Interesting and topically convenient fact for you: I’m one-quarter Irish! Now, normally I don’t do much with my heritage other than enjoy better-than-average luck and the ability to eat potatoes with everything (cereal, birthday cake, dirt, whatever), but today I’m going to put my ¼ green blood to use: Today we are going to talk Saint Patrick’s Day promotions, i.e., the pot of gold at the end of the green-beer, bar- and 20-something fueled rainbow.
1. Felt St. Patrick’s Tall Hat from Jacobson Hat
Saint Patrick’s Day is all about parties, and if your party doesn’t have fun hats, it’s pretty much the worst. Don’t be the worst. Get some fun hats from someplace like Jacobson Hat and watch as your bar/restaurant client’s party goes from zero to “OH MY GOD WE’RE WEARING FUNNY HATS??? TIME TO BUY ALL THE BEERSSSSSSS!!!”
2. 16 oz. Pint Glass from Moderne Glass Co.
Pint glasses: These should be your foul shot, your extra point, your can’t-miss putt. They’re already an amazing promotional item (seriously, who doesn’t appreciate a nice pint glass?), but combined with a holiday that’s more-or-less dedicated to drinking pints of things, selling these should be like getting money to spontaneously manifest from thin air.
3. Shamrock Beads from WOWline

That’s it for this week guys. Thanks for reading, and see you all next week!

MONDAY MIKE FACT: In a vaguely related coincidence, I had some Irish potatoes over the weekend. (Those weird coconut, cream cheese and cinnamon flavor-balls you eat once maybe every two years?) I also had about 4,000 Girl Scout cookies, which is less a vague coincidence and more, “If you put Girl Scout cookies in front of me, I’m going to eat all of them.”
