If someone asked you to pick a color that you most associate with October, what would you say? Chances are that you would probably pick a fall color—most likely orange, since that is the color of pumpkins and falling leaves—but there is another color you should think of when October rolls around…PINK!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Worldwide, breast cancer comprises 22.9% (excluding non-melanoma forms of skin cancer) in women. Even though more and more women have beaten the disease, prevention and early detection remain the best ways to fight it, which is what Breast Cancer Awareness Month aims to achieve.

Here are 7 products that you can use to encourage mammograms and screenings around your office, to your clients, or among your employees during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
