More Than Trinkets

Don't you dare call 'em trinkets. American companies spend over 15 billion dollars a year on so called "trinkets". Promotional items make up an industry you probably didn't know existed, yet have been surrounded with most, if not, all of your life. If you looked around a typical office we're sure you would see any number of promotional products from vendors and clients. You might even see a few from your own company or organization. You'll see everything from ink pens, note pads, coffee mugs, mouse pads, letter openers, cd holders, awards, binders, clipboards, coasters, golf products, calendars, clocks, and calculators. Just observe everyday life in any public arena and you'll see tons of t-shirts, tote bags, trophies, towels, tie clips etc. Promotional products are absolutely everywhere. 

Promotional items are described as any type of merchandise, useful or decorative, imprinted with a company or organization's name, logo or message and used as a part of a marketing or communications campaign. Studies have shown that customers given promotional items are more likely to remember the company that gave them the product and twice as likely to return for future business. In addition, well planned, targeted advertising involving promotional items can be highly effective in converting disinterested prospects into active, buying clients.

A successful manufacturer once said that he sold 1 million quarter-inch drill bits to people who didn't want drill bits at all. What they wanted were quarter-inch holes. Business people buying promotional products aren't necessarily  looking for promotional items per se. What they wanted were results. Those promotional items were the drill bits that gave them the increased revenue, store traffic, booth traffic, motivated employees, raised funds, sales leads, better shelf space, better customer relations, etc., that they were looking for.

Company Profile

Printech Promotions is a family owned business which stems from a firm whose roots extend from 1977 when Sid Cannon started Ad-Tex, a home-based 
business which began as a hobby. He continued operating Ad-Tex as a home based business while working as a production manager for a major 
agricultural implement manufacturer. When the ag company closed it's doors in 1982 he co-founded The Shirt Shack Corporation. The Shirt Shack Corporation 
was primarily a contract printing firm, working with local advertising specialty firms. He left Shirt Shack in 1984 and started Printech Company, which has grown to include embroidery and embroidery digitizing as well as promotional products and art production in their line of services. In 2002 Printech Company changed it’s name to Printech Promotions. 

Tiffany Cartwright (Sid's daughter) started part time with the business during her junior year of high school in 1984. After a time with the Shelby County Government and a few years with a t-shirt / wearables wholesaler as office 
manager, Tiffany came to work full time for Printech Company in 1988 primarily as office manager. Since then she has gained experience in all aspects of the business from screen printing, art development and 
embroidery machine operation to production scheduling. She currently oversees and manages the entire operation.
