At Hasseman Marketing, we are committed to helping fix the Appreciation Gap. We do that by assisting organizations to find really cool Branded Merch to gift to their team and their best customers. Our challenge is, there are so many categories of products that fit the bill! It’s a great problem to have! We work with amazing suppliers with great products…and that’s great! So we are going to feature different cool year-end gifts each time. This week we feature one of our favorite year-end gift categories…drinkware.
13 oz. Barista Ceramic Custom Mugs with Cork Bottom
We have been featuring this ceramic mug a lot this year. Made with stoneware and a faux cork bottom, this piece not only has a great look (and it does) but the cork helps to protect your hands from the heat of that much-needed coffee in the morning. This has a great look for an office mug or is the perfect mug to hand out to clients. Click here to find pricing.
12 oz. Itsy Vacuum Insulated Travel Mug
Can you say functional? This double wall vacuum sealed tumbler is perfect to keep your coffee hot or your cold drinks cold, but it is perfect for on the go…or staying at the office. And with this smaller size, you can also use this with your Keurig as well. Priced here with a one-color imprint, this is a great year-end gift that will not break the bank.
Hydro Flask® Standard Mouth 21 oz Bottle with Flex Cap
Your perfect travel companion. Keep life moving with the Hydro Flask® Standard Mouth With Flex Cap 21oz. It stashes easily into a small shoulder bag, your pack’s side pocket, or your car cup holder, and holds enough ice-cold goodness to keep you going for hours without weighing you down. No wonder it’s one of our bestselling water bottles. TempShield™ insulation eliminates condensation and keeps beverages cold up to 24 hours and hot up to 12 hours. Learn more here.

The Apple TV series Ted Lasso has been a hit with audiences and critics alike, but it’s not just a heartwarming comedy. It’s also a treasure trove of leadership lessons that can be applied in any workplace. Here are five lessons in leadership from Ted Lasso.
5 Lessons In Leadership from Ted Lasso
Create A Vision: Give your team something to BELIEVE in. If you want to build a great culture and a great team, you need a unifying vision. Your job as a leader is to create that vision…and get them to buy into it.
Listening Builds Trust: Sometimes as leaders, we think we need to tell people what to do. And sometimes, we do need to do that. But often, when you listen to those who are on the front lines of your team, you can uncover real issues that need to be fixed. And when you do that, you build trust.
Forgiveness Is a Superpower: This is a theme over and over in Ted Lasso. We all make mistakes. Some of your team members will too. But when you can forgive those mistakes and move on, you can forge real and strong relationships.
Toxic People Kill Culture: We have all seen it. When there is an uber-talented team member, they often get special treatment. And when that person is a jerk, it can really tear down the culture of the team. Getting rid of that talented team member can often be the bravest and most powerful move a leader can make.
Power In Positivity: When you create a culture (like Ted does) where you continually lift people up, they feel better about the organization. And in my experience, if you spend time lifting them up on a regular basis, when you need to provide candid feedback, they are more open to it. Ted Lasso created a positive culture that provided a fertile ground for success. I hope you do too!
It’s a tradition like no other. For over 15 years, Hasseman Marketing has hosted an “End User” trade show and has invited our customers (and people who want to be customers). It’s evolved and grown over the years and we are quite proud of it. This year’s event will be Thursday, October 12th from 11 am to 3 pm at NewPointe Community Church…and we are fired up about it already!
But why should you come? We want this event to be fun AND add a ton of value. Here are 6 reasons to attend The Hasseman Marketing Trade Show.
Incredible Product Access
We invite some of our top (and favorite) supplier reps to showcase their lines at the show. I like to say “There is no way I could fit all of this in my trunk.” You get to see and touch and feel the product and see what it’s really like. We all know that many products look the same online or in a catalog. But when you get them up close you can really see a difference. This is the perfect place to make sure your brand materials are on point.
Idea Generation
As you walk around and see the latest and greatest in Promo, you will come up with some great ideas for upcoming projects. The reality is, the show is at a great time of year for year-end gifts for your team or customers. But some of our best customers come every year and start to plan their marketing for the next year and beyond.
Great MERCH
Nobody leaves empty-handed! We put on a fun event where (with the help of our suppliers) we invest in putting some really cool SWAG in your hands. In addition, we build the event around a theme so you can see how we use a bunch of different items around a theme!
Additional Services
You may think you know all that we do at Hasseman Marketing, but we find that most people discover new ways to promote their organization! Having all of the ideas in one place can be very illuminating! For example, did you know we do website development or in-house print services? We do. And you can find out more about them at the event.
Tasty Food
You have to eat right? We have food and drinks as well. Each year we get compliments about the tasty treats and we know this year will be no different. The event this year is on Thursday, October 12th from 11 am to 3 pm at NewPointe Community Church in Coshocton County. Our goal is to create an event that provides value and fun…and you never want to miss.
New Location
And yes, we are going to have it at a new location this year! We are excited about the space…and we think you will be too!
