TERPS VENDOR SHOWCASE
The University of Maryland, home of the “Terps�, hosted a proactive IMG Collegiate Licensing Training and Vendor Fair for its preferred vendors which included Name Brand Promotions. The IMG College Licensing was a four-hour training session on trademark licensing and consumer product rights. After the training, the University of Maryland invited all of the student organizations, campus groups, and internal departments to attend a threehour table top showcase to meet the vendors and see some of the products and services they specialize in.
One of our Senior Account Managers, Luke Fulkerson, represented Name Brand among 14 national vendors to showcase our capabilities on branded marketing ideas for the University. The Name Brand bag line was a huge hit and sparked much interest.
Since its early days, IMG College Licensing’s mission has been to serve as the guiding force in collegiate trademark licensing and one of the top sports licensing firms in the country. As such, IMGCL dedicates itself to be a center of excellence in providing licensing services of the highest quality to institutions, licensees, retailers, and consumers. As the market for collegiate merchandise continues to evolve, IMG College Licensing will remain focused on the goal of protecting,
preserving, and maintaining both the integrity and long-term brand value of collegiate trademarks, while ensuring that consumers have access to quality licensed merchandise across all distribution channels.

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH We have always appreciated our local roots in Idaho and try our best to support the community; afterall, our local community has surely supported us. This year at our annual charity event, Music on the Water, one of our local vendors, Proof Eyewear, were displaying their wooden sunglasses when our headliner sponsor Idaho Central Credit Union, spotted them. They ran into each other and the idea of a set of custom made sunglasses was tossed around. When the idea made it back to Name Brand we ran with it!
Idaho Central Credit Union loved the sunglasses and the fact that they were made by a company based locally in Boise, Idaho was icing on the cake! We have sold Proof Eyewear to other local companies so we designed the frames, organized the packaging and prepared for fulfillment. If you want to learn more about Proof Eyewear visit them at https://www.iwantproof.com/. If you are a corporation and would like to discuss sizing, design and price break on bulk; call us at 208.996.0906.
