Melissa Milligan: It’s Melissa here! I am a senior promotional marketing consultant at CREATIVE.
Have you ever found yourself looking at your calendar only to realize you have a week to order some branded promotional products for an event? The scramble is on. You call me and I say sure I can make something work for you. Here’s the deal though – you are restricted to certain products, you can only have a one-color imprint, there are additional rush charges and we will have to expedite your shipping to AIR overnight in order to get the product to you. Once the order ships WE all cross our fingers and hope that there isn’t some kind of natural disaster OR pandemic that delays delivery!
The world as we know it is still in upheaval. Make a change and start your planning early. Take a look at your year as a whole. Look at what events you are planning and share that information with me. The benefits are many. We will have a broader selection of goods and decorating methods to choose from. There won’t be additional rush charges. We will be able to ship best way ground. We can get more creative with the project. And the stress levels are kept at a minimum.
Help me to help you! Let’s connect and start planning.
Peace.
