New York, NY, August 26, 2009 - ePromos Promotional Products today announces that it has been named - for the third year running - among the Inc. 5000, a much-anticipated, comprehensive ranking of the 5,000 fastest-growing, privately owned companies in the United States.

"Just as the Inc. 5000 serves as what the folks at Inc. call 'a unique report card on the U.S. economy,' our placement among its ranks serves as a report card on our steady growth despite recent tumult in the markets," explains ePromos' CEO and founder Jason Robbins. "Where other promotional products firms might have faltered when companies tightened marketing and promotions budgets, ePromos' course remains steady. We have kept our focus on helping marketers and business owners tap the power of promotional products to not only survive, but also to thrive," he adds.

According to Robbins, ePromos success is due in part to the firm's extensive web catalog at www.epromos.com, which houses 14,000+ promotional products plus numerous case studies and real-world advice for selecting promotional products best suited to individual promotions. The firm's success is also due, says Robbins, to its established team of marketing-savvy promotional experts. "Our customers return to us again and again not only because we've made our website user-friendly and very easy to search," explains Robbins, "they also return because marketers and business owners appreciate being able to connect with a real person, a promotional expert who can listen to what they want to accomplish, provide recommendations and product samples from a deep well of suppliers, and then seamlessly manage the product ordering process from start to finish."

ePromos and its fellow Inc. 5000 companies, with aggregate revenue of $214 billion - up $29 billion from last year - have added more than one million jobs since their founding, a testament to their combined strength and growth potential. ePromos currently employs 75+ people in its offices in New York City, Florida, Arizona, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Oregon.

"Savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well as older, private companies that are still expanding at an impressive rate," says Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. "That's why our list is so eagerly anticipated every year." Today, ePromos continues on its success path, seeking placement on the fourth annual Inc. 5000 and to add several thousand new customers to the 20,000+ it serves today.

ePromos delivers impactful promotional products that help Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, not-for profits, associations, and academic institutions increase brand recognition. The company ranks in the top one percent of promotional products distributors in the U.S. and is a seven-time winner of the Promotional Products Association International's Best Web Site award, the industry's highest honor. Based in New York with offices in Arizona, Florida, Massachusetts, and Oregon, ePromos has a highly diversified global client base of over 20,000 customers.

ePromos announces the inclusion of momAgenda, a new brand, to their award-winning website.

New York, NY, July 22, 2009 - ePromos Promotional Products, Inc., one of the world's leading promotional products distributors, recently announced the addition of upscale day planners for businesswomen and mothers from momAgenda to its web catalog. This partnership with ePromos marks the first time momAgenda has made its stylish brand of organizational products available online to buyers of logoed merchandise.

Founded by Nina Restieri, a former ad executive striving to organize her hectic schedule, momAgenda sought to provide mothers with planners to help organize their daily lives. The popularity of momAgenda's planners immediately drew the attention of women across the country seeking to organize their everyday lives as Restieri witnessed her first run of products sell out within three days to 120 stores.

"Experienced and resourceful logoed merchandise purchasers know that brand name products in promotions allow you to take advantage of the marketing efforts of the hottest and most recognizable brands," says Mark Yokoyama, ePromos' Director of Marketing and Merchandising. "By simply printing your logo on a planner from an emerging brand like momAgenda, you can build upon the image it has spent years developing."

momAgenda's planners do more than offer practical solutions to customers by offering academic calendar schedules that allow for school year planning and by featuring individual schedule spaces for each child. They also serve as a stylish accessory that can be personalized to highlight the importance of heavily-invested mothers in everyone's daily lives.

"We're excited to be the first company to offer the momAgenda product online in the promotional product arena," added Yokoyama. "Our two companies recognize the other's potential for growth, and I am positive that we will make the most of this opportunity to establish an even greater presence in our respective industries."

Yokoyama also highlighted how adding momAgenda to the ePromos selection of brand name products has continued to bolster its reputation as a premier promotional products supplier. "Customers have come to expect us to carry the newest and trendiest products from world class brand names, and we are continuing to work towards providing our customers with the most diverse selection of merchandise that will help our clients stand out among their competition."

ePromos announces the addition of the up-and-coming Insomnia Cookies brand to their web catalog.

New York, NY, (PRWEB) July 16, 2009 - ePromos Promotional Products, Inc., one of the world's leading distributors of logoed merchandise, recently announced the addition of cookie gift boxes and tins from Insomnia Cookies to its selection of promotional products. As the exclusive distributor of custom imprinted Insomnia Cookies gift sets, ePromos will introduce Insomnia Cookies to the corporate gift and incentive market.

As undergraduate juniors at the University of Pennsylvania in 2003, Seth Berkowitz and Jared Barnett, the innovative founders of Insomnia Cookies sought to fill college students' needs for light, late-night snacks and dependable food delivery on campus. The founders' operations started in a 5-by-10, closet-sized kitchen with one table and a small fridge that had to be shared with nine other people. However, the company quickly blossomed as students bombarded them with phone calls for deliveries of cookies and milk around campus. With the growing popularity of its delectable cookies and brownies, Insomnia Cookies has expanded to more than 15 other campuses across the country in just a matter of five years.

"With companies constantly searching for trendy, quality corporate gifts that will bolster their company image and separate themselves from the competition, we thought that Insomnia Cookies was a brand that could push our selection of corporate food gifts to the next level,? said Mark Yokoyama, ePromos' Director of Marketing and Merchandising. "Food and cookie gifts are already popular corporate gift items, but having a brand name of this caliber in that category makes it that much better." Insomnia Cookies' gifts are traditionally used as holiday gifts, but they can be used to demonstrate companies' appreciation for their clients any time. Regardless of the occasion, Yokoyama says, companies can always reward customers with an Insomnia Cookies gift that will show their gratitude and remind recipients of delicious homemade cookies.

"Insomnia Cookies is already one of the hottest brands in college communities," added Yokoyama. "As its exclusive distributor, ePromos will work towards making Insomnia Cookies one of the most recognizable brands in the corporate arena as well." Custom imprinted Insomnia Cookies tins and gift boxes are available online at the ePromos web site: http://www.epromos.com/category/2592.html

"Not only do Timbuk2's trendy, environmentally sensitive gifts convey an overt sense of quality to employees and customers who receive them; they also mark the giving firm as a firm that truly cares."

That powerful brand linkage flows both ways, explains Yokoyama, pointing to ePromos' partnerships with other marquee consumer brands, such as SIGG, American Apparel, Built NY, and Zippo. "Because the brands we carry help differentiate ePromos as a firm on the forefront as well, we're always on the lookout for new and exciting, fashion-forward products: we want to be able to give our customers the widest possible selection of new merchandise that helps set them apart," he says.

About Promotional Products Association International
PPAI is the preeminent membership organization leading the evolving promotional products industry in growth, innovation and success. Since 1904, PPAI has led the industry by expanding markets, providing indispensable products and services, and enhancing members' professionalism and chances of success.

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 5, 2008 -- With consumer spending on the decline and jobless claims on the rise, leading promotional products company ePromos Promotional Products, Inc. has identified five great products for the new Great Depression. For struggling businesses, these five products were selected as the optimal use of promotional advertising budgets during trying times.

"While goofy freebie items were seen as a symptom of dot-com excess, practical promos are the ideal advertising vehicle during a recession," says Jason Robbins, President of ePromos. "While everybody loves free stuff - even in boom times - in the current market, companies have a chance to make a much bigger impact. We feel consumers will respond very favorably to businesses that use their advertising budgets to help their customers in a time of need."

While ePromos has always advised clients to choose useful promotional products, the epidemic of belt-tightening around the world has made this strategy even more prevalent. A recent study by the Advertising Specialty Institute found that 81 percent of promotional products were kept by recipients because they were considered useful, and the majority of survey participants had done business with the advertiser after receiving a product. "During a time when we're facing turbulent economic conditions, this research advises marketers and business owners to invest in advertising specialties (promotional products) now more than ever," said ASI president and CEO Timothy Andrews.

ePromos also anticipates the advertising impact of promotional products will increase. "As people hold onto these items longer and use them more, the same investment in product gets you much more visibility," says Mark Yokoyama, Director of Marketing and Merchandising for ePromos. "In this economic climate the average person isn't going to throw away something useful, so the cost per impression goes way down."

Jumbo Reusable Grocery Tote (SKU 8827914 - as low as $1.79) As more cities and states face budget shortfalls, the trend towards taxes on disposable plastic bags is likely to accelerate. This useful, inexpensive item is a great way to build customer loyalty, and a miniature billboard for your brand.

Insulated Lunch Bag (SKU 8825847 - as low as $2.69) As more people pack their lunch instead of eating out, sales of this product have been jumping. According to our informal calculations, it only costs half as much as the average sandwich.

Aluminum Sports Bottle (SKU 8829697- as low as $3.39) This already trendy item is bound to get more popular as more people reconsider buying bottled water when they can get it for free from the tap. It is also a great alternative to plastic bottles that contain BPA.

Color Ring Stainless Steel Tumbler (SKU 8822348 - as low as $3.89) Fewer four dollar lattes and more coffee from home are bringing this commuter staple back in a big way. Plus, it costs less than one of those four dollar lattes.

Drawstring Backpack (SKU 8822559 - as low as $1.56) Already a top seller, this promotional bargain is the perfect low-cost promo for anyone who wants to reach a large audience on a budget while still offering a truly useful item. Just add a stick and you can also transform it into a bindle in time to catch the next freight train.

Real-life stories show how companies use promotional products to
boost revenue and reach goals

August 27, 2007 - (New York, NY) - Can promotional products really help companies open new revenue streams, drive campaign awareness, boost Web traffic and cut new hire turnover? They can – according to The Promo Know-How Zone, launched today at http://ideas.epromos.com by ePromos, a leader in branded promotional products. The first-of-its-kind blog, designed to be a resource for customers, the press and the business community, presents and seeks stories of companies successfully using promotional products to boost business and reach goals.

"Lots of people ask us, ‘Can promotional products really help us do that?’" says Mark Yokoyama, Director of Marketing and Merchandising. "Since we’ve helped thousands of customers reach thousands of unique goals, we knew we could provide an answer by creating a resource that shares how successful promotions are put together. And that’s what The Promo Know-How Zone is all about. It’s a place where our audience—and, really, anyone interested in the promotional products industry—can turn for in-depth information on how to use promotional products in many industries and ways."

The company compiled over 100 detailed case studies for its initial blog launch. At the site, visitors can subscribe for automated e-mail or feed updates, as well as sort and search studies by industry: from accounting and construction to healthcare and real estate, by product type: from apparel and home and garden to desktop items and travel accessories, as well as by campaign type: from corporate gifts and new product launches to direct mail and trade show promotions.

Each story, usually fewer than 600 words, shares how a particular promotion was developed, including the company’s unique goals and challenges and how and why a solution ultimately worked. Stories also include color photographs of the winning promotional items.

Yokoyama says that the firm chose the blog format because of its widespread popularity. "Plus, we also wanted to encourage and allow readers to comment, leave feedback and submit their own examples of successful promo campaigns," he explains.

And despite rising college costs, student enrollment continues to rise: 2005 saw a record 17.3 million students attending college; enrollment is predicted to increase 12% over that by 2014—so says the same study.

Know Your Target Audience. It’s essential to discover which promotional products will be most useful to teens. For instance, since 9,000 teens get their driver’s licenses every day, car-related items fare well. ePromos’ Pick: Deco Key Light (8822635), a handy keychain device that gives a student a ready light source for ruffling through a crowded backpack, purse or locker.

New York, NY, June 19, 2007 – Even rising gas prices can’t keep summer travelers at home this year. With leisure travel expected to increase 1.4% according to a study by the Travel Industry Association (TIA), it’s more important than ever for companies to maintain a strong presence with busy customers & dedicated employees. To help companies do just that, Mark Yokoyama, Director of Marketing and Merchandising at ePromos Promotional Products, and his merchandising team have developed for the 2007 summer season their Top 5 list of travel-friendly and functional promotional business gifts for customers and employees.

“Although summer may not be a traditional gifting time,” says Mark Yokoyama, Director of Marketing and Merchandising at ePromos Promotional Products, “effective branding opportunities do exist throughout the season. People like to be out and about during the summer, so it’s important to target your summertime promos to the outdoor environment. Our Top 5 list contains outdoor promotional items that will help set your company apart from competitors during a less aggressive gifting time,” he explains.

Because visiting the beach is one of the most common summertime activities. the Folding Beach Mat with Storage Tote (SKU: 8825574) is always a winner. This comfy straw beach mat comes with its own 5 oz. cotton canvas tote for easy storage and traveling
Because 14% of people plan to take golf trips this summer, the Solid Color Performance Polo (SKU: 8825277) hits the number two spot on this year’s list. The high performance polo shirt’s unique micro fiber provides moisture wicking for cool, dry comfort, while its BodyFreshe ™ treatment inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
Ready for the company’s summertime picnic? Even if your firm isn’t hosting its own, you can bet your customers and employees will be picnicking over the long, hot summer. That’s why we recommend the Solid Picnic Blanket (SKU: 8825503), a perfect promotional piece made of an ultra-soft, anti-pill, 100% polyester leece interior and a durable, water-repellent 200d Nylon Oxford shell. With attached carry handles, Velcro pockets, tubular binding and an easy-fold design, it’s the perfect promotional gift for fun on the run.
Since 81% of U.S. households own a grill, and since grills and summertime to together like baseballs and gloves, the Walnut Grove 4-Piece BBQ Apron Set (SKU: 8824681) claims the number four spot on this year’s must-give summertime business gift list. This promotional BBQ set includes wood-handled stainless steel tongs, grilling fork and spatula packed in a durable canvas carrying case that doubles as an apron.
Because tailgating is a 100-year-old American pastime, you can’t go wrong with the Rolling Insulated 30-Can Cooler (SKU: 8825533). Not only is it big—it holds five six-packs!—it’s also collapsible and comes with Velcro straps and a detachable and adjustable, padded shoulder strap for easy folding, carrying and storage. While it’s full, a telescoping handle and durable wheels make travel a breeze while a heat-sealed liner keeps the cold inside where it belongs. And if that’s not enough, a zippered front pocket and side mesh nooks keep bottle openers and coolies organized.
