The Misadventures of Match-Up

We took a break from the rigors of bobblehead producing and attended the annual Match-Up outing at Islands of Adventure. Words used to describe the day..."Excellent" (Heidi), "****** fantastic" (Nikole), "Great" (Jaklyn), "Complete and utter terror" (Adam). Check out all the photos on our MySpace page!

Ok—we'll get serious—for a second

The last couple of weeks have been very hectic at Match-Up...babies being born, Member-Guest golf tournaments, flowers at the office, the Rays beating the accent out of the Red Sox, preparations for the company retreat...but let us put a hold on our mundane activities and hit ya with some knowledge. The PowerPoint found at www.ppai.com/NR/rdonlyres/C030EB75-907C-4C28-A977-0C09B6CF4FC0/0/power.PPT#1 contains enlightening facts and figures (actual validated research) showing end-users exactly how effective promotional products are! And if you don't care for the actual data- remember we have been endorsed by both Senator's McCain and Obama and Beldar (the President of the Planet Melmac- you know, where ALF was from).

Alaskans and Hockey Moms For Match-Up!

Match-Up goes against the status quo regarding most promotional item provider's views of seeing short-term profit as the overriding goal." You betcha Sarah

Top 10 Reasons to Partner with Match-Up

1. We are good spellers 2. We buy dinner—and drinks—and dessert—and drinks 3. We watched the "Cowbell" skit from SNL yesterday 4. Our GM has great hair 5. Baby Braydon is almost here and we are taking creative inspiration from the miracle of child birth 6. We work with FSU, Georgia, and UF—like Obama, we are a uniter and not a divider 7. We will save you money. Like McCain, we've cut out the excess "pork" around here. Speaking of pork—the BBQ pork sandwich from Sonny’s is really tasty. 8. We laugh at stupid jokes. A neutron goes into a bar and asks the bartender, "How much for a beer?" The bartender replies, "For you, no charge." 9. The new "90210"? Yeah, we hate it too. 10. Our clients really, really love us. Really!
