In support of the local business community, Namifiers teamed up with the Provo-Orem Chamber of Commerce to bring about the 2nd annual Utah Valley Executive Summit, hosted at Sundance Resort.  At the meeting, chamber officials held a regional press conference to unveil the conglomerate formation of the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce, an effort to strengthen business ties across Utah County.  Namifiers contributed with several hundred dollars in identification products and graphic design for the event.

Keep the Shower Curtain in the Tub
Conrad Hilton, the founder of the Hilton Hotel chain, was asked during a party celebrating his life if he had a word or two of advice for the millions of travelers who stayed in his establishments every year. “Indeed I do,” Hilton replied. “Please leave the shower curtain tucked inside the tub.”
Interestingly, President Howard W. Hunter, a beloved leader for the LDS Church gave similar advice at a family gathering just before he died in 1995.
It seams like a funny piece of advice, but in reality, that small observation saved Hilton millions and millions of dollars over the next few years; and for President Hunter, he taught the principle of being practical and of being a good steward to his posterity and to the thousands of church members that read his biography afterwards.
Often times the great accomplishments in life derive from paying attention to the little things. Being observant and detail oriented are precursors to success.

What is Wickify?
Wickify is a private label brand of technical apparel, launched by Namifiers in Quarter 1 of 2009.  The brand offers race directors (for events like marathons, 5K and 10K runs, and triathlons) an affordable moisture-wicking shirt to give out to participants, at similar price points to the more generic cotton-blend shirts that are common to many events.  The aggressive price points give both small and large market races the benefit of better bottom lines, as well as reliable production windows of 3-6 weeks for most orders.
Beyond affordability, the Wickify brand benefits event coordinators in a number of ways:  the higher quality giveaway improves retention for future races, the design of the shirt allows for complete customization of material and printing, the tag template accommodates race-sponsor information, and the sales quantities make it possible for even the smaller-market races to participate.
For years, Namifiers has secured high-volume distributing and embellishment rights for hundreds of brands, including labels like NIKE Golf, Columbia Sportswear, Adidas, Champion, Hanes, PING, Carhartt, and more. The demand for Wickify, however, surfaced from niche client feedback over the last two years.  Race directors were describing the challenge of giving their patrons a high-quality experience without blowing up their budget or having to charge higher and higher entry fees.
Namifiers used this collective feedback to research and tailor entry-level shirt designs.  Those were then consumer-tested in 2008, and the initial runs were made in 2009 for the Relay Series, first in Los Angeles and then with their larger Utah race

Badge Boss, the wholesale division of Namifiers, will be exhibiting at the PPAI Expo in Las Vegas starting January 12, 2010.  As one the industry’s largest shows, this event draws an average 12,000 distributors within the Promotional Products Association International.
