This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
Laura specializes in brand awareness, marketing and advertising. She helps companies get their names out and put themselves in front of customers. Many times Hands On Promotions partners directly with marketing departments to illuminate brand strategies. This includes everything from promotional items to marketing campaigns.
While Laura says anybody can create marketing materials online, Hands On Promotion distinguishes themselves by focusing on customer service. When you work with them, Laura makes sure you know she'll personally be taking care of you. This is how she successfully competes against Internet companies and competition from China. She also offers products made in the U.S.
Hands On Promotions is a great example of why women-owned businesses have increased nationwide in the last 15 years, at a rate 1.5 times the national average. Today over 8 million women own companies. Utah has also been named as one of the Top 15 States in the Nation to start a woman-owned company. Networking has been an important source of growth for Laura. She's learned to operate lean and outsource to other small businesses. This is a win-win because it keeps costs at Hands On Promotions down and supports small businesses.
Laura's customers know if they call her, she can make it happen. This has helped her grow long-term relationships of trust. You'll find many of the clients she's serving today are the same clients she served 14 years ago when she launched Hands On Promotions. Where promotional materials are concerned, she says you can't risk using an unknown company that may not deliver on time or in budget.
