Charley Johnson, executive vice president of Salt Lake City-based Snugz USA announced he and a few other industry youngsters created Promo35, a new Facebook group focusing on using community to help educate the next generation of promotional product professionals.
“We have close to 600 members and it’s only three weeks old, but I would like to see this in the thousands by the third quarter,” said Johnson, who sees the group as a way for a younger generations of professionals to benefit from the experience of those who have been in the industry longer.
“We are asking that all age groups join so us youngsters can learn about the industry,” Johnson added. “We also want to focus on the back-office people, the many who never attend a tradeshow nor do they receive a monthly publication like Counselor, PPB or Promo Marketing.”
“Very few of us know all the ins and outs of the industry and I believe the more everyone understands the better,” continued Johnson. “Getting back-office people involved will make for a more engaged employee which in turn will strengthen their support for the company they work for. More engaged employees make for stronger companies which can only make our industry stronger,” he concluded.
Johnson can be contacted directly (888) 447-6840 or emailed at [email protected] with any questions.
