Dear Valued Client,
Promotional Partners has built a reputation of collaboration and trust with our clients. Partners with
our company know that our creativity drives focused objectives on strategic product selections that
showcase their brand message effectively.
If you want creative campaigns, you have to start at a creative place. The ability to properly capture
a message in a promotional product begins with understanding how a product becomes a message.
Addressing how your target audience wants to receive information and adapting branding into a
layering of advertising mediums that are print, content and image rich directed at your specific
audience will shape the outcome. Developing a collaborative relationship with a certified advertising
specialist (CAS) lead team insures that you’re partnering with knowledgeable advisors who will
effectively guide the selection process. Your promotions should fit like a glove. A CAS lead team will
suggest promotional items that will receive impact, while providing education for building a strong
promotional campaign. Read more about our CAS certification and other notables in our press release
tab on the website.
One can buy a promotional product anywhere, even the internet, but is it the correct product for your
campaign? Release your imagination this year at a place where your message is conveyed in
products and those products advertise your message effectively. Promotional Partners is known as a
place where ideas get results!
Sincerely,
Olivia Scott
Owner, Promotional Partners
