PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: CUSTOM HEADWEAR
POUNCE ON YOUR PREY Tasked with supplying a giveaway that created a ‘WOW’ from prospective students – our sales & creative team went to work. Inspired by a pro-football hat that our team recently saw, we set ourselves the goal of reproducing the hat at Promo prices. Brushed twill, large-clean embroidery, a custom printed bill, twotone coloring, custom colored snap-back and custom tagging all lend themselves to this item exceeding our clients expectations – and most importantly – being an incredibly effective promotional giveaway.
TURN TIME: 4 WEEKS PRICE POINT: $5-8 SUBJECT TO QUANTITY

Solution: Utilizing the Big Le’Boise theme, our creative mob threw their Macs together, outputting a series of designs that left the audience clamoring for this unique and outrageously fun giveaway. Oh, and the clients were extremely happy too....

SERVICE SPOTLIGHT: WEBSTORES
WHY WEBSTORES WORK
<Features> <li>Convenience</li> <li>Accessibility</li> <li>Broader Audience</li> <li>Industry Standard</li> </Features>
We compete in an incredibly competitive industry where great ideas are executed with quality all the time. If that were enough to separate the men from the boys, we’d have a lot more competition. Making great product is often only half the battle. You need a way to get that product to your intended audience that doesn’t make you pull your hair out. Sometimes that looks like distributing order forms or bulk ordering or warehousing (which we do), but if you want your audience to be able to order small quantities from the comfort of anywhere there’s Internet, a webstore might be the right call for you.

Targeted product choices are the best way to make an impression on your audience

NBP TRAVELS:
WALK-OFF HOME RUN NBP’s token ‘Brit’, Rhys Bowen, finally crossed the threshold to true ‘Americanism’ this month. During a NBP customer appreciation event at the Seattle Mariners, he took in his first ever baseball game. His rite of passage was completed by devouring a Cheese-Jalapeño Dog, Coors Light & garlic fries. Our client (a life-long Mariners fan… poor guy) gave Rhys the baseball 101, teaching him to pick a fastball from a slider - quite the achievement for a cricket fan. The night was complete when the Mariners came back from 3-0 down, deep in the ninth to win 4-3 with a walk off home run by first baseman, Adam Lind. “Buzzing” was the word of the night!
A Prime case for cool Promo NBP recently won a project through Seattle’s down-town mecca ‘Amazon’. Providing branded product for an upcoming internal seminar, the Amazon team were thrilled with the creative take on the gifts for their International Executive Management Team. Stay tuned for production pictures…. Fun facts: Did you know… Amazon Employees are encouraged to bring their dogs to work. Their newest building (one of 25 downtown) includes a doggy park for employees. Oh, and if you ever need computer products such as keyboards, mice or monitor cables, there’s no need to call IT – you just use one of the vending machines dotted throughout the building. It’s a privilege to be able to supply branded product to such a rapidly growing company, changing both downtown Seattle & international commerce. It’s a humbling and amazing experience for a small and growing company, such as NBP, to be chosen to provide our product to such a major international powerhouse such as Amazon.
