Branded Water Coolers

Just as everything is now branded with a company's logo for publicity, water coolers in Europe can also be branded with a companies logo. Now, instead of just having pens and post-it with your employers logo, you can now have a water cooler with your image as well!

At first, the Cooler Girl wasn't sure about these. but then I took it out of the office context and put it in my home. Now, as much as I love my stainless steel cooler, a cooler with a french country scene would be kinda cool and would fit in with my decor. What about a farmhouse scene if you were into country motif or an apple theme if you couldn't live with the fruit. It maybe hokie, but it may be kinda cool.

Possibilities could be endless. Cooler Girl gives his cool invention a 2 thumbs up! Primo Water- can we get one of these into production so I don't have to order one from Europe!

Water Cooler Importance

The Cooler Girl couldn't say it any better (except that i would've had a better lead in the first paragraph) so I let someone else do the talking. They do need some "cooler" looking water coolers on their website. Maybe Primo Water will give them some to giveaway as well.

The Cooler Girl Does Love Giveaways

Have I told you that The Cooler Girl does love a good giveaway. I just found this great website www.makesmomhappy.com because I am a mom, I like to be happy and I love to win stuff! So this was one that I was all over. When going through all of the giveaways, I found out that they were giving away a Primo Water water cooler How cool is that AND you get to pick your style!

She has a bottom load cooler like mine and she loves it as well so I would highly suggest picking that one out if you win. It is great because you don't have to lift the water bottles and it is sleek and stylish in my kitchen.

The giveaway has been extended until January 31, so enter now!!!!!

And I have Found Another One!

The Cooler Girl has found another group that is just as into coolers as she is. The blog address is http://breakfree411.blogspot.com. They talk about waste reduction due to water cooler usage, pending legislation, and everything else political, legislative and boring (but necessary) that The Cooler Girl doesn't care that much about. I am more interested in the fashion, functional and "cool" side of water coolers. But we are all in this water cooler crusade together and they did have a post earlier this month that caught my eye.

Apparently Rachel Zoe has a Primo Water Cooler in her office (as does Biggest Loser Danny Cahill does in his home). How cool is that! Now, I was a little miffed that breakfree411 scooped me on the Hollywood celebrities and reality stars that are water cooler loyalists (I am a loyal subscriber to People Magazine ya know). I will forgive them and maybe even try to scoop them on a legislative story because all is fair in love and war.

My only advice to breakfree411. Please use OMG and do not spell out "Oh My God." That's what true celebrity insiders do.

I'm back and Coolers are in the news!

Ok, The Cooler Girl has been MIA, but I have been deep undercover looking at all things water coolers and have some insights as we look into 2010.

First, New Year's is right around the corner and you need to make a resoultion to start drinking more water. What is the best way to do this? By having a water cooler of course! So get out there. Get Your Cooler. Start Drinking More Water.

Second, Champagne Living (I love this name. I feel like I should be on a boat and in an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with Robin Leach, but that is another story) is a die-hard water cooler lover as well. They have teamed up with Primo Water and are offering discounts on their water coolers. Check out the link and save yourself some money! http://www.champagneliving.net/2009/12/happy-holidays-from-primo.html. I am all about their offer! Also, there is video as to how easy it is to load a bottle. This is the same cooler that we have in our home!

Cheers and here's to a water cooler lifestyle in 2010!

Check this out!

Ok, the Cooler Girl has found an amazing invention that I have to share. This the ultimate cooler for humans AND our 4-legged friends. It is called the HduO - Water Dispenser ($230) and is the world's first home watercooler designed to dispense pure drinking water for both people and pets! No need to worry about forgetting to fill those water bowls again!

Dakota loves Primo Water and I could get rid of her water bowl with this new little invention!

According to the product details, this innovative water dispenser hosts an array of sensors to dispense water both to a built-in pet bowl at the base of the unit and hot, cold and room temperature water to the top for humans. These sensors allow the removable bowl to be refilled automatically without overfilling it and it can even detect when the bowl is not correctly aligned. Other unique features include safety functions to protect both children and pets, independent control of human and pet dispensers and a dedicated water line to the pet bowl to eliminate backfill. It's a great solution for pet owners who want a little peace-of-mind that their furry friends always have clean, cold water to drink at home or makes an interesting addition to the breakroom of offices that alllow dogs to come to work.

It is too cool!

The New Water Cooler

I read some articles over the past week about the new water cooler. Instead of one that can be found in homes and offices, like the Primo water cooler, it was a virtual water cooler called Facebook or Twitter. The thought is that information shared in these mediums is similar to the information that you share with the others around a physical water cooler and it is the next generation.

I must admit, I am a loyal Facebook user, but haven't completely caught onto the Twitter phenomenon. While these mediums do provide a great service, I still like the personal social aspect of hanging out with my colleagues at the "physical" water cooler talking. While this might seem old-fashioned to some (just like the fact I read newspapers), I believe there is a great benefit to an organization when people walk around and actually talk to their colleagues and not just send them emails. Things don't get lost in translation. Feelings don't get hurt. People get to know each other and actually care about one another. Companies are more profitable because of the good work environment.

So, don't always rely on your virtual water cooler, but use the real one as well.
