Button Sells for $15,000!!!
Back in May, “a rare button sold for $15,100 on ebay.  The button is from the 1920 United States presidential election.  It features a picture of the Democratic nominee for President Governor James Cox of Ohio and the Vic Presidential candidate Franklin D Roosevelt.

The seller described the button as the “holy grail of political buttons”.  The auction had 18 bids.  The seller had little knowledge of the actual value of the button until it was listed.  The seller even threatened to cancel the auction if a higher bid wasn’t reached.” Quoted from: The Button Blogger!!

Two Examples of Great Promotional Buttons

Promotional Button Use | Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Here are a few great examples of how to get the most effective use out of your promotional buttons. You’ll notice that the buttons pictured below have a great appeal to them. The designs are great and the copy is short. When designing your buttons always remember that “less is more”. Especially when you are using these for promotional use. You want to have your customers come to you and ask you about the promotion you are currently running.

Jeff,

The Buttons came out amazingly well! I’ve never ordered buttons before, and to be honest I was a little worried but, they look amazing.

I will be ordering from you guys again in the future.

Do you VIV? PureButtons does..

PureButtons News | Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Here is a quick rundown of what VIV is. Taken from Do You VIV.

“So as some of you know, we’re all about finding ways to reuse old materials and thereby reduce our environmental footprint. It’s about taking the old & making it new. And it turns out, PureButtons.com feels the same way.

When PureButtons—a custom button and promotional products company—heard that we were looking to produce some eco-friendly Viv gear from recycled or discarded materials, they offered to send us thousands of buttons and magnets from a botched order they would have otherwise had to recycle. While recycling is a great option, PureButtons agreed that reuse trumps recycling, as it doesn’t require any energy or raw materials to process the old waste into a new product. In this case, all we needed was a few of our Viv stickers (which are also biodegradable), and the once rejected buttons were given a second chance at being worn.

So, thanks to PureButtons’ generous donation, we are very excited to add another item to our Viv gear collection! (all while saving valuable, raw materials for another day.)”Do you viv?

Button Magnets used oldest board game in the world

miscellaneous | Thursday, August 6th, 2009

I received this email from David late last night.

“I was in need of 400 1.5″ round magnetic tokens to use on a Demonstration Go Board I was assembling for our new local Go Club.
Go is the oldest board game in the world, being played unchanged for over 4000 years (yes, thats four thousand years.)  I had tried a set of plastic tokens from “The Bar Store” website, but the resultant product did not work because the magnets were too weak and the pieces sat too high on the board, falling off if accidentally brushed.  So it was with some trepidation that I called for some sample disks from your firm.  I was immediately impressed by the willingness of your sales agent to help me with my project and at my request, she sent me several sample buttons of the size and type I required. After determining that the sample buttons would work just fine, I placed my order for 400 1.5″ magnetic buttons, 200 white, 200 black”.
