Several years ago, I was approached by Bruce Falkins of Falkins Advertising Specialties supplier of Kelowna promotional products. Although not convinced of the value of “giveaway” products, I agreed to purchase some magnets and key chains, as well as a seemingly endless array of pens. I was pleasantly surprised from the reaction and gratitude that, my customers expressed.
After a couple of years, I decided to try, on my Bruce Falkins suggestion, a lanyard style keychain, with my company name and phone number. My phone number was to be prominent, in that it was easy to remember number. (707-0700)
It was suggested, that I put every customers keys on one of these lanyards. The results were amazing. The bright red lanyard, prominently displaying my phone number, was on every one of my customer’s key sets. Customers asked for a spare, for their kids keys, or the cabin keys, etc. etc.. I was so pleased we ordered a second colour of lanyard. The cost to have my company phone number, in every customer’s car was insignificant.
This program is far cheaper than newspaper advertising, and keeps my phone number , literally on hand, on a permanent basis. It is amazingly cost effective, and has actually reduced my monthly advertising budget.
We have since progressed to a greater variety of items, all prominently displaying 707-0700, included coffee mugs, golf tees and shoe bags, wall clocks, premium quality pens and knives plus many others.

I believe in using promotional products and have found Falkins Advertising to be the “Best of the Okanagan”. I have known and used Bruce Falkins’ services for many years and have ordered pens, shirts, vests, travel mugs and he has even custom stitched my logo onto some of my own products.
Bruce has always been prompt for appointments, fair with his pricing and reliable, always delivering what was promised and ordered. I appreciate and look forward to his new product emails and newsletter that he sends out monthly.

We have had the pleasure of getting to know Bruce Falkins socially over the past 10 years through the Rotary, and various other business transactions. We have always found him to be straight forward, pleasant, honest and punctual. We have no hesitation in recommending him to friends and business associates in need of promotional products.

As Finance Manager at the Kelowna Women’s Shelter, I am always searching for affordable, effective ways to inform our community of the impacts of family violence. As well, I want to let people know how our services can empower women to make positive changes. At our first meeting, Bruce readily understood our goals and our challenges.......Bruce’s optimism is contagious. His belief in the strength and resilience of the individual person and his concerns for our community are closely aligned with the vision of our society.
