Super Bowl 47 is a mere week away. Hopefully you're all set on any Super Bowl campaigns you're running, but if not, if it's fourth and inches with seconds left on the clock, here are a couple product ideas to help shove you into the endzone. (Just remember to have your touchdown dance ready; it's super-important this time of year.)
1. 12" #1 Hand from Amerifoam/The House of Foam
Amerifoam offers a ton of great foam gear perfect for the Super Bowl, such as the tried-and-true 12" #1 hand. Hands are available with or without handles and are made in the USA, which is usually good if you're in a hurry.
2. Thunderstix from Vonco
If you're not making noise at a Super Bowl party, you're doing it wrong. Vonco's Thunderstix are available in a bunch of different styles and are made-in-the-USA. If under 2,000 pieces, orders of its basic designs are available with a three-day rush. Score!
3. Hot Sauce Harry's Nacho Cheese Dip
It's a scientific fact that football is 4,000 percent better when nachos are around (I know that doesn't sound like scientific fact, but trust me on this one. I have a Ph.D. in cheese-to-chip interaction). With Hot Sauce Harry's, you can get a nice cheese sauce custom labeled and ready to roll quick, which puts your customer that much closer to nacho-town (the goal and dream of all men). The company also does drop-shipping, getting orders shipped one-to-two days after your order is received.
That's it for this week guys! Thanks for reading and see you all next week!
