NBP TRAVELS What Happens in Vegas...
PROMO
HELLO SIN CITY. PPAI is the largest tradeshow in the Promotional Product industry - and what better place to house hundreds of promo peeps than the city of Las Vegas. Most of our staff was in attendance in order to broaden thier knowledge as well as find new ways to constantly innovate and enhance our work as a company. We asked our own peeps how the experience affected them individually.
R
HYS: Sharing our growing knowledge,
presence and industry relationships with our expanding team was great to witness. Watching the enthusiasm and focus that the whole Name Brand crew brought each day was literally humbling to be a part of. I have no doubt the results will bear fruit in both our culture and our ability to deliver relevant offerings to our client base.
C
LEO: I loved getting inspiration for all
the different possibilities when it comes to designing and manufacturing a product. As part of the Creative Department, it was really important to me to see the many ways I could create the same product, at different levels of quality and customization. Hanging out with my co-workers was also pretty cool for the most part.
K
ELLI: My favorite part of PPAI trade
show was seeing all the new innovations and product offerings available to present to our customers, including new trends and styles of merchandise.
S
ARA: PPAI was exactly what I needed
to fully grasp how diverse and expansive the promo industry truly is. It was at times overwhelming, but seeing the market moving in a similar direction - one of higher quality goods and more innovative ideas - was inspiring. Also, stopping at the booths that were manned by people who truly care about their finished products really left an impression.
K
EVIN: I have been attending the PPAI
show for 16 years. There have been a lot of changes in that period of time but one constant is that everyone is usually trying to show “new” things. Not to say it isn’t easy to get distracted with cool vs practical, the show is a great opportunity to learn what’s available and apply it to our customers needs.
M
ANDY: I loved getting fresh ideas from the “unique” promo vendors!
