I am very familiar with trade vendors for promotional items. I have strong relationships with many of
the larger companies, such as SanMar, PCNA, HitPromo, Wov-In, Tommys T-Shirts, and many more. My
relationships have acquired EQP on small orders, quick turn times, as well as other perks depending
on the order. I have toured a few vendors locally to see the processes and understand how their
decoration methods are implemented.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
I handled all promotional items for an event store on site for the client. There were many styles of
apparel, drinkware, personal, and pet related items. Most items sold out on site, and more orders were
placed after the event for those items.
Informed by a vendor that the promotional items purchases increased 60% since I started with that
particular employer.
