Applicants for jobs in the medical field have been plentiful for the past several years. So much so that healthcare recruiters reported wading through hundreds - even thousands - of applications for certain positions. That's about to change. In the years to come, 32 million Americans who do not currently have health insurance will receive it ...

Here's where things get stretchy. This is a continuation of another post (if you couldn't tell from the part two in the title). While in the first part it seemed pretty easy to make things fit, as the song goes on and the quantities of stuff increase, we had to get a little bit creative. We have oodles of products at ADVANCE Custom Promotions, ...

Why are there so many birds? This started out as a spinoff of another post, and snowballed into something too big for my brain to comprehend. I've done geometry for the first time since the SATs. I've crunched numbers, multiplying and dividing. I've hunted through the website and called in favors from others. And what do you get out of it? ...

Cheese: We Haz It. Here at ADVANCE, we're at times into cheese. Not the fancy French kind, or the plastic American kind, but the funny, descriptive kind. Last week, a marketing coordinator here sent me a very cheesy marketing page, and we giggled at silly slogans. After overdosing on leftover Halloween candy - specifically Gobstoppers and ...

Oh noes. It's coming. This morning in a meeting, I heard those words for the first time in 2010: ''Black Friday.'' Eep. It's really not that far away. Stores already have their holiday season wares out, and I've already slipped into the mode of convincing myself I'll shop early this year (I will. Yes, I will.). With Black Friday comes the full ...

Pointy. Sometimes, much like a wedding DJ, I get requests. Instead of requests to play ''Celebration'' or ''The Chicken Dance,'' the requests that come to me are more along the lines of write about this product, or write about this other product. Each time, except in the cases where I was truly baffled on what to write, I do indulge these ...

Phuggs? Phor real? Here outside of Philadelphia, our baseball team sometimes toys with our emotions. After the loss the other night putting our beloved Phightins down three games to one, we felt bitter defeat and hopelessness. After the game last night, however, our spirits our high and we once again are assured the Phillies will capture the ...

Clean hands can be fun. I have a shocking admission. While we constantly get awesome products added to the ADVANCE Custom Promotions website, sometimes I have a wee little problem. It's not writer's block, really. It's more like hand sanitizer burnout. We love promotional hand sanitizers here at ADVANCE. I mean, what's not to love? They come in ...

These real estate promotional giveaways are just right. Blogger's Note: This is a guest post written by Vicki Laughead, our search specialist here at ADVANCE. About two years ago, I was the going through the ''Goldilocks'' syndrome of looking for the perfect home. During my house hunting adventures, I encountered houses that were significantly ...

Celebrate quality education in public schools. Each year in November, American Education Week celebrates every child's right to a quality public education. This year, Nov. 14-20, five days of themed events are planned with everything from celebrating substitute teachers to open houses allowing the community to see public education in ...
