  • Marketing the Science of a Stress Ball

    by Nina Vultaggio
    The truth is the stress ball has been used by people for a very long time. The stress balls of today are a bit more 'flashy' and go beyond the simple skill of alleviating stress. If you have a product that promotes the reduction of stress, and the increase in positive hand-mechanics then you have a giveaway that is going to be popular with customers. Even better, is the fact that contrary to earlier belief, a stress ball doesn't even need to be round to be effective. Any shape will do! Don't be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to using a stress ball for your next promotional product.
