2009 Supplier Excellence Awards
For several months, distributors were able to visit promomarketing.com and cast their votes for their favorite suppliers and products. In the end, nearly 50,000 votes were cast for the 184 finalists. The races were close in some places, and distant in others, but for the most part the top companies of last year were able to hang onto their first place positions. The few exceptions were SanMar Corporation claiming the caps and headwear title, Express-A-Button placing first in badges and buttons, It’s All Greek to Me (a Corvest Company) winning in toys and games and Pro Towels Etc.’s victory in towels and textiles. While some may prefer to see a closely competitive list with a lot of shake-ups and changes each year, it would be hard for anyone to not find solace in the stability presented, given the persistent economic struggles of this year.
