2Design & Creativity.

Good Design Adds Value.

of the most important capabilities.

The creative process, developed specifically for you, goes be-yond the use of graphic artists. Appropriate quality and func-tional products are selected so your program is successful. The result of poor product selection is increased maverick buying − which yields both higher prices and deviations from correct brand standards.

Given that cost savings & brand integrity are two of the most vital reasons for having a program, the product selection phase is key in realizing these benefits. As we have identified the importance of this phase of program development we have buyers on staff whose sole charge is product selection. These as-sociates are always looking to find new, innovative products and getting exclusive rights to these products before anyone else. They’re cultivating ideas from shows domestically and abroad to stay ahead of the product curve, of-fering suggestions for new programs as well as ideas for keeping an existing program fresh.

Brandspiration is the art of taking one’s brand to inspire others.

That inspiration may be in the form of a call to action, the showing of appreciation, the creation of goodwill or the reinforcing of recognition. Through the use of promotional products we help our customers present their brand to their customers. We are the drivers of Brandspiration!

Even more important than the products, is your brand represented on each product. However perfect a product might be, it has no value if your logo is not represented perfectly on that item.

Some of the People Who Inspire Us to Brandspire Them.

The brands for each of these clients are as important to them as yours is to you. We take our clients

brands very seriously and it is our mission to showcase your brand correctly 100% of the time.

Technology & the Internet.

Online retail sale are projected to grow from

$225.5 billion in 2012 to $343.2 billion in

2017, according to eMarketer, April 2013.

Geiger Corporate Programs embraced the

e-commerce trend early on, investing heavily in

technology that has allowed us to nimbly adapt

to our clients’ evolving needs. The majority of

Corporate Programs employ a fully integrated,

custom-built web-catalog for easy online ordering.

In recent years there has been an increase in

demand for the ability to place orders through a

customer’s e-procurement platform. In either case,

the true benefits of online ordering can only be

realized if orders can be entered and processed

directly, without manual intervention. In this way,

we reduce overall processing costs and fulfillment

times, resulting in lower prices to you.
