Favourite Project
City departments like Parks and Recreation and Fire Services are Laurie’s favourite because they usually require lots of detail and are strategic in the delivery of the branded product. Special events and ideas for tradeshow giveaways also involve fun promotional products and creative custom product designs.
In Their Own Words
This is the best business because I get to develop relationships with all kinds of companies and help them find the best promo item to use at their event, or to give as corporate gifts. Where else do you get to design fun promo items and see them put to work in marketing campaigns?

Favourite
Creating custom volunteer appreciation gifts and volunteer recognition awards. You just need something small to show appreciation and thank a volunteer with a custom gift. It could be a creatively designed custom lapel pins for a volunteer to make them feel special or give them a custom volunteer vest so they stand out.
In Their Own Words
I have experience from a couple different industries, but the promo product industry offers lots of fun, creativity and challenges. What I enjoy most is designing a custom branded uniform or custom clothing and then seeing how much everyone loves to wear them. I’m based in New Westminster and can help organizations when they need custom branded products in the Metro Vancouver area.
