How to Keep Up Your New Year’s Resolutions

January 31, 2018/in News/by Art

As January comes to a close a lot of us are starting to feel the fatigue of our New Years resolutions. Take a look at a few ways to keep your goals from falling by the wayside.

Choose Your Resolutions Carefully

Remember, you can’t change your life in one year. If you started the year off with more than three resolutions you may be finding it difficult to keep up with all of them. Take a moment to prioritize your resolutions and keep the top three, let the other ones fall in to place along side them. You may find that focusing on your top three resolutions is all you needed to ensure that the last few come together well.

Be Realistic

For most of us trying to lose that extra twenty pounds this month didn’t work out, and you’re probably not a billionaire yet from all the money saving that you’ve been doing. Just remember, don’t get discouraged! Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it’ll definitely take more than a month to change things in your life. Everything worth doing takes time. So, allow yourself to let the process work. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Write a list of ‘Why’s’

The top three New Years resolutions are – Lose weight, manage money better and get organized. But why? Do you want to lose weight to live a healthier lifestyle? Do you want to put your savings toward a college fund for your children? Will being organized help you with that new business venture? If so, WRITE IT DOWN. You need to remember ‘why’ you’re doing this.

Don’t Give up!

Fall off the wagon? Don’t worry, there’s still have eleven months to hop back on. While you’re at it why not check out a few of these custom promotional products that’ll help keep you motivated.

1/2 c Parmesan cheese , shredded

3 tbsp Butter , melted

1 tsp Garlic powder (more to taste)

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Place the bottom half of the slider buns in a greased casserole dish.

Place cooked chicken tenders on the bottom buns and then cover them in sauce.

Combine the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the sauce.

Place the top buns on the sliders.

Melt the butter and mix the garlic powder until it is thoroughly combined. (feel free to add more garlic powder if you like garlic as much as I do!)

Pour the melted butter over the buns and then sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes.

Finally, the best part of every meal…Dessert!

Holiday Sugar Cookie Truffles – You know why dessert is spelled with Two S’s? Because it’s Sooo Scrumptious!

INGREDIENTS

12 sugar cookies (about 2 1/2 to 3-inches in diameter)

3 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature

2 cups white chocolate for melting (or candy melts)

Sprinkles for decoration

DIRECTIONS

Place sugar cookies in a food processor and process until cookies turn into fine crumbs. Add cream cheese and process again until well-combined and mixture can be pressed into a ball, 1 to 2 minutes.

Shape cookies into balls about 1-inch to 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for 15 minutes or the refrigerator for 1 hour.

In medium bowl, melt white chocolate according to instructions. (See my tips for melting chocolate .)

Remove the cookie balls from refrigerator. Using a spoon or two forks, dip and roll chilled cookie balls, one at a time, in coating. Return to lined cookie sheet and immediately top with sprinkles. Repeat process for remaining cookie balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Custom Corrugated Plastic Yard Signs

September 18, 2017/in News/by Art

Custom Yard Signs by Alamo Tees

Custom Corrugated Plastic Yard Signs

Custom Yard Signs and Coroplast Signs from Alamo Tees

Do your yard signs keep disappearing? Alamo Tees & Advertising offers the perfect solution for custom coroplast yard signs!

What Is Coroplast?

Coroplast is basically tough, waterproof plastic cardboard made from polypropylene. Polypropylene is known to be resistant to oils, chemicals, solvents, UV lights, and water, meaning that it can withstand bad weather conditions and corrosion.

The Many Uses of Custom Coroplast Yard Signs

Coroplast can be used for several different purposes, including:

Real Estate Signs

Even though many different businesses use custom coroplast yard signs, the real estate industry possibly uses them the most. Coroplast signs effectively advertise open houses, businesses, and homes for sale.

In the real estate industry, custom coroplast yard signs help promote a specific real estate agency and build brand awareness. With a wide variety of colors to choose from, we can easily create corrugated signs that showcase your branding and attract prospective buyers.

Point of Purchase Display

A coroplast yard sign can also be used as informational signs or as a point of purchase display to attract customers’ attention to new products, special features, or even promotional products. Since coroplast is strong and durable, it makes for ideal advertising — indoors or out.

Political and Campaign Signs

Custom coroplast yard signs can also be used as political signs during the election season. Because coroplast signs are lightweight and affordable, they are a cost-effective way to enhance visibility among constituents. The supporters of a particular candidate can hand out these political lawn signs as they campaign in different neighborhoods.

Special Event Signage

Got a library book sale, neighborhood rummage sale, charity fun run or other special event coming up? Coroplast yard signs are a great way to advertise special events or yard sales and attract more people.

Menu Boards for Restaurants

Coroplast signs offer a great way to showcase your restaurant’s menu. These weatherproof signs can also be placed outside your restaurant to advertise specials and draw more diners in.

Whatever your business may be, it can benefit from high-quality plastic corrugated signs that can be used anywhere.

Benefits of Corrugated Plastic Signage

Unlike other signage materials, corrugated plastic signs are weatherproof, making them ideal for outdoor signage.
There is no limit to the placement of corrugated plastic signs, meaning that they can be used anywhere and by anyone, including realtors, churches, politicians, and landscapers, among many others.
Corrugated plastic signage is easily customizable. You can use dry-erase markers or even stick-on lettering to create your design.

Custom coroplast signs are among the most versatile signs you can get. This means that regardless of what you’re advertising or promoting, you can rely on them to get your message across.

And let us design a custom yard sign specific to your needs!

Customize your yard signs with your business information and logo.

Coroplast signs are a great way to advertise your company or show your support. Order custom yard signs for your realty business or show your love for your student’s sports team. Our custom signs are printed on the highest quality material with UV protection. Perfect for outdoor use!

Our in-house graphic artists can customize your design and even match colors. We focus on brand and identity and consistency ensuring your designs look great across the board.

No matter which promotional products you choose for your marketing campaign, you can take your branding and customer engagement even further with the following tips:

Include Your Social Media

Include your social media handles on the items. Most teens and adults have at least one social media account. If you do not already have a business page, now is the time to make one and increase brand awareness. We can print your handle or page name on promotional items. Just give us the handle you use on Twitter, Facebook or any other social media platform you would like to promote.

Add Your Website URL

When somebody wants to know more about a business, they go online! We can include any website URL on any type of promotional item. This is a great way to increase website traffic. A URL added to a tote bag or tee shirt can generate quite a bit of traffic to your website.

Choose a QR or Coupon Code

We also recommend that you add a QR code or a coupon code to promotional items. These codes inspire consumers to take a desired action, such as visiting your website. Consumers are more likely to make a purchase when they have an incentive, such as a discount on their purchase.

We create fun and eye-catching promotional products that you can give away to customers and members of the community. In addition to printing your business name and logo or your own name and campaign logo on the items, we have some additional ways to help you advertise your business.

Tips For Successful Fundraising

December 14, 2016/3 Comments/in News/by

Running a Successful Fundraiser

Need to raise money for your child’s sports team or to support a worthwhile cause? Raising money is hard work, no matter what economy you face. Rather than invest your valuable time and resources with little payback, we have provided some tips on how to run a successful fundraiser.

Establishing a basic sales technique can help garner donations or interest in your cause. Do not ask anyone if they want to buy anything without first sharing information about yourself, your cause, and your goal. Emphasizing your cause will convince individuals to donate because they can understand it on a personal level. If you’re careful to respect your sellers and buyers throughout the fundraising process, you’re bound to be successful. If there is an incentive prize, choose one that is relevant to your cause. If your cause is raising money for a child’s sport team, the grand prize could be tickets to the big game or that of a popular sports team. Keep it manageable. Ultimately, you will want to work as a team to gain the best ideas and to spread awareness.

Remember to promote your fundraiser as much as possible! Do so with flyers, a social media campaign, even t-shirts! At Alamo Tees & Advertising , we provide custom shirts and much more for fundraising purposes. Use them to advertise your cause or event. For additional information, contact us at (210)699-3800.
