EmbroidMe-Kingsville Has Class
Monday 20. September 2010 - Business Class Learns the Essentials of Promotional Products
EmbroidMe-Kingsville recently visited the College of Business Administration at Texas A&M University-Kingsville to speak to students about how promotional products are still helping businesses build trust, maintain relationships and generate new clients.
As the fastest growing specialty store in South Texas, EmbroidMe-Kingsville went to school to visit Dr. Monica Santaellas marketing class on Friday, September 3 to share insider knowledge on how to EmbroidMe-Kingsville helps businesses in the area and local entrepreneurs communicate their messages and boost profits. Even in this tough economy, sale of selected promotional and specialty items remains a constant.
“We really have seen a different variety of promotional products take off in the past few years,” said Carol Geryk, Owner and President of EmbroidMe-Kingsville. “We wanted the students to understand the changes in B2B sales that have happened recently. It hasnt been a bad thing, just different from the time before the recession.”
EmbroidMe-Kingsville has become a valuable partner to the sports program at Texas A&M-Kingsville, recently committing to a multi-year sponsorship with the university but hasnt had a chance to step into the classroom until now. EmbroidMe-Kingsville would like young professionals to get a glimpse of what is coming after they graduate and also what they need to help the area thrive.
“We had a lot of fun,” said Dr. Santaella, Assistant Professor of Management and Marketing at Texas A&M-Kingsville. “EmbroidMe-Kingsville really helped me illustrate what I have been teaching to the students. Its great when a successful business can come and reiterate what the college textbooks say.”
As expected, EmbroidMe-Kingsville didnt leave the class empty handed, students earned koozies, golf tees, mugs and much more from their thoughtful interaction. Through a lively conversation, EmbroidMe-Kingsville demonstrated how promotional items still have a role to play and continue to enjoy a strong corner on the incentive market. Even with the weekend looming ahead on students minds, EmbroidMe-Kingsville was able to sustain the attention of these Javelinas with the great talk by Cory Brock and his give-away, not only scoring big for the EmbroidMe-Kingsville team but also proving once more that well thought out promotional items can beat other more expensive items.
The EmbroidMe-Kingsville team will work with businesses and individuals to determine the best promotional product help promote their company images.
