“GIDI Promotions has earned its reputation as a powerhouse in promotional merchandise, helping companies truly stand out and achieve their goals—whether that’s to strengthen their trade show presence, boost employee morale, or build relationships with customers,” said Juli Cordill, Premier Press CMO/Managing Director. “Joining GIDI Promotions with Premier Press gives us even more opportunities to help our clients achieve the full potential of their marketing and advertising campaigns. We are thrilled to welcome GIDI to the Premier family.”
The GIDI Promotions team has over 100 years of cumulative experience in the marketing/advertising and promotional product industry. Its team excels in embroidery, silk-screening, and other promotional merchandise solutions that transform everyday items into standout branding and engagement tools. The GIDI showroom, which will move to Premier’s facilities, helps clients envision their creative possibilities and empowers businesses of all sizes to develop innovative promotional products that fulfill any need.
“Organizations face countless hurdles when navigating the branded merchandise landscape. It has been my team’s passion to help our clients get the most ROI out of their activations, without needing to educate themselves on thousands of products, options, and vendors,” said Kate Ivory, GIDI Promotions owner and founder. “Branded merchandise is often one component of a complete marketing campaign, and we are excited to join the experts at Premier so we can bring any branding or promotional campaign to life. As two longstanding Portland companies whose missions and cultures blend perfectly, I can’t think of a better fit for my team.”
