Thumball

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
