In a recent study by a leading Texas university, insurance agents asked their customers for referrals. One group of agents gave out small gifts as a token of appreciation and the other group sent thank you notes. On average, customers who got the gift provided 23% more referrals. 

If you want to get your clients talking, try sending them something unusual, fun, or useful – that identifies with your business.

 Studies have shown that food gifts have a very high recall, more than most any other business gift category. If you’ve ever had our English butter toffee, delivered in packaging that makes a statement, you would never question why.

So what does that mean for you? While we can’t get you, say, a Tangerine Tango t-shirt, we can borrow inspiration from this color to energize your next promotion. Take a look at the following suggestions.

Orange is a surprisingly versatile color for apparel. It looks great with navy, brown and, yes, even black. It will also carry over into the fall, so you don’t need to worry about looking too summery come September.

This insulated lunch tote is sure to draw attention to your logo.

An orange mug provides a little extra pick-me-up with your morning (or mid-afternoon) caffeine fix.

Scout bags make great gifts, and we particularly love them as bridesmaids’ gifts or wedding favors. They even make wine totes!

We are only selling Scout through special orders, so please contact your sales representative or e-mail info@mooreexposure.com for more information.

Full-color imprints allow for multiple colors, half-tones and shades. For example, check out these hand sanitizers with a full-color label.

Full-color imprints are typically more expensive than one-color imprints, and tend to work best on white or light-colored items.  Not all items are available with full-color imprints. However, we currently offer them on t-shirts, mugs, note pads and more.

 “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” came to Fayetteville, NC for a special military-themed build this summer. The recipient of the new home is Barbara Marshall, a retired Navy officer who runs the Steps N Stages Jubilee House for homeless women veterans and their families. Now, thanks to “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” local businesses and volunteers, the Jubilee House will be able to help more veterans than ever before.

Moore Exposure donated t-shirts for the military volunteers to wear during the build. Viewers were able to identify volunteers based on their shirt colors: olive for active duty Army, navy for Marines, red for female veterans and grey for military spouses.

We are thrilled to be a part of something that shows the generosity and sense of community in Fayetteville. In less than one week – during a heat wave, no less! – we helped the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” team build a brand new home for a great cause.

Sandy the “Desert Dog” was kind enough to model them for us, and the results were too good to keep to ourselves!

The ties are made using two different methods, woven and wet dyed. Woven ties use pre-dyed threads to create the design, and are best for striped or tone on tone patterns.  The look is more textured, similar to embroidery.

Wet dyed ties are made by applying dye directly to white fabric, creating an allover design.  This produces a smooth look and is ideal for designs that require many colors or PMS colors. All ladies’ silk scarves are also wet dyed.

For more information and price estimates, please contact your sales representative or info@mooreexposure.com.

However, I have had an opportunity placed before me that I am very excited about. The Department of Defense has invited me to take part in a mission overseas. The time line for my departure is very short. I am afraid today is my last day at Moore Exposure.

For the last four years, I have had the privilege of working with a wonderful team here at Moore Exposure.  We are a team at Moore Exposure but feel like a family. I have had many wonderful times here with my family and have learned much from everyone here. I’ve also learned a lot about myself.

Being part of the military section has been a particular joy. As a veteran myself, I have loved working with soldiers on a daily basis. Sharing military humor and speaking the military language, I have felt right at home with my customers. Many have become great friends as well.

Steven Moore will continue to head the Military Section here at Moore Exposure. You can bet that you will receive the best in quality products and service that you received from me in my time here. Besides, Steven taught me everything I know about this business.

I would like to thank my customers and the Moore Exposure staff for molding me into a better man. I will miss you all.
