The Canada-made item features Bluetooth 5.0 technology, 15 hours of playback on a charge, music controls, LED indicators for battery and Bluetooth status and a built-in microphone for hands-free calls. Both the product and the packaging can be digitally printed in full color.
“The unexpected exposure was very gratifying,” says Anthony DiRienzo, national sales manager at Powerstick.com. “This opportunity really showcased how far we’ve come as a company, starting with solely chargers and now having one of our speakers named a top gift among Google and Apple products. It’s the ultimate testimonial.”
