Week 16, Volume 7 : What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas

Posted by bloogles on January 27, 2009

Viva Las Vegas!  Well, granted the PPAI show in Las Vegas wasn’t exactly Elvis Presley and Ann Margaret, but there were still some pretty exciting things going on…at least thats what we were told, since your humble neighborhood bloogles blogger stayed in Houston and held down the fort.

Nevertheless I vowed to live vicariously through our representatives Peter, Robert and Paul.  Being one of the first shows of the year, the PPAI Expo 2009 gave everyone an opportunity to showcase all of their new wares and demonstrate why their product lines are the best.

We at Hirsch Gift enter 2009 with a sense of refreshed optimism, a glint of hopefulness in our eyes, and a whopping brand spanking new 80 page catalog to highlight all of the great products that we are offering our customers for this coming year.  Personally, I’m very excited about our line of products, primarily because it brings back all of our best sellers and distributor favorites as well as some new stuff that totally tickles my “tech-e” bone.

T180 - Internet News Presenter and Weather Station

This gadget here is, in my humble opinion, the epitome of awesome!  It reminds of a superhero , in that it sits on your desk…and is completely unassuming, until it is needed!  The moment you click a button, automatically you have your stock indexes, 14 news and sports headlines, current weather including a 4 day future-cast and a clock for good measure. 

T543 - Morris USB Drive w/ Laser Pointer & Light

I’d like to think of the T543 as everything you could possibly need during a presentation.  A few years ago, you’d need to carry a laser pointer to highlight items on your prepared presentation which was most likely saved on a CD or Floppy disk (yes, I said Floppy disk), which you also had to carry.  More likely than not, the room was dark, so you also needed a small pocket flashlight for your notes.  The T543 takes care of all those needs and it fits in the palm of your hand.

T2150 - Lindy Emergency Charger

A few months back, there was this little event that hit the Gulf Coast region of Texas, this event was named Hurricane Ike.  I don’t know about you, but I was wholly unprepared and my cell phone ran out of charge about 2 days before I got my electricity back.  I’m not saying that everyone will get hit by a hurricane (heaven forbid) but you never know when there might be a situation where a quick charge from the T2150 could be a sanity saver!

4047 - Borsa Handbag Holder & Keychain

For those of you who frequent the Bloogles corner of the internet will know that I’m a pretty big Tech-Geek and if its a gadget that requires electricity, then I’m ALL over it.  The 4047 caught my attention in that, its just absolutely practical.  All the ladies out there know what I mean, when you go out to a restaurant and sometimes, theres just no place to put your purse besides the dirty floor.  That’s where the 4047 comes to save the day, it folds out into a handbag holder that you can hook onto the table to save your purse from the dirty floor, and the keychain is detachable so the valet doesn’t end up with your handbag holder!

Even though it has taken us a little longer than originally anticipated, this entry marks the end of our 7 Weeks, 7 Volumes journey.  In the time it took us to complete this, we’ve been through Hurricanes, upheavals, elections, awards, and accolades.  What in the world will we come up with next….hm…I wonder!

Week 15, Volume 6 : Victory is Sweet! Slightly Tangy, and with Just a Hint of “Tech-e”ness

Posted by bloogles on January 20, 2009

That’s right all you bloogles fans out there…Victory is Sweet!  Now, before I turn on the good ole 8-track and start dancing a fancy jig to the tune of Queen’s “We are the Champions”, I feel I must explain which “victory” I am referring to.

As you all may or may not know, Hirsch Gift has been awarded a 2009 Counselor Distributor Choice Award in the category of Digital Photo Frames!  Hooray!

This award means a lot to all of us here at Hirsch Gift, particularly because it was voted on by the distributors in the industry.   Here at HG, we’ve always prided ourselves in offering not only a quality product, but also a quality service and this award solidifies to us, that we are on the right track!

Before we commence with the high-fives and “woohoos”, a big heartfelt thank you to all those who voted for us this year and we will continue to do what we do in order to better serve all of our customers.
