Marketing and Promotional products carefully selected to meet a client's needs with respect employees and their clients...ie...retention, recruitment, tradeshows, recognition
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Came to Tampa for Broadcasting. Helped run 95YNF in the early-mid '80s. Radio was changing...not for the better. This was a natural extension and outlet for my creativity.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Creative ideas, quality products, always on time and on budget....but always from suppliers I've researched to be using safe materials. Nobody else can say that.
Additionally, as the former Chairman of the Promotional Products Association International, my many contacts and relationships bring me most of the new products first!
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Just Tampa...and no...no expansion. Focused on my core with room to expand with the right client.
