Valentine Day Promo

I often (for either my job or for the National Sales Network) have to find, review & select promotional products as give-aways, prizes or awards for various types of events. For instance, my chapter is having our State of the Organization on Feb 13th and we have networking game that we are going to play and I have to select appropriate prizes for the event.


I was recently asked to select and review a keychain from WholesaleKeychain.com for their Valentines Day promotion.


I was to choose from the following:


I selected the Metal Heart Keychain - why...I don't know - because it was the one that seemed most "business like" of the selections for my event. It also allowed for 3 lines of engraving, a max of 11 characters per line.


The picture does not do justice to the actual keychain. The pic makes it look kinda thin and rinky-dink. The real thing - the heart is of nice weight & thick, the strap is real leather. I was duly impressed. I was a tad disappointed in the engraving. I submitted the following 3 lines:

Forever
Yours
Forever Mine



All I got was "Forever". I guess my engraving request got lost in email translation; however, on the website there are 3 separate boxes to enter what you want engraved so there really shouldn't be any confusion when ordering.



I doubt that I would buy a keychain for a Valentines Day present unless there was a key to a car, house, safe deposit box...you get the point...attached to it. The Crystal Heart Keychain would be nice for that purpose. However, I would purchase them for a business event as a giveaway.



3 readers will have the chance to win one of these key chains if you leave me a comment on what you would use it for or how you would use the keychain (business or pleasure) and which keychain above that you would choose. Leave me a comment by Monday, Feb 8th.
