Despite doing my best to “mess with Texas,”* I managed to survive my trip to Dallas. I might write more about my trip later, but for now I just wanted to share a cool product I found.
The Paper Air Fresheners from EMT, pictured above, is the latest product I’ve seen to include some kind of removable tag or coupon, and something I feel like I’m seeing more and more of in general. There’s this air freshener, which I think is super-clever by the way, there’s Fey Promotional Products’ Tabbers bracelets that I wrote about for March’s My Best Promotion, and I noticed a similar paper bracelet in the new products booth at ASI Dallas as well. Combine this rise of tear-away tabs with similar ideas that are popping up, like Anvil Knitwear and Ariel Premium Supply becoming QR-code capable, and it sort of seems like there’s a trend starting with interactive products that provide some kind of value-add/ROI-hook.
Take a look around on your own and see if you come to the same conclusion about this (potentially) upcoming trend as I did. If it’s real and these kinds of items are catching on with end-buyers for whatever reason, it would probably be a good idea to figure out why this is and how you can incorporate such items into your business.
Until next week!
MONDAY MIKE FACT: My right knee is killing me and I’ve no idea why.
* By “Mess with Texas” I mean I ate a veggie burger twice and spent my nights either quietly ironing or reading.
Brilliant. Who knew you could even GET a veggie burger in Texas?! When did they lift the ban?

Haha, I didn’t say they weren’t illegal burgers. Do me a favor and don’t tell my probation officer. I’m still under John Law’s thumb for eating those tofu dogs on the Fourth of July, and if I get caught with non-meat again I’m going to the slammer for sure.

While that product is nice it is a me too. The most new and unique product I saw at the Dallas show was in the new product pavilion from Hartleigh Creations. They had The Can Grill, The Can Cooler, The Chill & Grill set, Chair Cooler and the Ottoman Cooler. 2,000 square inches of Branding on the Cooler or Grill! Anyone selling into the beer and beverage industry should look at this.
