If you see Namifiers employees racing through the hallways, pretending to be secret international spies named Finn McMissle and Holley Shiftwell, or trying to disguise themselves as a “Monster Truck,” they’re probably just reminiscing about watching Cars 2. Our CEO, Bryan Welton, Jr., treated Namifiers employees to a free showing of Cars 2 at the Provo Towne Cinema on Saturday, June 25th. Before the actual showing, employees enjoyed a complimentary breakfast of doughnuts, milk, and juice. It was a nice chance for employees to be able to enjoy time with their families while being entertained by a funny, heart-warming world of cars, racing, friendship, and good old fashioned fun.

Thanks to the executives and their assistants who helped out to make this possible!

Over the last 8 months, we’ve noted a jump in frequency of high-volume job opportunities. There are certainly numerous factors that play into this trend, among them being the imprint of a price-sensitive economy, encouraging many companies to shop around before renewing existing purchasing agreements.

Part of our relocation strategy to this larger building, in 2006, was to house the type of operation that could accommodate all sizes of orders across multiple production lines. Then, the ensuing tasks of organization and balancing a sustained inventory literally set the framework for our efficiency as a company, which in turn supports our ongoing reputation.

What does it all mean? We are poised … poised for the masses, the throngs, the big fish. Consider some of the recent jobs we have been contracted to do:

• 308,000 Custom Name Tags – International Shoe Retailer

• 120,000 Custom Lanyards – Premier Concert Series

• 100,000 Custom Lanyards & VIP Passes – Professional Sports Network

• 40,000 Custom Name Tags – Professional Support Company

• 20,000 Custom Name Tags – Promotional Distributor

So, as we interact with friends, customers, each other, and other acquaintances … let’s always exude the confidence in our capabilities to produce any sized job, in the right time frame and competitively priced.”

Namifiers CEO Bryan Welton Jr. doesn’t believe in jet lag . . . it stands in the way of progress, and it certainly doesn’t deter him from representing Namifiers best interests around the globe. More than ever before, it is critical that Namifiers maintains an active and watchful role within our industry outlook. Bryan’s most recent travels took him to Southern China to negotiate a potential $600,000 per-year deal for Banner Accessories. Both he and COO Chris Jensen spent several days networking with raw goods manufacturers at the Canton Import & Export Fair. While there, they developed the relationships needed to save our company tens of thousands of dollars for some of our targeted processes like label printing, packaging and external branding.

For the last month, you’ve probably noticed the increased activity in remodeling some of the interior areas of our building. Mike Westring and Jake Richardson (along with the help of our IT Department) have been hard at work, renovating office space to accommodate our growing teams in Graphics and Customer Service. The Graphics area has undergone demolition to open it up for a more synergistic atmosphere (don’t worry; we relocated our talented designers before we tore down the walls). Noteworthy projects that preceded the Graphics area include the newly re-finished extension to the Customer Service offices (southwest of Purchasing upstairs) and the Production Showroom in the front offices.

As a company, we recognize the need for continued efficiency in order to meet our goals for growth and expansion. We thank everyone for their hard work and patience as these improvements come together in the coming weeks.

Last month, our Namifiers processing team successfully produced and assembled 100,000 Lanyards, Badge Holders and Custom Inserts for the NHL Playoffs in just 41 days. As an extra effort to make their tight deadline, 30 Namifiers employees and several family members gathered here at the warehouse on April 11^th to assemble one of the final batches to be sent out, completing 20,000 in that one evening. Mixed in with the work were lots of laughs, music, pizza, and even some surround-sound movie watching. Many thanks to our production staff and all those volunteers who pitched in to make this order a success!

To celebrate Easter, Earth Day, and the arrival of spring in general, we gathered together for some amazing food and enjoyable company for our latest Carne Asada party. If you’re new to Namifiers, and this was your first Carne Asada party, rest assured that this was not a one-time event. Carne Asada parties are one of our favorite traditions here at Namifiers. We want to give a big shout-out to our CEO and the admin staff for continually putting on great events like these that strengthen the camaraderie of our entire team here at work. Also, thanks go out to Celso Roque, who doubles as our wonderful Carne Asada chef!

Thanks to everyone for coming to our St. Patrick’s Day party! We appreciate everyone who brought a dessert to participate in the contest—the refreshments were truly excellent. We’d like to congratulate Melanie Hansen for earning the most votes in the dessert contest.
