DGI was started because I was formerly a purchaser at a custom apparel shop and had a hard time juggling all of our vendors. My college roommates were amazing software engineers and helped me build a website that would solve this for myself, as well as for shops all over the country. What led your company to enter the promotional products market? We found the promotional products space as a result of my time as a printer in high school. What’s your favorite thing about being in the promotional products industry? Our favorite thing about being in the promotional products industry is how welcoming everyone has been to a group of young entrepreneurs like us. Why did you join PPAI? We joined PPAI to build connections in the industry, have access to its incredible resources and improve our reputation with distributors.
