<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Code Enforcement/Associate Planner <br /> <br />DATE: June 17, 2016 <br /> <br />RE: City Promotional Items <br /> <br />In the past, the City has received requests from the Little Canada Elementary School or St. Johns <br />School to donate an item to an event the school is hosting. For those requests, city staff has rifled <br />through a stock of sweatshirts or t-shirts with our logo that we’ve had on hand for a number of years <br />(from before we launched the online city store for apparel). As well on occasion at the front counter <br />we will have tourists that come into the office inquiring about Little Canada. For those instances, <br />we’ve handed out lapel pins with our city logo. Lastly, the Council for the past couple of years has <br />handed out glowsticks to kids during the Nite to Unite festivity. However, we have run out of <br />glowsticks and the sizes left for our sweatshirts and t-shirts are mainly small or XXL. Therefore, city <br />staff was asked to look at some new ideas and costs for promotional items for the Council to consider. <br />There are two categories for promotional items – <br />1) Smaller trinket items that could be handed out for Nite to Unite, school class tours of city <br />hall, tourists, etc. <br />2) Gifts that would be handed out in Canadian Days gift bags to Thunder Bay representative or <br />school silent auctions, etc. <br />For the trinket items staff tried to come up with ideas that kids and possibly adults may get more than a <br />one-time use of, but remained on the cheaper side for pricing. Staff with the help of Mayor Keis <br />narrowed it down to two promotional items to consider: a frisbee or a small flashlight. Both of these <br />seemed to be the best value and had potential for reuse. We can order either item in a variety of colors, <br />but the logo that would be printed needs to be the same on all. The prices below are per item with one <br />color imprinting. There would also be an additional one time set up charge of roughly $50.00 on either <br />promotional item. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 250 500 1000 2500 <br />Flashlight $1.58 $1.48 $1.40 $1.35 <br />Frisbee $1.28 $1.18 $1.08 $0.99
