Almost 20 years ago, Promotional Partners was an idea, a dream, but not a reality. We never forget that without you, there is no Promotional Partners. Beyond the logo on the bag, it's what's inside that matters. A brand is not a logo, it's how others feel about your brand; their experience. October 5-9 is National Customer Service Appreciation Week. Adding extra value, that's the Promotional Partners way. Recently Lauren Cerretti with WithersRavenel, shared this testimonial.

In May 2007 Promotional Partners incorporated. In 2008 an ambassador of the Apex Chamber of Commerce suggested we join. Fun fact- that's Wes Moyer, in the left corner of the photo. Like me, he's a current chamber member and former ambassador member and former Apex Chamber Ambassador. That's our team of 3 celebrating our first ribbon cutting after we moved to Downtown Apex in the fall of 2008. Fast forward, that's me, Wes and Chris; both Modern Woodman, at a recent Apex Chamb

A sense of belonging is an abstract concept, yet we know when we're part of a family, community and team. We feel the connection. I respond to genuine stories and authentic actions. A strong sense of belonging motivates others towards actionable goals. Social groups form through routine and collective experiences in the spaces we gather, which builds stronger communities. Neighbors help neighbors and care about what's happening in their life. Connection uplifts. Connection is

Confidence grows inside you based on your experiences. Certification is another one of our 4 core values, because knowledge is essential to personal growth. Professional development improves your individual skillsets and builds stronger teams. That's why our entire team is certified and continues to build on certification levels. Pursing certifications grows confidence and keeps us competitive as a partner and a team. Like athletics, pursuing knowledge & mentoring is a form o

I'm a curious creative, who thrives on communication, which is one of the many reasons I make time for talking! Teams run smoother with cooperation. I prefer consensus and commitment from all stakeholders when working through a challenge. Making time for talking fills my brain with stories, which turn into ideas, that turn into projects. Connecting with others makes us feel human. Collaboration brings people together, which is why collaboration is another one of our 4 core va

The answer is, yes! Creativity is one of our 4 core values and guiding principals. Years of watching children approach projects in classroom reinforced for me that either a student dives into an art project with the enthusiasm to explore, a concreate idea or a resilient spirit. Resilience of the mind & spirt is also the flexibility factor necessary to see different angles, elaborate on ideas and be totally okay with failure. Cognitive control harness productivity and efficien

Almost twenty years ago Promotional Partners was an idea, not a brand. Transforming an idea into action is similar to gardening. Planting the seed and watching it grow requires taking the necessary steps to cultivate that seed through time, attention and resources. However, one of the most important decisions an entrepreneur makes is defining the values behind the brand. This image of our values prominently displayed at the entrance of our business. This action matters! Befo

Professionalism is not just a word, it comes from an internal motivation to go above and beyond to exceed expectations. Knowledge is powerful. Promotional Partners was rooted by an educator, me, so it was a natural progression in scaling the company to prioritize professional development opportunities. Internally our team is provided time , within our workday, in pursuit of continuous professional development. Career development is about skill stacking that adds value as well

The heart behind our brand is often an unseen aspect of our business. 2027 will mark our 20th year in business. Behind our brand is a heartbeat. Our Promotional Partners Cares Program includes our philanthropy, leadership, service, mentorship and how we select industry partners. Since 2007, we've been intentional with our time & resources. We've served the local community in ways that uplift and invested our resources into organizations making a di

The secret behind creating an experience is THE DETAILS. A box, nicely wrapped, with custom paper that features your logo, your message, your destination, your reason for gifting creates a lasting impression. Take time to acknowledge and visually delight. Capture the why and story behind the milestone moment, how you're the best place to work, celebrate a shared experience or simply to acknowledge all the donors that made a difference.

My steering wheel!! Extreme heat and bright sun have made the black leather interior of my car and my steering wheel an enemy. At the end of each day, I can barely grab the surface. I could continue to suffer or put in a sun shade. Buying a sunshade is not really how I want to spend money- so, if a savvy marketer gave me an option. I would use it. If you car stays parked in a lot all day- that's PRIME real estate. It's a huge full color surface to market or advertising any in
