Who is Promotional Partners?   If you think we’re a company that just sells promotional products, you’re missing the true value behind our partnership.     Sure, we sell promotional products.   However, our partnership advantage lies in our commitment to invest in the story and identity of your brand.  The words visionary assurance and united purpose represent more than our tagline. Instead, these words define the essence of our relationship.   75% of our clients have been partners for over a decade, some for two.   Jetting towards two decades operating in a creative space, our core values of creativity, collaboration, certification and community continue to be the guiding principles and framework behind our brand.     Rooted in public education, and a mother of two, it’s natural for our founder, Olivia, to invest in developing others over self. Choosing to never monetize our marketing & creative talents was intentional; instead, we saturate our collaborations by sharing our treasures freely and liberally with our clients. Does offering two of our strongest assets at no charge diminish the value? It hardly strengthens our partnership.   Is every service we offer free? No, we are a business.   We offer and charge for our graphic design services. However, true to our core; we still offer some of our graphic design services for free. Which services? Become a partner, you’ll find out which ones!   Each time a client visits our showroom and design studio, it’s obvious our graphic designers possess specialized skill sets. Sure, there are fun tools like Canva and even AI for generating graphics, but true designers communicate emotions, stories and target your message to your intended audience through their craft.     When a comedian riffs off a moment then makes you roll with laughter or artist crafts a visual that makes you pause to reflect, or a musical performance draws a tear, you’ve experienced a master at work. Genuine creativity is not contrived and can’t be harnessed; it’s intrinsic and it should be shared unselfishly.   There’s a reason our testimonials , case studies on our website and in the blog , along with our reviews consistently include the word creativity.   When the canvas is blank and the shape has not been formed, our creativity shines.   By remaining immersed in our industry, acquiring more skillsets, meeting routinely with key industry partners and maintaining our certifications our team is sharp and relevant.

It never grows old seeing our partnerships play out in social media, experiencing the promotion during an events or even as we travel around the triangle and state watching a recipient enjoy using their promotional product. Partnership is about lending our talents, experience and skillsets to your expert team.   Partners support each other, they listen, communicate and are equally invested.   By intent our website is not an e-commerce platform for loading products and checking out; that’s transactional. The benefit of our suite of services is a distinct advantage to each partner, regardless of their size. As holistic marketing professionals we continue to share our award-winning assets, spanning an array of value-added services which include social media savvy, marketing strategy, creating experience-based events, logistical planning, and graphic design.   What’s the secret behind our brand?   The wealth behind our brand manifests in our partners’ inability to discern the moment another value will unexpectedly be woven into our collaboration; that seamless magic is The Partner Experience. We aim to make an impression that lingers. We invite you to discover the story behind our brand. Through each of our Partner Advantage stories we’ll reveal The Partner Experience. Spoiler alert, we also might make you laugh. Our work is serious, but professionalism doesn’t negate fun; we’re authentically ourselves.

Classic pairings! When it comes to business, relationships forge new relationships.

It's a business friendly community, with an active and rapidly growing chamber of commerce. It's also a wonderful location to find your forever home to raise a family. As former board chair, 2020, of the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce , it's exciting to see the continued growth and business thriving among the membership. Shown here the new 2020 board members posed for a group photo. Serving together formed friendships that continue today. Community service & leadership roles are a great way to get to know your neighbors. In 2020, it was extremely value to have the insights of our larger business partners like Bob Barker, John Deere, UNC and Campbell University to share best practices & strategies they were implementing to keep their teams safe. Connections also share knowledge. Thanks to technology and transportation, the modern business landscape does not limit your choices for goods, services, retail and restaurant to one specific municipality. In fact, the popularity of food trucks for pop up events, delivery services, e-commerce sales platforms and the accessibility of our area with the completion of the 540 loop, is driving business everywhere! Commerce is booming among the members in Southwest Wake, Harnett County, and Raleigh. The heart of the community is always the people. People make connections and create stories. I invite you to listen or watch our conversation and of course, to attend an upcoming chamber of commerce event. #BetterTogether
