PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: JOURNAL BOOKS
BRAINPOWER The need to write things down in order to document, inform, or entertain, is something we as humans have been compelled to do throughout history. So the question beckons: What do we write in? Better question: What do your clients and colleagues use for this very important part of our lives? What if you could hand your peeps a journal so cool, and so classy, that they used it exclusively for all their day-to-day note taking needs? Not to toot our own horn here but we think this double-sided journal book we designed for a tech company, is one their recipients will definitely be getting a lot of use out of!
A comment from Rhys:
“I know many people laugh at me for being so ‘passionate about promo.’ I’m sure people wonder how anyone can be excited within such a commoditized industry. Fundamentally I get a buzz from seeing our team conjure an idea that elevates an everyday item. I love when I see our model play out. Creativity, thought, and concept came together in this journal book. I have no doubt the recipient will see this as one of the best (or close to it) promotional pieces they have received in many a year...Our design team knocked this one out of the park. Great job guys!”

CASE STUDY:
COMPLETE CREATIVITY: CUSTOM COLORING BOOKS Mission:
The Hilton Club New York asked to create a fun and usable item that would be perfect for all the guests’ kiddos.
Solution:
We took the ultimate creative approach and designed a New York themed coloring book- complete with stickers, crayons, and a sturdy cinch bag to carry it all in as these youngsters toured the city. Each page was illustrated by hand (kudos to our Creative Director) and was based on all the must-see spots in NY.

SERVICE SPOTLIGHT: WAREHOUSING + FULFILLMENT
MORE ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES
We feel blessed that so many of you choose us for your branded product needs. Truly, in such a short amount of time, our “once small business” is growing at a rate that is both stunning and exciting!
Always committed to identifying the true needs of our clients, we have taken on a second (and BIGGER) warehouse. We figured, with all the cool swag we have been given the opportunity to create, we better get more space to store it! In all seriousness, Name Brand Promotions is now offering FREE warehousing and fulfillment - get in contact with us, and we’ll make sure to let you in on all the details.
A note from Matt on how this helps us better service our clients: “Our new warehouse space allows us to move around more. We now have space to spread our wings and take on new opportunities to make your experience easier and more convenient. No more hassle of having to clog up your office with those 10 boxes of product you just ordered. Let us store your items and deliver them upon request.”

NBP TRAVELS:
KIEL IN THE PA Our multi-talented Creative Director, Kiel, was given the opportunity to fly all the way to Lancaster County to take photos of Retreat Addiction Center’s beautiful facility. Not only has Retreat trusted us to take care of all their promo needs, they entrusted us with the task of re-branding ALL of their print collateral for each location. We have redesigned brochures, rack cards, trade show banners - even extensive marketing booklets. In addition to this refresh, Retreat’s Marketing Coordinator requested brand new photos be taken of the campus and staff. They were so happy with Kiel’s work, that they are flying him to their Palm Beach location! (Yeah, being a Creative Director can be a hard life).
“They were able to capture the beauty of our campus and the dedication of our staff. So incredibly grateful to work with such talented individuals.”

What is your favorite part about working for Name Brand Promotions?
KIEL:
I love the variety of the type of work. Every day I get to work on several different brands that go on several different types of gear and no two days look alike. I’ve visited factories, flown to amazing cities, and photographed facilities that I’d never have been able to do were I to not have worked here. It’s pretty great.
