Case HistorysAutomotive (Back to Top)An automotive manufacturer hosts a cocktail party for their preferred customers, introducing their new car model. They purchase a custom MUGSRUS™ food service kit, including disposable plates, napkins and wine/champagne glasses. The products advertise the manufacturer's logo and the logo of the new model, which adds a great deal of professionalism to the gathering. A major automotive manufacturer sells napkins and coasters to dealers on a co-op basis. They are utilized in the showrooms where beverages and snacks are served, and are highlighted by the custom imprint of new and exciting car models, complete with dealer name, address and phone number. A leading motorcycle manufacturer hosts an annual party for their employees and customers, using a number of MUGSRUS™ food service products all imprinted with the motorcycle logo. What a special way to say thanks for a great year. A small-town automotive dealer celebrated their 50th anniversary of being in business with a cocktail and hors d’oeuvre reception. Customers, friends, family and the mayor all filled the showroom to honor the milestone. To complement the festive event, colored napkins with a gold foil imprint and tinted cups were imprinted with the dealership’s original logo and the years in business. A dealer orders Third Hand Snack Trays to hand out to its customers upon purchase of a new car. The tray fits nicely in the center cup holder and provides additional space for the driver to store and organize small items while on the road. The dealer logo and contact information is printed for convenient reference. Banking/Financial Institutions (Back to Top)A community bank has a banquet hall that is used from time to time by community organizations. They keep the kitchen stocked with food service products from MUGSRUS™ that display the bank's logo. The organizations use the products, and the bank receives added advertising exposure. Some financial institutions provide custom-designed napkins and cups while discussing financial arrangements with customers. Many items offer information on their investment opportunities, in addition to the bank logo. One credit union purchases napkins and cups to honor their retirees. Their retirement parties are accented beautifully with these very special napkins, imprinted with the retiree's name, picture and length of service and brief synopsis of accomplishments. Churches/Religious Groups (Back to Top)A church has an annual family picnic and wants to give away something the families will keep, but is still cost-effective. They decide to order reusable stadium cups with the picnic theme and date printed on the cup. A community church has weekly dinners in the basement, and uses the Picnic-Pak from MUGSRUS™ with a napkin and utensils all in a heat-sealed package. The napkin displays the church logo. MUGSRUS™ Tote bag Ensembles are used in a Christian school to host new student recruits and their families. Civic/Community Groups (Back to Top)Fundraising can be a great moneymaker, and paper napkins printed with a local historic site and picture can make the local community proud that they are part of the promotion. The imprinted napkins can be put in poly bags of a custom count. This gives the look of a high perceived value for the fundraising group. A MADD® chapter prints their message
on coasters, and then donates the coasters to local bars and restaurants
to get the message out where the drinking is happening.

An annual company barbecue is approaching and the HR manager is looking for ways to improve attendance. She orders MUGSRUS™ Lobster/Barbeque Bibs with the date; place and a 'BBQ' logo imprinted, and gives them out to all the employees. The attendance nearly doubled. A communications company was launching a promotion and mailed out a creative gimmick: using MUGSRUS™ imprinted paper cups; they tied two cups together with a string, and made an item reminiscent of the telephone game children played years ago. Who wouldn't remember such a promotion? Corporations with private jets prefer to have distinctive appointments on hand for guests and corporate officials, but don't need large quantities for such a purpose. They order custom-designed MUGSRUS™ napkins and coasters for beverages and finger foods, imprinted with an artist's rendering of the jet and the company logo.

The opportunities are endless - some decide they'd like to keep monogrammed beverage napkins on hand for entertaining while another student's sister's wedding is quickly approaching. The napkins are a big hit and families continue to order year in and year out, long after their son or daughter has gone on to higher education.

Our products have worked in bank, trucking, phone, food, technology, agricultural, furniture, consumer products and party catalogs, just to name a few. Try it, you won't be sorry! A food manufacturer introduces a new cereal and, to launch it, buys time in grocery stores for sampling. MUGSRUS™ aprons and sampler cups are used with the new cereal's logo printed on both products. The servers were so prominent in their attire that the cereal attracted four times the number of people as those drawn to the other testing booths. A national machinery manufacturer, who displays at many national trade shows, invites their key accounts to pre-show cocktail parties. One of the biggest problems at a cocktail party is juggling a drink in one hand and a plate of hors d'oeuvres in the other. For those who want to shake hands or eat, this is virtually impossible without growing a third hand. The manufacturer ordered MUGSRUS™ Third Hand Snack Trays, which hold both the drink and snacks, leaving the other hand free for business cards or handshakes. They have ordered them throughout the year for nine different trade shows, imprinting each snack tray with a different apron costs less than a cloth apron, and all the servers were able to present themselves professionally each and every day.

Real Estate/Condominium Companies (Back to Top)A real estate company gives away custom-imprinted food service sets to families who just purchased a new home. The set displays the real estate logo and is given the day the family moves in. They are appreciative to have many disposable food service products with which to eat, as their dishes are somewhere in a buried box. Family and friends stop by to see the home, and they also take note of the goodwill of the real estate company. The coffee carrier is also a wonderful idea for this purpose, since many folks who have just moved haven’t yet had a chance to set up their small appliances. One condominium company promotes homes
through display models, accented beautifully with its own custom-designed
napkins and coasters. Beverages are served while sales prospects tour the
