One of the biggest myths about the promotional products industry is that you have to choose from a mediocre selection of branded products like mugs, padfolios, keychains, pens, and desk accessories. While there are certainly an infinite number of options in these categories, the reality is there are also a wide range of premium, brand name items available in the corporate marketplace so there is no need to sacrifice style and quality when searching for the perfect corporate gift or giveaway.
One of our favorite brands to work with is Maui Jim, makers of the very stylish, polarized sunglasses that are favored by everyone celebrities like Angelina Jolie, to pro surfers, sailers, and other high performance athletes. Maui Jim has been making premium quality frames since 1980, when it was a small company selling sunglasses on the beaches in Lahaina, Hawaii. A lot has changed since then and today, Maui Jim is the fastest growing polarized sunglass maker in the entire world.
Not only does Maui Jim design sunglasses that are stylish, they are also highly functional. In fact, the company is one of only three sunglasses manufacturers to have earned the seal of recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation, which is a symbol of safe and protective sun protection. The Skin Cancer Foundation?s Seal of Recommendation is granted to sun protection products that have been reviewed by and meet the specific criteria of an independent Photobiology Committee (experts in the study of the interaction of ultraviolet light and the skin). In order for sunglasses to earn the Seal of Recommendation, they must filter out at least 99 per cent of ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation.
