About Us

Company Profile

  The Promotional Product Corporation (PPC) was formed to set standards in the promotional product industry. PPC is an extensive executive collaboration between the promotional product manufacturing businesses. This group has the knowledge of all aspects of the products available and what is to come in the future. PPC has collected information on more than 250,000 items from concept to printed product.   

    We are the only company that offers a complete solution on company wide promotional product spending habits while managing any current situation on the supply chain. Our killer application is simply unbeatable. A transparent process between all our clients and the manufacturers. This is unheard of but we will show you were we got the product and what we paid for it.  You will know what our profit is and exactly what we provide for that profit. No one company has ever offered or even suggested such a radical idea to reduce company expenditures. This we believe is the way of future and the only way we can compete with overseas markets. If the product has to be sourced overseas we will be able to keep the print production facilities in North America. This is due to the turnaround time needed for North American markets. Based on this the printing industry has to be competitive with overseas. This is our focus to organize the client and the manufacturer to the most effective transaction. This includes consulting with clients to have a yearly print schedule and mesh that with the manufacturer. We qualify and then initiate your relationship and act as your own print production manager. Yes, you now have someone on the inside showing you the way through an industry that is not open …..yet. Until now you didn’t even know that you needed us.  

     As former trade manufacturers we have experienced the business with middlemen that distribute every product under the sun.  A promotional company usually has no manufacturing experience and is unable to communicate the proper technical details for production of product to their client. How can they, they are busy selling not researching new technologies We believe the client should be in direct communication with the company that is making their product. If that is not possible then and only then a person that has completed training and has hands on experience will be able to direct the transaction to the best possible solution. This saves production time and uses the manufacturers strengths to fill their client needs while reducing costs on both sides.

    Our manufacturers estimated 20% more profit by having one way to communicate with other manufacturers, suppliers and customers. Spending minimal time on each transaction was a crucial detail. We now know that transactions from a B2B or a B2C standpoint will become digital and self-service transactions. That the primary value added role of any business will be customer service. The low-value tasks that service now performs will be automated. Replaced with high-value personal service when needed on important issues. Companies now are adopting digital systems for efficiency reasons. They will use these systems for every internal routine task and constantly adjust their processes for surroundings that change always due to competition.

     We have written two standards one for the client and one for the manufacturer to protect each end of the transaction. PPC has the current information about the new technologies that are developed yearly. The Corporate Brand Consistency System (CBCS) was then developed as the first standard for customers to use. Then the Manufacturers Quality Control Program (MQCP) soon followed. This now is a way to both over see the customer and manufacturer as equals.

Definition:

A promotional product is any item that has a company logo or other message on it.

Why Us?

    Our concept of giving all the product sourcing information to the client is new and now treats the transaction as percentage fee based on raw costs instead of the current view of getting what you can. Especially if the product is dear to the purchaser and the salesman knows it. The dawn of a new age has approached, the information age. It has changed the way businesses communicate with each other. There can be direct contact quickly and easily. There is no reason for that not to happen and we will help your company tap into this with no new equipment or software and no up front expenses. The system is there all we have to do is show you how to use it.   

   These products are staple goods and the transaction should be direct with manufacturers creating online relationships. The salesman’s 30% is now effectively cut out and the end-user gains this benefit directly and immediately. When the delivery dates are crucial and the imaging is important there is has to be direct and experienced manufacturing communication. Having anyone in between is not  in the clients best interests.

    We have the current information about the new technologies that are developed yearly. We are constantly updating and looking for new equipment to help our manufacturers stay ahead in technological advances. We even request that certain equipment be installed in some facilities for us to do business with them. To achieve quality consistently, only the proper equipment with no short cuts will save time and money. As for the end-user we group them together and organize print runs to take advantage of all the manufacturing capabilities to drive down costs. This changing the whole process of sourcing product. The criteria for this to happen is constantly evolving and we are committed to following it.
