09/12/07

Thumball™ has been creating a sensation in New Jersey since it was launched a few months ago. While its use as a game with children and grown-ups is immediately obvious, savvy business owners and industry leaders are catching on to its corporate benefits.

Thumball™ transforms the ball, a toy everyone knows and loves, into a unique tool for corporate communications and is a fantastic way to stimulate creativity, develop thinking skills, and promote team building in a fun and novel way.

Thumball™’s customizable design and use in getting people talking is the reason it is now successful in new avatars such as corporate training tools, unique promotional give-aways and in special events. Big names such as Bayer Healthcare, BabyCrazy, TIAA-CREF and ASM Group are already fans, visit www.thumball.com for more information.

Quote from BabyCrazy:
“We played Thumball at our Convention with the reps as the very first thing—they loved it. One rep who received a Thumball used it last weekend at a home party, and everyone at the party wants to order one!   If I had known that, I may have ordered more!” -Lee Fritts, BabyCrazy

      The tradition began in 1937 when several of the state's top business executives took a train to Washington to have dinner with New Jersey's congressional delegation. The rest is history. The Walk to Washington obtained its name when participants realized that few sit on the train; they literally walk the train mingling and exchanging business cards the whole way to Washington.
