INTRODUCTION

Committed TO THE

ATHLETIC MARKETPLACE

D

irect marketing is constantly evolving. Our 30+ years in the industry has taught us one very important thing. The message and creative strategy that worked last week will not always work next week. It certainly will not work for the next client or industry. Successful marketing requires hard work, and plenty of thought–equity.

We understand the correlation between effort and results. Our approach to every direct marketing challenge is a perfect blend of the empirical (learn from the past), the theoretical (embracing trends) and the pragmatic (it just makes sense). DME is a leader in the industry because we deliver consistent results—consistently!

The company—DME is a nationally recognized and innovative leader in the direct marketing industry.

Our persistence and constant need to succeed on behalf of our clients keeps us well out in front of our closest competitors.

We are a direct manufacturer and distributor of all of our products and programs which can provide you and your organization with significant cost savings.

We are the leading provider of direct marketing campaigns and gift solutions for season ticket holders. We develop effective merchandising and marketing programs that help each of our partners to monetize the full value of their brand. Our aggressive efforts to drive our marketing programs have consistently delivered sales growth for our partners that far exceed industry benchmarks.

INTRODUCTION DME HEADQUARTERS DME’s eleven–acre main complex is centrally located in Daytona Beach, Florida. We provide end–to–end direct marketing services from a single location. Everything from strategy through production and fulfillment takes place on–site at our Daytona Beach facility.

GO GAMEDAY

GoGameday is a division of DME Delivers and was set in motion over 30 years ago when we decided to start providing recognition gifts to college conferences and professional organizations. Over the years, we have grown to specialize in premium gift programs and suite gift programs.

We also provide general branded merchandise for meetings, VIPs and tournaments along with building and executing award programs of all levels.
