Action Water Sports 2024 Customer Appreciation Event

August 13, 2024

For over a decade, we've had the privilege of planning the Action Water Sports Customer Appreciation event, starting our partnership back in 2012. Our role has evolved into a comprehensive service where we handle every aspect of the event. From the initial brainstorming of the theme in late spring to ensuring every detail is perfect on the day of the event, we're there every step of the way.


One of the unique traditions we've established is the design and production of a custom Hawaiian shirt each year. This shirt has become a highlight that guests eagerly anticipate, adding an extra layer of excitement and continuity to the event.


We collaborate closely with the Action Water Sports team to create a memorable experience for their valued customers. We guide the theme selection and extend our expertise to coordinating apparel, decor, music, bar services, food, photography, signage, invitations, and staffing. Our goal is to ensure that each event is not only seamless but also unique, leaving a lasting impression on all attendees.

Why should you consider hiring an event planner? Here’s what we bring to the table:


  1. Deep Expertise and Experience: With years of experience planning events, we have the knowledge and industry connections to ensure that everything runs smoothly. We help avoid common pitfalls and maximize your budget for a successful event.

A great staff appreciation gift should be thoughtful, useful and connected to the organization. For the Crim Fitness Foundation , custom reverse umbrellas combined function with standout branding. These 46-inch umbrellas feature full-color sublimation on both sides of the canopy, giving the Crim brand plenty of room to make an impact. Branded Inside and Out The outside features the Crim Fitness Foundation logo and brand colors. Open the umbrella, and custom artwork of runners making their way through Flint is revealed inside. Using colors from the Crim brand, the artwork celebrates the organization’s connection to running, movement and the Flint community. Full sublimation on both sides of the canopy allows branded umbrellas to go beyond a logo. Colors, patterns, illustrations and original artwork can become part of the design.

Custom jerseys are a fun way to take spirit wear beyond the standard T-shirt or sweatshirt. With fully customizable designs, they can be created around your school, team, organization or event and made to feel completely unique. At Behind Your Design, we can customize jerseys with your colors, logos, graphics, names, numbers and more. Full-color dye sublimation gives you plenty of freedom to create bold designs across the entire jersey while keeping the finished piece comfortable and wearable. We’ve created several custom jersey styles for our clients, including football and baseball jerseys for Michigan State University Fall Fest. Each offered a different look while giving MSU a memorable piece of custom spirit wear that still felt true to their brand.

We had a fantastic time at the 2026 Michigan State University Vendor Fair ! It was a great day of connecting with so many wonderful people including current customers, new faces and plenty of potential future clients from departments and organizations across campus. One of the biggest hits at our booth was our T-shirt bags , which definitely got people talking. We also had lots of interest in the fully sublimated, two-sided umbrella we created for the CRIM Fitness Foundation. It was a great example of how a promotional product can go beyond simply adding a logo and become something truly custom and memorable.

There’s something special about taking the time to recognize the people who support your business throughout the year. Whether you’re thanking loyal clients or celebrating your employees, a thoughtful holiday gift is a simple way to show your appreciation. We love working with Hackney Jones Wealth Management , and this year, we’re helping their team get an early start on their holiday client gifts. Together, we curated several gift package options so they can choose something that feels just right for each recipient. Their custom gifts include cappuccino/soup mugs, stemless wine glasses, blankets and travel mugs. Each item was chosen with quality and function in mind because a great branded gift doesn’t have to be elaborate. Sometimes the most appreciated gifts are simply the ones people will use again and again.
