Koozies – the perfect priced party favor.

Based on research in the last 8 months it seems that the koozie is the one item that is still a valuable party favor.  There are a number of higher priced items that are being let go, but a Koozie at between .65 and $1.20 depending on quantity and style seems to hit the “sweet spot” for most consumers.

Obama says we have to cut back, well we will cut back in some capacity, but we still need to have a little fun.  So the cut back is in the high dollar extras.  A koozie is a low dollar, yet long lasting extra.  It is a party favor that can be used at the event, and taken home as a reminder of the good time,  and guests will remember it for next years party.

It is truly fun to be part of this business.

Koozies – good fit or not!

This comes from the Futon Report – make no mistake about it.  Thanks for the writing.

FUTON REPORT: Rockets’ free koozies escalate “war on 20-ounces”
Written by Matt Sussman | | news@toledofreepress.com

At first I thought it was just a mere misunderstanding when I wrote last weekend that the 20-ounce bottles sold at Savage Arena don’t quite fit in the armrests. But it appears I was mistaken.  (It is important to keep up with these things.)  After attending UT’s win over Eastern Michigan on Saturday, I really have to wonder if the Rockets care at all about the ease and comfort of 20-ounce bottles in their arena.

As fans approached the turnstiles Saturday they were handed little blue- and gold-colored drink koozies in the shape of what appear to be cheerleader outfits. They’re adorable, yes. But the real question is: do they fit a 20-ounce bottle? It’s a tight fit, but let’s just say O.J. Simpson’s lawyer would probably move for acquittal. It seems more designed for certain slimmer water bottles and alcoholic beverages which are not sold at Savage.

And here’s something more mildly disturbing. The 20-ounce fits in so snugly, the cheerleader outfit appears to be featuring a couple of … um, let’s just say if you stare at them too long, you’ll get slapped. Know what this means? Even though the inside tag reads “MADE IN CHINA,” it’s entirely possible that perverts were involved in the design.

Nevertheless, the Rocket koozie — which has no bottom — serves its purpose in keeping one’s hand safe from slightly cold sensations while drinking from containers that hold 19 ounces or less. It also functions as a great way to spruce up your conversation, provided you’re talking to a claims adjuster. Or a cameo star of “To Catch A Predator.
