Industry News:
Utah Business magazine has selected Namifiers founder, Bryan Welton Jr, for their upcoming feature piece “Top 40 Under 40″, which will honor the state’s most accomplished young business owners.  The article will release in the February issue, and an awards reception will be held for all the honorees later that month.

Recognition Review, a leading magazine to the Awards and Recognition Association, highlighted Namifiers in a 4-page article for their August Addition.

STAT HIGHLIGHTS:

SPECIALITY: Namifying. We came up with that term because we had grown a little tired of the words “customization” and “personalization.” We decided that what we do is “namify.” If you have a logo or a name, we’ll put it on something.
-
PHILOSOPHY: Our philosophy is to namify the world. Our goal is to provide outstanding customer service and be a leader in the industry, especially for efficiency in production.
-
FIVE-YEAR BUSINESS GOAL: In 5 years, our current revenue will be seven times higher than what it is now. We’re expanding into a couple more industries; for example, we’ve recently gone into signage and billboards. We are offering more branding and advertising solution. A company with a $20,000 budget can get every single thing it needs for a year-long campaign done here.

Tips For Life: Improving From Yesterday by Bryan L. Welton, Jr.

Rather than add things to your life to do better, it is often more effective to subtract the things that stop your progress.  May I suggest 4 things to subtract that can dramatically open and expand our vision.

Fear of Failure:  Failing is not always bad; often, it forces us to be creative.  We know we have overcome before, so we keep a positive outlook.

Blaming:  If you feel you aren’t progressing, who do you blame?  Find that thing or person and figure out a way to stop the blaming.

Complaining:  Solutions or recommendations go a lot farther than complaints.  Complaining only frustrates the situation and expresses emotion, but avoids resolution.

Justification.  Too often we find ourselves comforted by simple words of justification from within.  The best way to succeed is to compete with ourselves each day, to be better than we were yesterday as an individual, a team and a company.

I can’t help but think of all of the millions of products we have sent out and how many awesome clients we have and feel a sense of satisfaction…

After attending a monthly HR & Cultural Development Committee Meeting with the Board of Namifiers gathered around the Conference Table, I had the rare opportunity to witness genious in action. Those in attendendance all agreed that Namifiers is the best place to work in the world.

Discussion Items:
*Good People = Simplified Processes + ____?____ = Growth
What would you put in the blank? Attitude, Accountability, Motivation…

When CEO, Bryan Welton had the opportunity to fill in the blank he retold a recent story that happend just this last week. Apparently, one of our account executives found her way in his office and announced to all within earshot that she was thankful for her current job stating, “I just want to tell you that Namifiers is the Best Place to Work…”

To Bryan’s amazement, Bryan returned the compliment and said, “Can I give you a $20 to go around telling people that all day?” Read the rest of this entry »

When Bryan Welton, president and CEO of Namefiers received his first order from Hewlett Packard, he could’ve shouted from the rooftops with joy. But when asked for the company’s graphics department, he was absolutely speechless. Read the rest of this entry »

Utah Valley Business Quarterly | Summer 2008 utahvalleybusinessq.com

Namifiers Founder Bryan Welton knows the name of this Day in the Life game — flattery. For starters, copies of Business! and Utah Valley magazine adorned desks and coffee tables of the company’s Springville office (major bonus points). He frequently started sentences with, ‘Not to butter you up…” And he’s probably going to name his soon-to-be-sixth child after me.

The irony, of course, is that ther’s no butter needed. Welton’s role at Namifiers, which is a manufacturer of identification department - while still letting employees do their jobs. And his attitude is contagiously optimistic. “Progress,” he says, “I could talk about progress for hours. I love figuring out ways to become better.”

I think the name for that is success.

‘LIFE’ ACCORDING TO BRYAN L. WELTON JR.
On Growing Pains - When you grow you are constantly changing. The hardest part is finding talent.
On Risk - I don’t really consider myself an entrepreneur. I’m big into the business model, and every risk I take is a calculated. If the numbers make sense, I do it. If they don’t, I don’t do it.
