I Could Have Slept In But Why Should You Care?

A local running store, Runners Lane, is a catalyst for creating activities and connecting those who like to run, walk and train for formal competitions. They do a phenomenal job sharing what’s happening with the running community. Runners Lane is very active on social media. They promote and support a variety of events.

Groups like this tend to be very welcoming and support people of all fitness levels. I enjoy the relationships I have built here. We are all consistently encouraged and our participation is recognized. They also understand the value of brand identity and have become a client for my distributor business. This group was one of motivators to creating FreePromoTips SuccessFit.

From my own personal journey and with input from a variety of industry colleagues we have put together an exciting program dubbed FreePromoTips.com SuccessFit.

There are a few components to it including some unique education content, an “exercise” we are doing at the PPAI Expo and networking with others on all things recreational.

Those who have an interest in being active on any level are welcome to join the new SuccessFit Facebook Group and participate! Share your fitness selfies, events you participate in and whatever you like!

At the PPAI Expo in January, you will have the opportunity to connect with a few great suppliers and receive fitness products that you can use. These items also can be shared with your clients and used in health and wellness programs. To support the Promotional Products Education Foundation (PPEF) and to identify participants, we are requesting that a modest $9.60 donation be given in honor of the 96 new scholarship recipients for the 2014-2015 school year.

100 percent of the proceeds go to the foundation via a Web store that has been donated by our friends at SAGE. PPEF is an educational, charitable, nonprofit organization that awards college scholarships to students who have a parent working in the promotional products industry or who are working for a company in the industry. Since 1989, PPEF has awarded $1,267,000 in college scholarships to 774 students.
