PPAI’s mission is to be the voice and force to advance the promotional products industry, and the Association’s business services members play a critical role in that mission.
The promo industry’s business services providers support industry companies’ operations with a wide range of resources and capabilities. This week, PPAI Media is spotlighting the consulting services they offer promo businesses. Many providers offer consulting for technology, marketing, administrative or sales needs. No matter what issue your company is currently facing, there’s help out there.
Many of these business services providers will be on hand at The PPAI Expo 2024, which takes place January 15-18 in Las Vegas.
