    I represent HALO Branded Solutions, one of the largest Promotional Products Distributors in the country. I can source any of the nearly one million “Things” that my industry offers, like Pens, Mugs, Tote Bags, Magnets, Shirts & Hats ... but that’s the LAST thing I want to do. I would rather sit down with a client or prospect and ask questions about their business, how they go to market, what their goals, projects, and challenges are. I will then do my homework, researching the information I now have to see if I can offer ideas utilizing some of the products I represent, to assist that company to overcome a specific challenge, or achieve a particular goal. If I can, then and only then, would I contact that company for another appointment, this time to present specific, targeted ideas. I attend all of the significant trade shows in my own industry, always looking for what’s hot, special, new and different. In fact, I just got back from the largest of them, held every year in Las Vegas.I purchase and subscribe to the very best search tools available in my industry. Frequently I’m asked to simply source specific items someone has seen somewhere else. My success rate is in the high 90’s.I can provide any business or organization, large or small, with almost any product imprinted or decorated to tell their story … to enhance their logo or brand’s recognition and image. And if all someone wants is a nice coffee mug, or a classy pen, or a sturdy tote bag, or a sharp-looking shirt or sweater – then I’m your guy. However:o If you would appreciate an audit of your current Calendar program’s return on investmento If you need a way to incentivize anything from increased sales to improved attendanceo If you need some ideas to increase meaningful traffic to your trade show bootho If you are having trouble finding, or worse, keeping really good employees – then I have proven ideas to share with you. I’m Jack Penkala, representing HALO Branded Solutions. Thank you.
