When I read this article on Drudge and Las Vegas Review-Journal I was sure glad that Namifiers didn’t have anything to do with it. Namifiers is a trusted source and leader of the industry for ID recognition products - We offer same-day service, price beat guarantee plus an additional 5-10% savings for custom printed lanyards, name tags, vinyl banners, badge holders, custom embroidery, screen printed apparel and promotional products. 

NOTE: Today is April 1, 2008 and a good time to pause on this story: Apparently someone sent many months ago the GOP party in Nevada a large box of one inch red printed lanyards to their county party office. IMO, it was probably the same adult content website company that paid for the custom printed lanyards for the Clark County Republican Convention Read the rest of this entry »

50″ Plasma TV Winner:  Omner Rivero
Presenters:  CEO Bryan Welton  &  COO Chris Jensen

Congratulations everyone for a great year at Namifiers! The company Christmas party was filling, in more ways than one. The food was great, and the prizes, I’m sure, were even better! Thank you all for coming and celebrating together a job well done here at Namifiers for the 2007 year. As I think of this past year, I thought of some good memories that were made, and I wanted to just reminisce on a few of them:
1. One particular customer calling and needing 100,000 lanyards in about 10 days, and we made it happen!
2. Another customer called and ordered 32,000 nametags, shattering the previous record for the largest quote ever to close (what job next year will break this one).
3. The most succesful ARA trade show in Las Vegas
4. Another customer ordering 40,000 lanyards, and then having them keep calling back every week to order 2,000-5,000 more.
5. Bringing in our Embroidery Machine
6. One movie star customer really liking her embroidered sweatshirt that we made for her and the entire movie cast.
I know I’ve missed some other good ones, but these are just a few of the many memories that were created this year at Namifiers 2007. Thank you all for a great year, and let’s all continue to create great memories for years to come.

-Creation and preservation of a progressive environment for all members of the organization

-Procurement of a vast array of high quality recognition products

-Mastery of superior customer service skills to ensure increased client acquisition and retention

-Conversion of our competitors into clients through principles of efficiency and feasibility

My article this month is simple.  I have chosen to put the mission statement in place of it.  This statement was created by Namifiers for Namifiers and it’s great customers.  Please read it regularly.  We have printed it in large format in the processing area so everyone can see it every day.  If we treat ourselves and our customers, the way the mission statement states, then this will be a great place to work and an even better place for our customers.

Local manufacturer, Namifiers LLC, earns national limelight with its selection to the 2007 Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies in the United States.  Inc.com ranked Namifiers 39th in the country for Business Services and 717th overall, highlighting their 468% growth curve over the last three years.

Click on pictures below to see list of top Utah Valley companies making the Inc 5000 list…

The 2007 Inc. 5000 list measures revenue growth from 2003 through 2006.  To qualify, companies had to be U.S.-based and privately held, independent - not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies - as of December 31, 2006, and have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2003, and $2 million in 2006.

“The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy - the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan.  Read the rest of this entry »

Our objectives are to fulfill the orders with the quality and efficiency we have guaranteed our customers.  This develops recurring value in the business.  We start projects with machines or products that provide a high and perpetual return over time. 

Another part of operations at Namifiers is to improve the systems, functions, and processes that we use to supply our products to the customers.  I ensure that we are always maintaining and growing so that we don’t slide backwards and we don’t have any new losses. 

Essentially, there are more legs than that, but each leg on the stool is crucial and my part is just as crucial as marketing and sales.  They can market it, they can sell it, but if the product doesn’t go out on time or if it doesn’t go out with a high level of quality, the whole thing comes crashing down. 

We start with a concept for a product.  We find out what is necessary to make that product in a broad strokes planning meeting.  We try to anticipate potential problems or errors.  We start building our system around those potential errors and problems. 

As the product is launched, the volume of orders is small and we can focus our effort on these few orders.  As the production volume picks up, we find more errors and more problems and we then have to go back and restructure the system. 

We design our process so that products can be processed in the same day.  If an order doesn’t ship on the same day, we see that as an error; a problem with the system.  We find out what training and tools are necessary to correct the error and improve the process. 

Over the course of a few months, we have developed a system and a process that needs very little maintenance.  This process is something that we repeat dozens and dozens of times for every product that we sell. 

There are a variety of manufacturing techniques.  Namifiers uses a lean manufacturing technique in order to service the client in the appropriate amount of time that we have advertised.  This means we keep the orders in a constant flow.  We try not to have any back orders.  We like to stock enough inventory in the building so that when an order comes in we have all the pieces ready to go.  We don’t have to tell a client that we’re waiting for materials to arrive. We have the labor we need. 

We live, breathe, eat, sleep, and drink the idea that every order can be done today.  Many tasks that take a half a day or a day for our competitors to complete only take us an hour or two.    

The more we look at an order and say, “Is this big or small, is this important or unimportant?” the less we fulfill our mission statement.  Here at Namifiers, we set aside the notion of prioritizing.  Every client that has an order in the system is as important as the next.  Our objective is the same, which is to produce and ship that order today.  This is something that Bryan founded the company on, which is the idea that nobody is more important.  No order is too big or too small.   

Over the years, we have developed high-quality accessories which add value to our products.  We have machines and materials that essentially turn a normal nametag into what I like to call the BMW or Mercedes Benz nametag.  Our magnets are stronger.  Our adhesives are stronger, more permanent.  Our inks are thicker and more durable over time.  We are also distinguished from competitors because we process orders faster.  So, most of our customers are impressed by the extremely high quality of our products and that we provide them in a small amount of time.  

On a month to month basis, we will have orders for companies such as Coca-Cola and Intel.  We processed an order for the president and vice president of the United States just a couple of weeks ago.  These big-name orders excite the team and the executives.  New employees are pretty floored when they see who our clients are.  Some people come in and look at our client roster and don’t believe us.  They think we’re hamming it up but quite literally, we do business with some of the biggest names out there.  And that’s exciting. 

More than that, I think people get really excited and have a lot of fun with their individual areas.  Chris has spent quite a bit of time developing the idea that each person owns their particular part of the system.  They have a high level of ownership, feelings, and behavior.  They feel an extremely high sense of responsibility and pride in the products they create, almost as if their name is on it.  And they get to tell the other processing departments, “We just made Coca-cola’s lanyards, so take that!” and then engraving can come back and say, “Well, we just engraved the president’s nametag, so take that!”  So it’s kind of a fun atmosphere and that creates a great sense of pride and ownership.
