NEW MEMBER SPOTLIGHT How did your company get its start? The founder was an art major in college and was told growing up that artists can never make a good living. He wanted to find a way to make a good living and help the world around him. He started curating artwork from artists all over the world, putting them on notebooks and then selling the notebooks. A portion of each sale went directly to the artist who made the piece. What led your company to enter the promotional products market? One day we were at a trade show for our retail products. The president of one of the companies we were meeting with asked if he could get our notebooks but with custom designs. We had never thought of that and committed to the job. It’s all been a blur since then. What’s your favorite thing about being in the promotional products industry? We love getting to do work with awesome brands. The brands that use our notebooks help our efforts to build schools around the world with a portion of each notebook sale. So far we’ve built five schools and our sixth is being built right now in Nicaragua. Our mission, plus working with awesome brands, equals an extremely fun, collaborative effort to be a part of. Why did you join PPAI? Our custom notebook business is growing fast, and we want to be aligned with the best in the industry to foster that growth.
