The New England Promotional Products Association (NEPPA) of Manchester, N.H. has recognized Hub Pen of Braintree, Mass. with its 2008 Best Customer Service award.
The award was presented to Michael Fleming of Hub Pen during NEPPA’s annual Holiday Extravaganza aboard the cruise ship Boston Odyssey. “It was a great evening,” said Fleming. “Our customer service group works so hard all year. It was an opportunity for them to receive some well-deserved applause.”
Joseph Fleming, Hub Pen’s president, stated the company goals simply—functionality and customer service. “The first and foremost job at Hub is achieving functionality of our writing instruments,” said Fleming. “It seems like a simple task, but when customers order from Hub Pen, they expect and receive a product that provides effortless writing quality and solid structure. And because the imprint is as important as the pen, we strive to provide spectacular imprints for each customer and job.”
Bob McGaughey, Hub Pen’s customer service manager commented, “We know that our continued success depends on how we treat our customers and a large portion of our success comes from our knowledgeable customer service reps.” McGaughey continued, “Our intention is to delight customers with every order.”
“At Hub, we don’t measure products in terms of expensive marketing campaigns or high prices,” added Fleming. “Our products work because they provide something spectacular for our customers. Our goal is to ensure that our customers really enjoy writing with Hub pens.”
