If you think marketing your business is a little boring, then you must not be using promotional products!  We have so much fun working with clients on their projects and seeing so many fun ways that they use “swag” to thank their employees, show love to clients, and to reach new audiences.

Our May Client Spotlight, Flatlands Jessup Insurance Group, is a company that does an amazing job of creatively using promotional products in their business.

We have worked with Flatlands Jessup Insurance Group since May 2019.  Caroline vividly remembers her first conversation with Paige Harris, discussing their upcoming employee beach retreat, and she was so impressed by Paige’s focus on making the retreat special for the employees. Paige recognized the value of branded products, and how they had the power to give employees the feeling of belonging and worth. From that moment, we knew we were going to have fun working with this group!

Caroline interviewed Paige Harris, Principal, and Charlotte Martin, Account Manager, to dig a little deeper into how they use their swag.

Caroline: What is your most-used or favorite promotional product, and what is the logo/organization on it? (whether it’s a product you purchased from us or not)

Paige: Hats and t-shirts! We love seeing strangers wear our swag. We LOVE the wine glasses too.  Farmers love their clocks and bottle openers as well.

Charlotte: I love the high quality, unique gifts that we can get from you.  Our branded flask set and wine box set are extremely high quality and look very sharp.

Caroline: What stands out as being the most popular promotional product you have used since working with CCM, and how did you use it? Is there one specific item that people just can’t stop talking about?

Paige: The farm t-shirts are our customers’ favorite items. The employees love their jackets, their canvas tote bags, and the personal care vouchers in the Christmas baskets.

{Photos of Christmas Baskets: Paige and Charlotte wanted to give their employees gift baskets for Christmas gifts. They recognized that the staff all have different interests, so they selected three themes and let the staff choose which one they would receive.  Scroll through to see the three baskets.}

Caroline: What are you looking forward to the most in 2021?  Professionally and/or personally. 

Paige: Getting back out and meeting face to face with our clients!

Caroline: Anything else you would like to include!?   Promo-related or otherwise?

Paige: There is great power in branding yourself so that others want to know more about you!

Not only does Flatlands Jessup treat their employees well, but they treat their clients well too, and we know because we are clients of theirs too!
