MOM'S WEEKEND 2019 

Last night, we held a happy hour for our clients, friends and Seattle area professionals at Flatstick Pub in Pioneer Square - one of our favorite places in the Downtown Seattle area. We share a collaborative workspace in South Lake Union and are thrilled to have Flatstick Pub as our clients, friends and partners, so it was an honor to host our inaugural co-branded event in their Pioneer Square space.

3 NEW TIPS FOR ACHIEVING THAT ELUSIVE WORK/LIFE BALANCE

1. Don't sleep in too late. This may sound counterproductive at first – if we’re trying to balance life and work, why limit sleep? Should we be up working all the time? Nope. You should be out living. Get a full 8 hour snooze in, but don’t keep silencing that alarm each day, especially on the weekends. You may feel tired at first, but you’ll revel in that extra time to shower, eat a well-rounded breakfast and get to take some personal “you” time. If you get your work or errands out of the way, you can make time to see friends, get in a solid workout or just stay in all night with a cup of tea and YouTube cat videos.

SAVING MONEY ON BOOKS: HOW TO KEEP READING WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK

Reading is the ultimate underrated pastime. Weeks, months or even years can pass by and you don’t even realize that you haven’t read a book. Then, when you go to pick out a book, you realize you don’t want to spend more than $10 on something you may only use once. So, here are 5 tips and tricks for saving some money on books!

Make promo products go to work for you. It's one of the easiest, fastest and most hands-off ways to advertise your company in the long term.

Why Promo?

- Flyers get thrown in the trash. Business cards pile up. Promo products - those people use. A promo product is basically any piece of merchandise with your company or brand name, logo, slogan, design or messaging on it. 

- As seen in the infographic above, there's an incredible return on investment with promo products. We produce them affordably so you can blanket your town with your name. These make great client gifts, giveaways, leave-behinds, mailers and more - whether you're looking for small items like USB drives or hand sanitizers, mid-sized items like umbrellas or drinkware or large scale displays like tradeshow panels, we can help you advertise your business in the most cost-effective, long term way possible.

- The average billboard is tremendously expensive and the average digital ad, while affordable, is seen only once or twice. Your promo products are seen all the time - for months or even years!

- Not only do the people that receive your promo products see them all the time, reinforcing your company name, but the people around them see them all the time, too. Every time that pen comes out at a meeting or someone passes by a desk calendar or someone is behind you with your company umbrella - people remember your name.

WHY YOU NEED TO GET INVOLVED IN STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS 

How many times has a boomer reminded you that college will be the best four years of your life? My guess is about seven times a day for the last decade. Here’s the thing, though – they’re actually not wrong about this one. College has been the most fun I’ve ever had in my life – over 21 years! Here’s why: I joined student organizations that made my time here more than worthwhile.
