delivery,” Hersh says of Hit. “The future of Admints &
Zagabor is very bright. We now have the resources of
one of the best suppliers in the industry to guide us and
we are having fun.”
Where do you live, and who are your family members?
I live
outside Philadelphia near Villanova University. I have been
married to my wife, Jennifer, for 18 years but we’ve been
together for 23. We have two daughters, ages 12 and 14, as
well as a dog named Cooper who is the center of attention
in our house. I also have twin younger brothers, Glen and
Jason, whom I am very close to. Glen is Admint’s VP of
sales.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
What I love about
the promotional products industry is that we are helping other
businesses promote their brands and grow their companies. I
like walking by the shipping department and seeing all the
boxes getting ready to ship the orders for that day. All of our
items are like hundreds of thousands of little soldiers going out
there to help our economy and support the jobs of all the com-
panies we service.
What motivates you in business and in life?
I am an eternal
optimist and I genuinely believe that I can accomplish any-
thing I put my mind to as long as I follow it up with hard
work and persistence. I am motivated by so many things but
my family is at the top of the list. I received wise advice years
ago from a mentor, who said, “Always look forward.” I never let
yesterday’s success confuse what is needed for today and
tomorrow, and this keeps me humble and focused.
What advice do you have for a newcomer to the promotional
products industry?
There are no shortcuts. Success in our
industry is built with hard work, good business decisions and
solid relationships with your distributor partners. Surround
yourself with people who understand the promotional product
industry to shorten the learning curve.
