PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: HEADWEAR

PAYETTEHATS One of Boise’s greatest start-up stories of the last decade is Payette Brewing. Off the back of their success, undoubted hard work & great beer, they recently relocated to a brand spanking new facility. They have a new bar, huge new production equipment – and a fantastic swag store.

Everything was in place except Some super-dope new hats. We were delighted they chose NBP to design and manufacture their headwear line. Our creative lead, Kiel Johnson, worked to create a series of hats that bring attention to their ever increasing line-up.

A comment from Rhys:

Promo is about so much more than just placing a logo on a product, often the shortcoming of a big-boot online vendors. Take these hats. We’ve all seen quality headwear – and, well, limp headwear. At NBP we feel picking the right product is key, however, on this project we asked ourselves if by adding variety to the line-up “would allow the merchandise line to look more robust”. We suggested a series of different hats, fused them with multiple design options and BOOM - Payette created a merchandise line that their target audience craves to wear.

SERVICE SPOTLIGHT: HOLIDAY GIFTS

THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR IS ALMOST HERE Recognize your clients + colleagues: Did you know that when it comes to holiday gifts, we’ve got the whole package? (pun intended, btw) We’ve always felt like the quality of our gifts were strong - however, we felt something was missing.

This year, we decided to address our compulsion to do more by adding on several new & free services. We are committed to provide a stress-

free process to you, our clients, so that all you need to worry about is having fun!

We will show you our best ideas, and refine them to your needs. We will not only create your goods, but we will also package/wrap and deliver them to you right on schedule so you can spend more time sipping eggnog, and less time stressing!

Targeted product choices are the best way to make an impression on your audience

RETREAT PRINT Branding. Exposure. Communication.

How can a company just deal with one of these areas? At Name Brand we feel they work together. Many of our larger clients use us to produce all of their marketing material. We focus on not just ordering PROMO 101, but work with our clients to bring a cohesion to all items they give to their customers.

From in house design, print production at untouchable prices, to warehousing and distribution of the material – NBP has provided a one stop service for the Retreat Group.

NBP TRAVELS:

KEVIN & RHYS TAKE THE CITY It’s been a few months since Kevin and Rhys hit the road together. Out team at HQ, teased us preempting “the road is hard” tag line we bore them all with. Salt Lake City has become a wonderful territory for NBP. Our client base has grown significantly in the last 12 months - this trip was one of our most successful yet. Clients from Selecthealth, The University of Utah, Utah State University, Overstock, and American Express all collaborated with us on upcoming projects.

Capping the trip off, NBP learnt off the back of our creativity, we won our game day giveaways, for the NBA! NBA to NBP... BOOM!!!
