3. How much traffic will the mat get?
4. Will the logo mat be used indoors or outdoors?

The new golf putting mat from PromoMatting

The PPAI Expo 2012 in Las Vegas was a great way to kick off the new year!

Traffic seemed a bit slower this year and the mood a little more somber. But many attendees were optimistic that marketing budgets are improving as the economy shows signs of strengthening.

In the PromoMatting booth, we introduced our eye-catching new DuraMat and a new DirtStopper mat design. We received many compliments on our logo mats, especially flocked mats, and there was a lot of interest in our new golf putting mat.

One of the things we love most about PPAI Expo is that it’s an excellent opportunity to meet new prospects and catch up with existing customers. We appreciate everyone who stopped by!

If you didn’t have a chance to come by our booth, please contact us to learn more. You can also see photos from the show on the PromoMatting Facebook page.

Next up: ASI Orlando, January 16 – 18. We’ll be in Booth 2406. Hope to see you there!

First up: schools. There are so many ways schools can use logo mats, of all different types! Here are some ideas:

• At entrances and in front of the desk in the main office – to keep floors clean, prevent slips, and display school pride

• Behind the front desk and library counter – suggest anti-fatigue mats for comfort, and counter mats to display key information or the school mascot

• In the cafeteria kitchen and janitor’s area – anti-fatigue and water-control mats for comfort and safety

• In the locker room – water-control mats to prevent slips

What types of logo mats would you sell to schools? Please share in the comments!

1. Submit your artwork files in the highest resolution possible. If possible, send us a vector file (Illustrator, Freehand or Corel Draw). Vector files are the best option because they can be enlarged without losing detail. If you send a .jpeg, .tiff or .EPS file, the resolution must be 300 dpi.
2. Does the artwork include text? Any text needs to be at least 1″ tall, with lines at least 1/8 thick.

If necessary, we can slightly alter your artwork to ensure the best quality and a beautiful, eye-catching mat! And as always, call us at 1-800-849-MATS if you need help with your artwork or have any questions.
