<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center; ">&nbsp;I'm always on the lookout for better, cooler and more customizable versions of popular giveaway items for my blog readers.<br />
<br />
That's just what I found this week when I was doing an idea search for a client. I'm really impressed with these little pocket sanitizer sprays from our ExpressPens product line:<br />

<br />
These custom logo sanitizers are Made in the USA, from plastic that contains 30% recycled material. They're made to order, which allows you to choose the plastic colors for all three areas: &nbsp;the spray nozzle, the body and the bottom trim piece.<br />
<br />
Not only can you choose the plastic <strong>colors</strong>, you can also choose the plastic<strong> type</strong> (crystal clear or translucent frosted). That gives you hundreds of possible combinations to make this item uniquely your own!<br />
<br />
Here are the plastic colors you can choose from:<br />
<strong>Red - Green - Smoke Gray - Blue - Pink - Purple - White - Clear</strong><br />
<br />
You also get to choose from three types of spray inside the bottles: Non-Alcohol Citrus or Lavender, or a 62% Ethyl Alcohol Lavender<br />
<br />
That's a pretty amazing amount of customization for a swag item that costs less than $2.00 (minimum order is 300 at $1.79/ea). <br />
<br />
These are 2.12&quot; x 3.12&quot; in size, with a standard production time of 5 working days. They're a fantastic swag idea for giving away at tradeshows, health fairs and conferences. They're also a nice idea for senior centers, public health organizations, hospitals, daycare providers, schools and universities.<br />

<title>Step Up Your Branding: Custom Logo Pedometers!</title>

<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center; ">Custom logo pedometers are a popular swag idea for spring and summer events and tradeshows. They associate your brand with health and fitness, they're small and easy to travel with, and if used they generate a high rate of logo impressions for a low cost.<br />
<br />
If logo branded pedometers are a swag idea you're considering, the variety of choices and styles can be overwhelming. If you search our site by the keyword &quot;Pedometer&quot; you'll find over 150 choices! <br />
<br />
Here's a quick guide to the different types of custom pedometers and how they differ in functionality and price:<br />
<br />
<strong>STEP COUNTERS</strong> - Lowest Priced, Most Basic Type of custom pedometer:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://j.b5z.net/i/u/2076610/i/Simple_Steps_Pedometer_ezr.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<a href="http://www.swagconnection.com/:quicksearch.htm?quicksearchbox=VSZKI-HKZBU&amp;submit.x=16&amp;submit.y=12" target="_blank">&nbsp;Simple Steps Pedometer - Our item #VSZKI-HKZBU</a><br />
<br />
Step counters have a motion sensor that 'feels' when a step is taken and counts the steps on a simple display screen. They're simple to operate, just press the reset button to start at zero and start walking! <br />
<br />
The downside to this type of pedometer is that they don't provide much information, just the number of steps taken between resets. That makes them less useful (and therefore less likely to be used) than ones with more robust features.<br />
<br />
Step counting pedometers come in battery and solar-powered models, and in large-display models that are nice choices for Seniors or kids.<br />
<br />
Step counting pedometers are the lowest priced, typically in the $2-$4 price range. The cheapest ones often come with a non-replaceable battery. If you choose those, be sure they include an auto shut-off feature for the longest useful life.<br />
<br />
<strong>MULTI-FUNCTION PEDOMETERS</strong>: Step, Distance &amp; Calorie Counters<br />
<br />
<img src="http://j.b5z.net/i/u/2076610/i/Widescreen_Pedometer_ezr.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<a href="http://www.swagconnection.com/:quicksearch.htm?quicksearchbox=NPBIJ-GVFQL&amp;submit.x=21&amp;submit.y=9" target="_blank">Widescreen Walker - Our item #NPBIJ-GVFQL</a><br />
<br />
Looking for a more accurate and sophisticated custom logo pedometer, which is more likely to be kept and used? The multi-function Step, Distance and Calorie Counter Pedometers are the next &quot;step up&quot;, in both features and price. <br />
<br />
Custom logo multi-function pedometers like this <strong>Widescreen Walker</strong> allow the user to input their stride length for greater accuracy and have an easy to read LED display. They make it easy to track data over time since they measure the distance covered and number of calories burned between resets. <br />
<br />
These come in battery and solar-powered models, in a variety of different styles. Multi-Function pedometers are typically gift-boxed with user instructions and are priced a little higher than step counters, with many good choices in the $3-$5 range.<br />
<br />
<strong>DELUXE MULTI-FUNCTION</strong>: with Lights, Radios BMI &amp; More!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://j.b5z.net/i/u/2076610/i/Flashlight_Pedometer_ezr.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<a href="http://www.swagconnection.com/:quicksearch.htm?quicksearchbox=WODFH-EXUMD&amp;submit.x=14&amp;submit.y=6" target="_blank">Flashlight &amp; Siren Pedometer, our item #WODFH-EXUMD</a><br />
<br />
Pedometers now come with lots of cool &amp; useful features that go way beyond basic. The model shown above is great for walkers and runners; it records steps, distance &amp; calories burned along with a built-in flashlight and super-loud 95db safety siren!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://j.b5z.net/i/u/2076610/i/BMI_Pedometer_ezr.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<a href="http://www.swagconnection.com/:quicksearch.htm?quicksearchbox=%09LOYIB-EIZBN&amp;submit.x=16&amp;submit.y=14" target="_blank">Body Fat &amp; BMI Measuring Pedometer - our item #LOYIB-EIZBN</a><br />
<br />
This fancy looking pedometer above measures steps, distance and calories, as well as BMI and body fat for up to 5 different users. There are also custom logo pedometers with built-in radios, built-in heartrate monitors and even USB interfaces that transfer workout data directly to a computer.<br />
<br />
Fancy, special-function pedometers start out in the $4-$5 range and can go up to around $20 for USB-compatible styles. These types of custom branded pedometers are excellent for corporate wellness or sports training programs, as the higher-end models also tend to be the most accurate. These also make a nice client, donor or patient gift for health-related companies or charities.<br />
<br />
No matter which style of logo-branded pedometer you choose, there are a couple of things to keep in mind when ordering them. The biggest problem is usually the small imprint area. Some logos just don't fit, or have too much text or detail to work on such a small item. That also means it's hard to print contact info on them, like phone numbers, long URLs, etc.<br />
<br />
If you're not sure your logo will work on a pedometer we'll be happy to evaluate it at no charge. We can also search our pedometers by the imprintable area dimensions to find the best match for your custom branding.<br />
