How did your company get its start?
I’ve been working in the
plush toy industry since 2005. While our core business was wholesal-
ing to standard retail businesses, we noticed the demand for the pro-
motional plush was significant. We constantly received orders from
promotional businesses and we knew we were just scratching the sur-
face. Early in 2014, I decided to start a new company that would
focus primarily on the promotional business market, which I deeply
believe has tremendous growth potential.
What’s your favorite thing about being in the promotional
products industry?
Exploring new opportunities is super fun to me.
We specialize in stuffed animals and plush-related items. By interact-
ing with customers on a daily business, we keep having new ideas
spin off our heads. It’s an awesome experience when we introduce a
new personalizable product and it is liked by our customers.
When did your company know that it wanted to be a part of
this industry?
We first noticed the huge opportunities in this
industry when we were still focusing on the retail plush business
years ago. Promotional products orders just came out of
nowhere when customers spotted our products somewhere else.
Back then, we just did not have the time and energy to commit
to a brand-new market. Now we are in it 100 percent and we
know we can do well in this industry.
