LaserGifts® Shakes Up Souvenir Industry with Launch of Solar-Powered Keepsake in Motion
Prescott, AZ (PRWEB) March 29, 2017 -- LaserGifts®, a souvenir and gift manufacturer specializing in personalized name programs, announced that retailers across the country have committed to a record number of floor display placements of The Swing Thing™ program. Store owners and buyers from all retail formats purchased the revolutionary name program including gift stores, souvenir destinations, amusement and water parks, and outdoor attractions near national and state parks. Early sales results from the field indicate that consumers also love this innovative souvenir, with retail locations selling an average of 17 pieces per day in off-season.
“It’s always been a major dream of mine to bring a novelty to market that never stops moving and never needs batteries. I knew from the past success of our solar powered keychain that consumers are attracted to fun items that blink, move, or catch your attention in some way,” said David Mudrick, Founder and CEO. “The product development team has been working on this concept for over two years, so it’s exciting to see that customers love the product as much as I do. We all can’t wait to see how The Swing Thing™ performs once tourist season begins in the summer.”
The Swing Thing™ is a captivating desk accessory where your name is propelled back and forth by solar powered energy. A colorful label decorates the base of the product which features the travel destination where the souvenir is purchased.
With the launch of The Swing Thing™, LaserGifts® evolved the solar powered technology that produced its’ line of solar super sellers – the solar powered keychain, the solar powered zipper pull, and the solar powered carabiner. The Swing Thing™ utilizes an electrical processor that converts the power of light energy into a tiny electromagnet that keeps the emblem swinging.
