For A New Market
AS THE CHAPEL DOORS CONTINUE to open for more couples, one sup-
plier is keeping an eye out for new promotional opportunities. Leslie,
Michigan-based supplier Weepuline, LLC (UPIC: WEEPULS)
recently launched a line of Same-Sex Marriage Weepuls™. Michael
Crooks, vice president of U.S. operations, says his company’s newest
Weepuls fill the void of relevant promotional products for the same-
sex-marriage (SSM) market.
“We believe the same-sex-marriage market is largely underserved
with specific products that deliver a message creatively and effectively,”
says Crooks. “We developed our SSM Weepul in an effort to expand
the markets for our distributor partners by providing a relevant prod-
uct with which the gay and lesbian community can promote causes
and celebrate events.”
The SSM Weepuls are two Weepuls on one base, outfitted in
either top hats or bridal veils. The concept can be further enhanced
with the optional use of Weepuline’s “rainbow” poms. The promotional
message is imprinted on an attached ribbon. Crooks adds that the
concept is applicable across other Weepuline products as well, includ-
ing a Weepul holding an appropriate-colored awareness ribbon, and
relevant bookmark options.
