Why Travel Duffels Are Perfect For Weekend Trips?

Posted on by

Packing may not be one of your favorite activities, but if you like travelling, then this is the price you will have to pay! There is no way one could enjoy a trip or a vacation without packing.

Thus, whether you want it or not you will have to get your bags out of your storage place or even buy some new ones and start planning how are going to fit in all the things you need to take with you. If this is going to be only a short trip, the why not go for travel duffels?

Travel duffels are great for short trips as they can accommodate a large variety of items in just one bag. No matter if you have a leather, fabric or polyester duffel, you will see it has plenty of pockets.

Having lots of pockets means you can safely place your belongings, so that they do not mix. This way you will find it easier to sort your luggage and find a place for each and every item.

They are not too large, so that you will have extra space when packing for the weekend trip, but they are quite spacious to accommodate the things you will need for a two or three days trip so they clearly make the best choice when it comes to storing your luggage for short trips.

The next advantage travel duffels have over suitcases or other types of bags is that they are very easy to carry. Choose a rolling duffel and you will have plenty of ways to carry it. You can roll it after you, you can grab it by the medium handles or you can simply put it on your shoulder if it is easier for you this way.

You can not ignore the fact that travel duffels have become more and more attractive lately. They are available in different materials, colors and even shapes.

With colorful appearances, stylish patterns, lots of funny pockets and rounded edges, there is no way you will not attract attention with your travel duffel, so prepare to make sensation even when you are travelling.

What it is even more interesting is the fact that you can adapt it to your style and preferences, so you can say “Good Bye” to the old black or brown duffels and choose whatever color or pattern crosses your mind!

Travel Duffels are by far the best solution when it comes to choosing a bag that can accommodate your luggage for two or three days. If you do not have one in your home make sure you purchase one on the next occasion! With such an easy way to pack you will want to leave on a trip each and every day!

Protect Your Golf Clubs – How to Choose the Right Golf Travel Bag

Posted on by

It’s off-season for many golfers in the northern states of the US. Time to take a break from those early morning tee times and take time to do some “in-door” golf, i.e. at computer-generated golf courses or with a temporary indoor putting green in the middle of the living room.

For those golfers determined to play all year round and are traveling south to warmer climes, a golf travel bag becomes a necessary purchase. Whether you are traveling by plane or train, your golf clubs need protection. (A few years ago, traveling to Hilton Head for golf, one of the women in our group had the head of her very expensive driver snapped off when a careless baggage handler tossed her golf travel bag onto the tarmac. The airline gave her some monetary compensation, but as the driver was not brand new, the amount was not equal to the cost of replacement. – That’s another story.) The point is that your clubs represent a large investment and they need to be protected when you travel.

So which bag is best? Hard case? Soft case? Your choice might depend on how much you travel with your golf clubs, how much extra space you need for shoes, balls, towels, etc. (I stuff all kinds of extra stuff in my bag, including my bed pillow! which helps give a little extra padding. And with the airlines charging you extra for that second bag anyway, why not stuff the golf travel bag with clothes as well?)

Here are a few types of travel bags you might consider using on your next golf trip.

Heavy Duty Soft Bag: This style is used by more touring professionals on the PGA, Champions, and LPGA tours – choose a bag with wheels that makes it easy to maneuver. Check to be sure the padding is extra thick to protect your clubs and choose a bag that has lots of extra pockets with solid zippers so you can carry all those “extra” items.

Hybrid Bag: This type of bag can be used both the golf course and while traveling. Look for one that offers all the features of a cart bag, and has a rigid “helmet” you can add when you take it on the road. Choose a bag with in-line wheels for an easier time crossing those long airport lobbies.

Hi-Impact Polyester Travel Bag: This type of bag has a cloth cover but should be reinforced with some interior lamination, usually using PVC. Soft sides should be well padded. Quilted material is best. And be sure to test the bag strap for easy carrying and the wheels for a smooth glide.

The bottom line in deciding which type of golf travel bag you purchase depends on the amount of traveling you plan on doing, how much protection you need, and the value of your clubs. Soft cases with lots of padding are lighter, and easier to handle, and they protect your clubs in most circumstances. Hard cases are usually heavier but promise better protection, though they can snap open unless you add strapping for security. Almost every travel case can fit 14 clubs plus your golf bag, but if you have an extra long driver, be sure the length of the travel bag can accommodate it. You don’t want to leave that special club at home!

Ask your golfing friends. Visit a variety of websites to see what they offer. But remember, you get what you pay for. Do you really want to put your thousand dollar clubs inside a $29 bag you bought at the local Big Lots?

Designer Displays: Memo and Menu Clips for Restaurants

Posted on by

I’m sure I can’t be the only person out there who’s done this at a restaurant. After the meal’s been ordered but before the appetizers have arrived, even if the company is scintillating and your drink is delicious, you’ll still end up having a peek at the drinks menu resting at the head of the table, or reading over the little card with the daily specials in its specific holder. It’s okay, we’ve all done it. And frankly, it’s a brilliant bit of marketing on the part of the restaurants. You’ve got a captive audience that’s come specifically to you for a meal. There is any number of tools out there that give you the ability to place these temporary menus and other informational billets right on the table by your customers. Some are quite utilitarian, while others have a bit more flash to them. Today’s article is about the memo clips that fall into the second category. There are hundreds of varieties of table tents (the general name for these small tabletop displays) on the market today, so you’ve got options no matter what. But if you’re looking for a tool that’s going to be fun as well as practical, however, keep reading to learn a little more about memo clips for restaurants.

On the whole, memo clips have a bit more of a delicate appearance than a typical table tent or flip chart menu holder. Don’t let that turn you off of them, as these little stands are quite sturdy. Most memo clips use metal rods and posts to keep the page supported in conjunction with a metal or resin base. A good memo clip will make sure this base is proportionally weighty to keep it upright even when holding sheets of thicker paper. Thicker paper is actually recommended for use with memo clips to make sure your menu doesn’t go all floppy and fall over. If you’re looking for a memo clip that, while still modern and fun, will place customer attention firmly on the menu cards, then a basic memo clip might be what you need.

Basic memo clips do tend towards simpler designs, usually featuring a solid base without any extra ornamentation on there. Chances are, it’ll have a matte black or silver finish as those are the most neutral colors out there when it comes to these display products. The heights of the clips may vary, which gives people looking to pick some up the ability to choose the basic stand that does work best for their restaurants. If there are any details worked into the construction of this style of memo clip it’ll be something simple, such as a curved neck or an extra loop to hold an additional sheet of paper. Whether they’ve got coiled paper holders or alligator clip holders, the memo clip will be able to easily support a menu card that’s hard for customers to miss.

There’s a specific subset of basic memo holders that resemble small metal domes with a clip on top. These are the types you’ll see at more upscale establishments – actually, you’ll spot them most of all at wedding banquets and similar parties, but they do work equally as well at nicer restaurants. If there are details worked into the metal construction they’re small ones, usually a bit of decorative trim around the edges of the dome. They won’t have the height variation that the other basic models do either, but this makes them particularly good for anyone looking for a discreet and elegant menu display to subtly perch itself in the corner of a table.

Now, we come to the fun styles. All right, I’ll admit that these styles may not work for every restaurant out there, but these are the ones that I find to be the most visually appealing overall. Maybe I’m just a sap for anything colorful. The clips that directly support menus and other cards with these decorative models are very similar to the basic ones. The alligator clamp is identical, while the coil holders may have a more unique shape than just a circle for a little extra touch that can highlight your paper, especially if the symbol relates back to your restaurant’s décor somehow. These designer models are also where you’ll find the resin bases. Because the resin can be sculpted and colored, you end up with bases that are star-shaped, ovals, cubes and other geometric designs that can be found in plenty of different colors. These factors help make sure that the memo clip stands out well and gets attention, bringing the customers over to really take a look at both the stand and the card it’s holding.

Because we’re talking about using these memo clips in a business situation, I do feel like I need to bring up some general ideas about the price. Luckily, they’re not expensive. In fact, they’re downright cheap. If you’re interested in ordering some online, I’d advise you to look for bulk packs where you can get twenty-five to fifty in one package. The price runs to coins on the dollar, and you’ll be able to set up a menu card on every table in your establishment for probably the equivalent of a tank of gas (and they’ll last longer than that tank of gas too, at least the way I drive).

Sometimes it’s the little details that really make the experience for your customers. While they’ve come to your place for the food, the overall package from the décor to the wallpaper and the customer service will keep them coming back for more. Memo clips allow you to bring that little extra touch that keeps your customers in the loop with the daily specials that they’ll always appreciate.
