AdPro

This is Fred Ball for Zions Bank, speaking on business.

In 1997, Jon White helped his brother, Mike, found a small start-up company. Through extensive grassroots marketing, their product, a simple lip balm attachment, became the fifth best-selling product of its kind within just a few years.

When the company sold in 2003, Jon wanted to implement what he had learned about branding a company, building lasting relationships and succeeding in a competitive market. His vision was to create a company that would be a complete marketing resource—saving customers time, hassle and money.

In 2004, Jon founded AdPro Marketing and divided his new company into three divisions: promotions, apparel and printing. Each division is set up to be a complete resource for building company identity, customer and employee incentives and advertising.

The promotional division offers more than 250,000 items that can be printed with a company's logo. The apparel division offers screen printing and embroidery on anything from casual to corporate wear, and the printing division includes an in-house graphics team that will assist clients in creating a professional design with high-quality printing. In addition, AdPro offers a complete line of eco-friendly items such as recycled or recyclable products, organic apparel and eco-friendly solvents for printing.

Jon has always felt that the success of the company is contingent upon the success of its clients. He teaches his sales reps the importance of earning business through outstanding customer service, client appreciation and competitive pricing. While AdPro serves clients across the United States, Jon's main focus is to build business within the state and give back to the community. AdPro is based in Ogden but now has satellite offices in Provo, Salt Lake, Kaysville and Logan.

As AdPro continues to grow, Jon says he will do his best to help clients save time, hassle and money.
