An Open Letter to Promotional Product Suppliers, Distributors and Buyers:
By now you know that thousands of Californians have been devastated by the recent firestorms. The loss of property and possessions is extraordinary.
As a promotional product distributor based in the center of the disaster, I've asked myself, "How can I use my contacts and resources to help those in need?"
The result is this initiative to rally the vast and collective resources of the promotional product industry. My goal is to collect and distribute surplus promotional products that can provide utility or comfort to the victims, as they began the long and expensive process of rebuilding their lives.
I pledge to donate my time and efforts to manage the logistics of strategically distributing your donated items to the social service and government agencies serving the victims throughout Southern California. One of my clients, BDS Marketing, has generously offered their warehouse and resources for the inbound shipments.
If you have goods or resources to contribute, or have questions or suggestions, please call my cell phone at 949-394-4742.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
