You know we love braggin' only because we can back it up and we have a few more items to add to our braggin' list.  Karen Kravitz, Head of Conceptology/President, was recently quoted in Counselor, our industry leading magazine, for three different articles!

When talking about how educated clients are about products these days Karen stated "I really feel that an educated client is our best client.  If I can teach the client something, they can understand they're getting value."  She was also quoted while talking about social media in the industry stating "You can't just ignore it completely.  In terms of building a relationship and loyalty and getting your name out there, you have to have some type of social media presence." 

We were also highlighted in a section called "Unique Choices" where Karen talks about our division Get Healthy Promos

Commotion Promotions to Make a Donation to the Wounded Warrior Project

To honor a once in a lifetime date and the upcoming Veteran’s Day, Commotion Promotions will be donating $11 from each order that is placed on 11/11/11 to the Wounded Warrior Project.  The Wounded Warrior Project was founded in 2003 with a mission “to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded warriors in this nation's history.”  They provide support and programs to help wounded soldiers that were deployed on or after September 11, 2001 on the long journey to recovery, mentally and physically. 

“We chose to donate to the Wounded Warrior Project because 11/11/11 falls on Veteran’s Day and because of how many people the WWP has helped and continues to help during this time of war” states Ken Kravitz, COO of Commotion Promotions.

Commotion Promotions is a nationally ranked promotional products company headquartered in Phoenix, AZ with offices nationwide.  Since the beginning, they have always been a company to give back to the community and at the beginning of 2011 launched the One Good Turn Project, which awards a non-profit $500 worth of promotional products each month.  With the One Good Turn Project in full swing, they have helped organizations like Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Easter Seals, Treasures 4 Teachers, Gift of Hope, and many others.

Power Partner Experience

Last week, we flew in all of our FABULOUS Brand Development Directors and our 20 top suppliers, so they could join us at our Power Partner's Experience meeting.  Each Brand Development Director got to meet with each supplier for 20 minutes, reviewing new products and industry trends.  The day after the meeting, everyone gathered for a day of team building activities which concluded with building 10 bikes for the Phoenix Youth at Risk program.  Check out the pictures below and read the full press release.  We will be posting all the great new items we found during the Power Partners Experience soon-We're just in the process of uploading them to our site!

Two thumbs up for helping giving back to the community.
