A message from Omaha Promos' President, Denise K. Baker,
People are often surprised (and occasionally express outright astonishment!) when they learn our little family-owned custom apparel and promo products company is as old as it is. Indeed, this company's roots go as far back as the Roarin' 20s when my maternal great grandfather, a Dutch immigrant, started printing calendars in the basement of his house.
Since that time, Omaha Promos has seen its share of changing family leadership and the typical small business growing pains, but we are thriving today, do business all across the US, and we're just so proud to be a woman-owned operation with offices in both Omaha, Nebraska and Kansas City, Missouri (cousin Barbara Stein runs the KC operation).
Naturally, people who hear our name or see our logo want to know what we do. The inclination to believe we're a one-trick pony specializing in promotional items or cheap trade show giveaways is understandable, but in a world full of overwhelming and hard to navigate e-commerce promo product sites and faceless order takers on the other end of an 800 number, Omaha Promos prides ourselves on developing trust and relationships with our clientele. We accomplish this through sheer enthusiasm for and experience in the industry, coupled with a diverse skillset to achieve our one and only goal: increasing YOUR brand awareness and reach among YOUR fans and potential customers through an always innovative strategy of custom gear, custom clothing (logo), promotional items and branding.
What are our capabilities?
As I alluded to, our capabilities are diverse. Apparel is a big one. Custom corporate clothing is a huge space for Omaha Promos. We can put your real estate agents in beautiful custom corporate apparel like embroidered dress shirts, polo shirts and blazers; we do a ton of custom screen-printed t-shirts for roofing and lawn care businesses, home builders and bicycle shops; Omaha Promos does custom logo caps, trucker hats, scarves and other neckwear; we can handle your needs for rain wear, umbrellas, ponchos and a great selection of fashion accessories, all custom curated to match your style and budget. Omaha Promos also supplies customized uniforms for security companies, as well as surgical scrubs in healthcare settings and among veterinarian clinics.
Another big space for Omaha Promos? Bags. We offer an incredible selection of totes, woven bags, environmentally friendly renewable bags, duffel bags, clear plastic bags, laptop and computer cases, messenger bags, sport bags - the list goes on and on. Not only can you select from well known national brands, but we customize your bag requirements in various colors and decorating options so no one will confuse your baggage for anyone else's!
Health/Fitness/Safety is another category Omaha Promos handles for many of our clients, and with good reason - you won't find a better selection of custom, logo designed items to improve the health and fitness of everyone on your staff (or your clients for that matter). For example, we offer customized lip balms, custom hand sanitizers, custom beauty and skincare items; Omaha Promos is your source for all things safety in the Covid-19 environment, items like latex gloves, surgical masks, the aforementioned hand sanitizer in myriad sizes and configurations, even no-touch infrared digital thermometers for use at your place of business, as required/where applicable.
The last market segment I'll mention in this week's Omaha Promos blog post is Awards and Recognition. We have always said employee recognition is nearly as important as client appreciation gifts. Choose from custom trophies, plaques and banners; Omaha Promos can handle your needs for safety awards, years of service awards and the like, and everything in between.
At the end of the day, Omaha Promos wouldn't be where we are today without hard work and sacrifice yes, but also, we wouldn't be where we are today without YOU, our valued friends and peers. THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, for your trust and patronage.
Team Omaha Promos wishes you all a blessed, happy, healthy and safe New Year!
