WEBSTORES:
THE FUTURE OF PROMO
Name Brand lives by three pillars; quality, service, and competitive pricing. Webstores help us deliver these pillars and they are a big reason why we are putting such an emphasis on this underutilized service. Most of our clients are aware of the term “webstore” but don’t realize how easy they are. Webstores are a great opportunity to centralize your purchasing efforts. In addition to delivering added value to your promotional/marketing needs it’s a
great opportunity to offer employees a place to buy product with your brand. Webstores can help you maintain brand integrity as every piece is designed for your specific brand by our creative team. Webstores also allow quantity price breaks. You can also keep a close
eye on how much you are selling and which items are the most popular with real time reporting. Lastly, there’s no need to worry about shipping because we offer warehousing and fulfillment. Name Brand makes it easy every step of the way! We have in house graphic
designers who not only create and design your store, they work directly with our sourcing agent to make all of your products fit your marketing goals. When your product is sold we stock and ship from our warehouse.

If you think that will save you time, we have one last time saver for you, we will ship all of your gifts for you as well!
IDAHO STATE HOMECOMING Name Brand loves its clients but, we also love our families. Nothing is better than when the two come together for an amazing weekend away packed full of fun! As a dad that travels, I can’t tell you how many times my children, especially my 9-year old daughter, Elena, have pleaded “Can I come with you daddy?”. Last year I took her to Pocatello to meet a few very understanding clients. Since that trip, the pleads have grown
louder, and I’ve even found her snuck in the back of my car with an overnight bag (luckily the giggles gave away my stowaway within a few hundred feet of the house). This year my whole family decided to visit Idaho State’s Campus for
homecoming. It was a privilege to connect my crazy kids to a few friends Name Brand has made in the community. We were guests at the homecoming game, which my boys loved (they gravitate towards underdogs, proven by their Cleveland
Browns fandom). We used the 24-hour hotel swimming pool basically 24 hours a day, and genuinely loved the opportunity to road trip together as a family. Pocatello has been very gracious to Name Brand – thank you!!!!

A: Someone fun, goofy, and short, so probably Ellen Page. Q: Which cartoon character would you most like to switch lives with? A: Emperor Kuzco. His life seems pretty fab.
Q: What are your hidden talents? A: It’s a tie between puns and wiggling my ears, but it’s definitely not ping pong. :( Q: What kind of hobbies do you have outside of work?
