The original principle behind 4imprint has always been about making the process of buying promotional products easier and les ... s expensive for our customers. So in 1987, we started our mission to sell promotional items in a direct fashion. At that time, ‘direct’ meant a catalog and a toll-free number. We were sure this more efficient and convenient process would save customers' time and the absence of a visit by a commissioned sales person would allow 4imprint to pass substantial savings on to our customers. That first catalog was 12 pages long, went to 250,000 businesses and it wasn't much to look at by today's standards — but it was a thing of beauty to us — and it marked the beginning of a journey that has allowed 4imprint to become the largest direct marketer of promotional products. Also, critical to our vision for the company has always been the belief that in order to offer incredible value, we must provide incredible service — and service is all about people. We strive to create an environment where people are valued and respected. After all, associates who are passionate about their work are naturally inclined to share that enthusiasm with everyone they encounter. read more
