I am very familiar with trade vendors for promotional items. I have strong relationships with many of

decoration methods are implemented.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
I handled all promotional items for an event store on site for the client. There were many styles of

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.
