Direct Promotions

[Music] 41 years ago, my partner and founder of the company, Mark Knax, had created what is today Direct Promotions and a family of other companies. For over 20 years, we've been contracted vendors of the Board of Education of New York City. Out of 1,800 public schools, we sell close to a thousand. We are here to be one-stop shop. We start with apparel. We move into promotional products. We then go into branding and we close the year with your graduation products. Our goal here is to provide you with everything that you need for all of the apparel and accessories that we sell in our facility in Brooklyn. We offer screen printing, embroidery, digital printing, cut and sew. So, there's nothing that you might want to achieve on your apparel or accessories that we can't do here in Brooklyn, New York. When you're looking for promotional products, we have cups, we have bags, you want pens or loose leaves, just about any product you could think of, it's in our promotional products line. One of our core categories is our graduation line. It's everything you could think of in the entire world of graduation. Your ceremony is going to be filled with diploma cases that are handed out to students that are wearing our graduation cap and gown. They're flipping our tassel. They're leaving with our backpack, the valadictorian, the saludiatoran, the honor cords, everything that you could think of in graduation. We take that and we package it with a senior t-shirt. We package it with a towel for the summer. We find the most creative way to make a package for you so that your graduation distribution for the kids is easy and something very simple to just give to the kids. One of my favorite areas of all the products we offer is our branding division. It's something that I feel has the most impact on a school building. Definitely for the student count, the parents and the teachers themselves. Making this the home of the Tigers and really feeling that brand gives our kids that commonality. working with direct promotions to promote uh our programs, our CTE programs in the building uh to bring about spirit and joy and focus. We put the vibe, the positive energy around the building as much as we could. We did lots of creative things with window shades and and pillars and promoting the CTE programs in the building. When we're done branding a building, we want it to be a place that the next year parents come to enroll. They want their kid in this building. [Music] I'll often get a phone call that says, "We saw what you did at that school. Please come visit us." So, for example, you walk into the lobby of a school that used to have these supportive pillars, columns for construction, but we come in and we wrap them in vinyl. Now all of a sudden you walk into a trade school and you see political figures, inspirational figures, motivational signs. Direct Promotions is always uh working step with me um giving me updates, wanting to know feedback, uh very quick, very efficient. They have come through for us 110%. I never have to worry about anything. And that's one of the most amazing things about them. We knocked it out of the ballpark with all the work that we've done. I'm definitely looking forward to continuing to work with him in the future. Reach out. Let's schedule an appointment. We'd love to show you everything we can offer, and we look forward to serving you. [Music]
