There are thousands of promotional products companies – just in the U.S. alone. So how do you decide? Many times it’s because of someone you know, some relationship, someone you trust. But in any case, in the end, you stick with a company because you trust they’ll provide you with the service and products you need. Like in any successful business.
A member of ASA for +15 years, You Name It Specialties, Inc., lives up to its name. They were one of only 47 promotional products companies voted as the “best companies to work for” by PPB Magazine in 2022. Many of their customers are contractors and subcontractors, and figured it was good business for them to become an ASA member. YNIS Principal, Jan Meuth, has been an active volunteer in the local ASA chapter and currently serves on the Board.
PPM Magazine evaluates distributors, suppliers and business services firms of all stripes and sizes, from businesses with less than 10 employees to national and multinational operations with workforces numbering over 1,000. Companies included in the competition had to be nominated by an employee. Survey topics included benefits, resources, culture, leadership and company direction. Companies were also required to meet a percentage of completed surveys. The survey results were then tabulated to reveal this year’s top companies.
The 20+ team members of You Name It Specialties enjoy happy hours and social outings, quarterly staff lunches (minus leadership!), catered food, and community service activities.
What employees say: “The culture that is cultivated at You Name It Specialties is the healthiest and most encouraging I have been around in my professional life. They equip and motivate everyone to do their best. It really feels as though we are a team striving to meet our goals.”
What You Name It Specialties CEO Josh King says: “… Each member of our team contributes to our success and the workplace environment, so this is truly a team award. Thank you YNIS team for making our organization a place where I want to come to work every day! We have an amazing work family, and I am honored to consider each member of this team a true friend.”
