Every year, we look forward to combing through the Inc. 5000 list to see which of our friends in the promotional products industry made it among the esteemed ranks. This year, more than 60 companies related to promotional products made the list. That’s a pretty impressive chunk!
There are a few companies that may exist outside of the traditional supplier-distributor model, but we tried to include any company that deals in items like branded signage, custom apparel or digital printing services. We also counted a handful of creative agencies that listed promotional products or branded merchandise among their capabilities, even if it wasn’t their primary function.
Still, there are plenty of familiar faces on the list. iClick, which saw a huge sales boost last year thanks to the popularity of PopSockets, found itself at No. 1208 this year with 339 percent growth. We also counted 10 Proforma-affiliated companies among the ranks, along with SoBe Promos, Brandito, The Icebox and more.
Read on for the full list of promotional products companies that made it to this year’s list. (Also, combing through this massive list is a pretty daunting task, so it is entirely possible that we missed a few. If that’s the case, please let us know and we’ll fix it right away!)
