Halloween Happenings

October 31 brought spooky sights to the Allen Company headquarters. A lunch time party included all the ghouls and goblins gathered together to enjoy food and fun. Costume creativity continues to grow - which comes as no surprise considering the great problem solving teamwork of our employees. Everyone enjoyed the break in their usual day and the chance to enjoy the occasion.

BOSS'S DAY

APPRECIATION. IT'S WHAT'S FOR BREAKFAST.

A sunrise breakfast to say "thanks for making us shine every day!"

Our great team members in the factory are the unsung heroes of your orders. Their hard work is something we appreciate each day.

This week our office team decided to show a little love in a unique way by cooking breakfast bright and early one morning as a "thank you" to the factory for making us shine.

A good time and great food was shared by all present.

Who do you want to thank today for their day in, day out effort that helps you shine?

It's National Coffee Day!  Wherever the day takes you - and wherever you take your coffee - carry your message with a custom imprinted coffee mug or vacuum insulated bottle!

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

While other parts of the country might mourn the end of summer, here in the midwest we celebrate the change of seasons. Especially the onset of Autumn.  Bright blue skies, sunny days, the crunch of fallen leaves under foot and tailgating. Tailgating at high school soccer, college football, pro football and any excuse we can find other sports and events.

We love to spend these days outdoors with our favorite people, our favorite foods and our favorite beverages.  A perfect pairing with these days that start out with brisk mornings, move to sun warmed afternoons and end in chilly evenings by a fire is our Boss or Little Boss tumblers. These versatile tumblers go with you through your day from that much needed hot caffeine boost in the morning to an icy cold beverage during the game and back to something warm for the evening. 

Our 30 ounce Rose Gold Boss tumblers and 20 ounce Camo Print Little Boss tumblers are being offered at incredible prices right now.  After you share these with your favorite customers you may just find yourself being tempted into an order for yourself!

Fall has arrived and here at Allen ColorCraft® one of the signs of Autumn is an influx of new products to review for the coming year.

We're working now on our First Look preview of possible products from 2018.  From the comfortable fit of tried and true ceramics to expanded offerings from our current brands to the welcome of new brand partners and their exciting products, we choose our new products for our line with the same care and consideration your customers give when choosing for themselves.

With new products and colors coming in from CamelBak® and BlenderBottle® and new colors from Takeya® as well as the introduction of our new BOSSS 2.0 products, you are sure to be as excited as we are by what's in store for 2018! Be sure to watch here for peeks of new colors, new styles and brand new products as we wind up 2017 and  move into 2018!

TRANSITION THROUGH THE SEASONS WITH DUAL USE DRINKWARE

Cicadas are calling outside my window as I write this morning. In the Midwest I've always considered the increasing levels of that sound as a harbinger of the end of summer.

As I filled a used-everyday CamelBak®  KickBak™  with my summer morning standard of ice to the top and my favorite soft drink, er, fresh healthy water, I realized that soon the mornings would start with something hot to drink. It's an easy switch with the KickBak™ because it's made for hot or cold drinks.

Dual use promotional drinkware products that work with both hot and cold beverages are becoming increasingly popular. There's no better season to share these great products with your customers than this transition time when the days begin brisk and cool yet still warm up to a toasty level. Increased opportunities for use equal increased exposure for the customer logo or message imprinted on that tumbler or bottle!

We offer a great selection of stainless steel dual use tumblers and bottles. Explore the Products tab at the top of our Home page. Check out our branded product lines for a variety of transitional items to take you and your customer through the change of seasons and activities.
