About us

01 | About us

About us We are a boutique, full-service branded merchandise agency — specializing in company stores, popup order platforms, special order, decorate on demand, and brand activations — delivering scalable, brand-appropriate solutions and premier client service to organizations of any size. We break through the competitive clutter creating only one result that screams, “Wow, that’s cool!”

02 | About us

One boutique agency.

Many capabilities.

Premier client service.

03 | About us

Customer service is a state of mind, not a department Our greatest differentiator isn’t a capability — it’s how we show up for our clients.

We’re a boutique agency defined by premier client service. That means every client relationship gets a level of attention, responsiveness, and creative investment that larger vendors simply cannot provide. Everything is designed by our in-house team, fulfilled through our dedicated fulfillment center, and managed end-to-end with a level of premier client service that our clients tell us they’ve never experienced anywhere else.

04 | About us

05 | About us

A client is more than an order We don’t measure success by order volume. We measure it by whether our clients feel like they have a true partner in their corner — and whether they’re proud of how their brand shows up in the world. We’re here to assist in extending your brand experience at every touch point in your sales cycle.

And we take that very seriously.

06 | About us

We specialize in five capabilities: company stores, popup order platforms, special order, decorate on demand, and brand activations — covering the full range of premiums that support corporate events, employee gifting, recognition programs, and everything in between.

We strive daily to exceed your expectations, demonstrate integrity, and always remember why we’re here — because of you.

What, who, when and “why Grapevine?”

Experience runs deep here. For more than two decades, Grapevine Designs has been building branded merchandise programs and evolving alongside emerging technology, consumer expectations, and retail trends. But over that time, we’ve built something more than a collection of capabilities. We’ve built an agency model designed to manage the entire branded experience.

Our e-Commerce solutions are never one-size-fits-all. We provide a range of online solutions, including: permanent company store programs, time-sensitive ordering platforms, inventory-free programs, employee incentive and award programs and more. A significant number of clients require our teams to take their online store experience to on-site events to sell products, which we do frequently.

We build what’s right for your organization and scale it to fit.

Our online company stores feature high-end functionality and full customization, and we take pride in adhering to your company brand guidelines and reflecting the look and feel of your corporate brand.

3. We have some serious tenure in this industry. Our sales executives are tenured, trained professionals who will protect your brand like a Momma bear. We don’t just let anyone have this role, you need to prove you have what it takes and that means you need some lengthy experience to make the cut.
