Holiday Promotional Ideas

It’s an unfortunate fact that most people skim-read information online. Using images on your website or enewsletter will keep readers from skimming too much. Pictures work like road-signs, giving the reader an idea of what’s ahead and a reason to pay attention. Too many words are a dense, unnavigable forest to the eye.

Many people, myself included, omit images to save time. With that in mind, here are some gift images and blurbs you for your holiday promotions.

All prices listed are suggested retail.

Gift Ideas $20 – $35

PADI Blanket – $25

PADI Laptop Backpack – $35
