			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>                                             <em>Buy Promos Online, LLC announces the launch of a new line of promotional gifts that fits a pinched budget &#8212; $3.00 and Under promos. Tough times push companies to seek creative and affordable ways to grow their business. Promotional items for trade shows, appreciation gifts, and holiday greetings are a smart way to stay top of mind with new prospects and existing clients.</em></p>
<p>Denton, NC (BizNNeed)  &#8212; Companies are increasingly searching for smarter and more economical ways to generate new business and grow existing accounts.</p>
<p>The irony of challenging business cycles is that companies need more business, but have less money to market. <a href="http://www.buypromosonline.com/" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="Buy Promos Online">Buy Promos Online</a> recognizes this dilemma and is ready to help &#8212; launching a brand new, more affordable line of unique and creative gifts.</p>

</table>
<p>&#8220;If you are feeling the pinch in your pocket this year you can still purchase promos, but look for items that are more affordable,&#8221; counsels Stephany Mushonga, Senior Executive of Buy Promos Online. &#8220;Consider new ideas or take your promotional campaign in a new direction.&#8221;</p>
<p>The $3.00 and under business promotion product line increases your business opportunities for less money. This more for less strategy, used by savvy business owners, is putting their brands in the homes and offices of hundreds of potential buyers &#8212; increasing new inquiries and client referrals.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, in a political campaign year, with trade show season in full swing, and the holidays fast approaching, inventories for promotional items are being decimated. &#8220;It has become essential to start thinking about your holiday season and trade show needs now, explains Mushonga. We cannot stress strongly enough that limited stock is becoming problematic throughout the entire promotional products sector.&#8221;</p>
<p>Growing a business in tough times can lead to big rewards. This is why increasing awareness and promoting your business is more critical than ever. Buy Promos Online is always looking for ways to make it easier for companies to keep their promotional and incentive strategies strong.</p>
<p>&#8220;Buy Promos Online understands the changing times and we are working hard to help our customers.

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black">    We are writing to tell you about some changes occurring in the promotional products market that will ultimately affect you and your business.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black"></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; widows: 0; orphans: 0"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black">    Because of factors in the global and domestic marketplace, the price of promotional items across the board will be increasing in the next few weeks. It is also anticipated that pricing will continue to rise. Cost and demand for raw materials and commodities like oil-based products (plastics) are soaring and show no signs of slowing. Most promotional products, whether manufactured abroad or domestically, are made in part or in whole by these materials. Additionally, fuel costs to transport these items are skyrocketing.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; widows: 0; orphans: 0"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black">    To make matters worse the Summer Olympic Games, hosted by China, had a direct impact on the promotional industry. The Chinese government tried to get a handle on its horrendous pollution problem by closing some factories – many of which manufacture the products you use as promotional items — to lessen the pollution level and reduce the amount of traffic on main thoroughfares. Basically, the output in some areas will grind to a halt. Industry leaders expect that lead-times will continue to lag for several months after the Olympics. Factories will be stretched to catch up heading into the busy retail holiday season and many of the raw material factories will have a backlog of orders. This will disrupt the entire supply chain through China…sadly most products in our industry do originate in China.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; widows: 0; orphans: 0"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black">    As a business-minded person you are probably not very surprised at what you have read thus far. American businesses are experiencing a challenging period for growth. Though trimming the advertising &amp; marketing budget may be necessary, it is still vital to promote your brand and your company to remain successful. Promotional products are important in tough times. <strong>The good news is that with a little planning and creativity you don’t have to break the bank to advertise!</strong></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; widows: 0; orphans: 0"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black">    It has become essential to start thinking about your holiday season and trade show needs <u>NOW</u>. We cannot stress strongly enough that limited stock will be problematic. If you are feeling the pinch in your pocket this year you can still purchase promos but look for items that are more affordable. Consider new ideas or take your promotional campaign in a new direction.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; widows: 0; orphans: 0"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black">    We highly recommend purchasing ALL promos <strong>EARLY</strong> due to the reasons cited above. <strong>Product pricing will continue to rise and, stock cannot be guaranteed</strong> (and the closer we get to the holidays the greater chance stock will not be available) To ensure on-time delivery order as early as possible.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; widows: 0; orphans: 0"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black">    Buy Promos understands the changing times and we are working hard to help our customers. We continue to offer the best pricing possible.
