Dear ,
 What happens in Vegas....
We just returned from the PPAI EXPO and have been busy updating our website with some of the products that we saw. You can take a quick look at the posts from this link:
Aside from the emergence of name brands the other highly notable change is fashion. It wasn't that long ago that promotional apparel was as alluring as a mesh and foam cap. At the EXPO we tried on everything from the latest Tommy Bahama to Woolrich. If you are looking for fashion without the brand there were aisles of stylish microfiber shirts from camp shirts to fine herringbone cotton dress shirts. Honestly the selection was as broad as Nordstroms or Macy's.
The message is clear, our clients have spoken and have been heard. If your promotional requirements call for brand names and fashion the products are at our finger tips. |
| The Power of Strategic Partnerships |
|
 While attending the PPAI I had the opportunity to attend several functions that were sponsored by iPROMOTEu. While you may have never heard of them, they are an organization that I consider to be a key strategic partner of MCM.
iPROMOTEu is a nationwide network of independent distributors. They provide a suite of services that supports MCM's back office operations, leaving us to fully concentrate on you, our valued clients. Each and every order is seamlessly processed so that it is delivered to your required date while letting us concentrate on being creative.
The other major value is that iPROMOTEu aggregates the purchases of its 450 members to give us the purchasing strength of a $50,000,000 distributor. It's the best of both worlds. You get the service that you demand and MCM can offer you the most competitive pricing. Try getting that combination from a "faceless" mega distributor?

| Featured Product: Laminated 100% Recycled Shopping Totes |
|
 One of the most remarkable and swift changes of our day to day behavior is the almost overnight adoption of the shopping tote bag. Once we all got the message about the evil of those handy white plastics bags, we made the switch.
We are big believers that anytime you can send multiple messages, including that your brand is an early adopter of an important initiative to help our environment, then you have a winning combination.
The challenge has been to find a bag that looks great, meets a competitive price point and does not require a large minimum order size. That's were the laminated 100% recycled shopper fits in.
This bag gives you a great look and feel while being intelligently priced. Take a look at our most recent blog spot to learn more. We know this is a winning combination. Click on the image to view the blog.
