PromoManagers is a provider of promotional items for business, school and government use. The company was founded in 2006 and has a team of professionals with more than a decade of industry experience. In fact everyone you connect with at PromoManagers will have ten or more years of experience in the promotional gifts industry.
Featuring brands such as Leeds, Gemline, Port Authority, Bic, Norwood and Sweda the company has become one of the fastest growing providers in the promotional products industry. To date the company has enjoyed success by delivering customer service that is superior to the competition and a pricing arrangement that is almost impossible to beat. With a core focus on promotional bags the company has been able to bring to market products at a rapid rate.
The promotional products industry is regulated by two organizations, ASI and PPAI. Both help to keep the industry organized by acting as an intermediary between suppliers and distributors. ASI tends to cost more than PPAI and although opinions are varied the advantage of being a member of either organization has been diminished as information has become available online. ASI has provided a catalog subscription service which for many years was the only easy way to guarantee receipt of supplier catalogs. PPAI is known for their more friendly approach. Sage is a third source of information and provides a software package that allows distributors to search through thousands of products while providing user reviews of suppliers. The industry enjoyed rapid growth through 2007 at which point there was a very sharp downturn and there was significant consolidation. This year there was growth but once again things have slowed down considerably.
Recently the company has expanded into the largest segment of the business which is promotional apparel. This includes items like corporate jackets with a logo on them, golf shirts, sweatshirts and even beanies. Beanies continue to be popular and Port Authority Jackets have always been one of the highest regarded brands in the industry. All of PromoManagers apparel include either a one color and location imprint or up to 5,000 stitch embroidery.
PromoManagers was the first in the industry to provide free setups online. The company has never charged first color setups on orders over $550 and has offered free shipping on almost all items at that same threshold.
