Expansion and Strategy: Looking West

Fresh off a record-setting year, Namify™ Chairman, Bryan Welton Jr., announced their approval for expansion into a second U.S. branch location, to be opened up March 8th in Portland, Oregon. Additionally, the Board of Directors selected inside-hire David Komp to spearhead the expansion as Branch Manager of the Portland office.
Namify LLC is nationally recognized for their promotional manufacturing (screen
printing, embroidery, engraving , wide-format printing, etc), graphic design, and brand management services. The branch location in Portland is intended as the first of many regional locations to come, as Namify™ prepares to offer even more direct service to a growingly dynamic customer base.

“Our business is to vitalize people’s brands, the very concepts that are dear and guarded by our customers, and to do it more efficiently than anyone else in America,” explained Welton. “These additional locations will allow us to increase our availability, visibility, and trust-relationships with clients in their own market area.”

Namify CEO, Christopher Jensen, was pleased with the unanimous choice of David Komp for the Branch Manager position. “David has a great sense for business, he has a winning attitude, and above all he understands how important Customer Service is to our team,” said Jensen.

Mr. Komp is currently employed as the Customer Service Manager at Namify™ headquarters in Springville, UT. Having been with the company for two years, he will finish out his given responsibilities in Utah at the end of February, and prepare for the ribbon cutting ceremony in Portland two weeks later.

“Opening the Portland branch will be an amazing opportunity,” said Komp. “It is a
diverse, yet very tight-knit metropolitan area where we have quite a large grouping of clients. The face-to-face interaction there will allow me to do what I love most … building relationships and making those same people look smart and amazing.”

Initially, Namify™ intends to house processes at each location that allow for 24-hour turnaround on small to mid-size jobs, and then cooperate with headquarters to meet any high-volume needs.

The store location in Portland, as well as the details of their ribbon cutting ceremony will be released at a later time. Worldwide, Namify™ serves over 120,000 customers, including over 60% of Fortune 500 businesses.

A Monumental Celebration

This year’s Christmas Party was fun-filled with lasting tributes, pivotal announcements, and loads of laughs.

The unveiling of the new name and company logo evoked standing applause from an audience of 400 employees and guests, gathered at company headquarters in Springville, Utah. The excitement, in part, was attributed to now having a solid name to accurately depict our broadened capabilities. Originally founded as The Nametag Source in 2001, then changed to Namifiers in 2006, Namify has far outgrown its beginnings of just making nametags and placards for other local businesses. Over the past decade, we have incorporated an array of in-house processes that empower clients from all industries to handle their branding needs with one universally-competitive producer.

“We feel strongly that altering our brand to Namify will sure up our relevancy in the global marketplace,” Welton explained in a separate interview. “We are very well-rooted on the manufacturing side, but we have also dedicated an equally-aggressive pace to pre and post-production support in terms of graphic design, brand management, search engine optimization, and other marketing services. To ‘namify’ and to brand are synonymous; we capture the whole experience into one affordable, client-driven solution.”

Mr. Welton revealed that our company will press forward under the executive direction of Christopher R. Jensen, who has occupied our position of Chief Operations Officer for the previous eight years. Having been with the company from its founding, Jensen was the clear candidate to help maximize Namify’s impact in the coming years.

“It is always humbling and exhilarating to step into this type of a role,” said Jensen. “We have such a great mentor, associate, and friend in Bryan, and I am very enthused to further execute strategy with him and the Board of Directors to grow the Namify family.”

Eat That Frog

Tips For Life By Chris Jensen One of my favorite books is called, Eat That Frog, by Brian Tracy. The principle of the book is this: if you had to eat a frog every day, you should make that the first thing you do because, undoubtedly, the rest of your tasks for the day would be much, much easier. Likewise, we all run into tasks that are, by our standards, difficult or unpleasant, so our tendency is to put them off. Procrastination is an easy thing to fall victim to, and before we know it, we are justifying all of our actions to make up for not eating our frog.

How do we overcome procrastination? Plan, Plan, Plan.

Write your daily plan down and then at the end of each day, report back to yourself on how you did. Did you eat your frog first? Did you accomplish the other aspects of your plan?

If you didn’t, see what stopped you and make adjustments for the next day. You will be amazed at what you learn about yourself and how fast you can make changes in your life to accomplish more in less time.
