Cool Specialty Products
For the car – It can get so hot that seats and steering wheels can burn hands and bottoms. Branded steering wheel and seat covers will be appreciated. Windshield covers are a big hit with plenty of space for your company name and logo.
At the office – Promotional desktop fans are hot…I mean cool. Branded clothing designed to breathe and wick and not stick is a win-win-win.
Water water everywhere – Battery powered water spray cooling fans, water bottles, and branded sports drink containers are welcome sights for hot and thirsty customers. Water guns are always fun—when you’re the one with the gun.
Just for fun – Custom Ice cube trays, flashy sunglasses, and silly summer hats can cool, shade, and cover. And speaking of shade, how about giving away branded shade umbrellas?
We’re going to get Serious for a Moment
Every year thousand of Americans suffer heat stroke. Knowing the signs and what to do can relieve the symptoms and save lives.
What is Heat Exhaustion?
The following is from Web MD
The most common signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
- Confusion
- Dark-colored urine (a sign of dehydration)
- Dizziness
- Fainting
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Muscle or abdominal cramps
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Pale skin
- Profuse sweating

Treatment for Heat Exhaustion
If you, or anyone else, have symptoms of heat exhaustion, it’s essential to immediately get out of the heat and rest, preferably in an air-conditioned room. If you can’t get inside, try to find the nearest cool and shady place.
Other recommended strategies include:
- Drink plenty of fluid (avoid caffeine and alcohol).
- Remove any tight or unnecessary clothing.
- Take a cool shower, bath, or sponge bath.
- Apply other cooling measures such as fans or ice towels.
If such measures fail to provide relief within 15 minutes, seek emergency medical help, because untreated heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke.
