Grand Blanc Township, MI - October 11, 2024


Behind Your Design is proud to have played a crucial role in the grand opening celebration of John P. O’Sullivan Distributing’s new 200,000-square-foot warehouse in Grand Blanc Township. As a leader in promotional products and event coordination, Behind Your Design was responsible for organizing every detail of the event, including vendor management, entertainment, promotional materials, and overall event logistics, ensuring a seamless and memorable experience for all attendees.

Behind Your Design coordinated the event from the ground up, managing multiple aspects to ensure smooth operations. We meticulously organized the event floor plan, mapping out vendor areas and guest seating, while ensuring traffic flow and accessibility. With an eye for detail, our team crafted the run of show, managing the schedule for speeches, entertainment, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony.


Our staffing efforts ensured that the event was well-supported by knowledgeable personnel, from the event registration team to the on-site assistance for city, state, and government officials. We were also responsible for managing the entertainment, coordinating a local band and background music, enhancing the celebratory atmosphere throughout the day.

Behind Your Design worked with a variety of trusted vendors to bring the event vision to life. From caterers to audiovisual technicians, we curated a team that delivered top-notch services. Each vendor was carefully selected and managed to ensure that all aspects of the event ran smoothly, and that guests experienced a first-class grand opening.


Promotional Items & Branding

A key part of our involvement was providing high-quality promotional items that captured the brand and spirit of John P. O’Sullivan Distributing. Behind Your Design supplied custom signage, banners, koozies, mouse pads, pens, and swag bags, which were distributed to guests. These branded materials created lasting impressions and reflected the company's commitment to both innovation and community.


In addition to these items, we also designed and manufactured custom Hawaiian shirts for the event staff. These shirts featured the John P. O’Sullivan Distributing logo as well as logos from some of the well-known brands they distribute. The eye-catching, personalized shirts helped unify the event’s theme and made the staff stand out while reinforcing the company’s partnerships with key brands.


We also produced large-scale event signage and banners, ensuring visual branding was prominent throughout the warehouse and event space.

At Behind Your Design, we enjoy partnering with businesses that are passionate about what they do. That is exactly what we found while working with Superior Lawn & Landscape. From launching a new website to developing branded merchandise and planning a grand opening celebration, this project focused on supporting the continued growth of a company proud to serve its clients. A Website Designed to Reflect the Brand One of the first steps was creating a website that showcases the professionalism, experience, and range of services Superior Lawn & Landscape offers. The goal was to build a strong digital presence that clearly communicates the company’s capabilities while making it easy for potential clients to explore their services. Clean layouts, organized service pages, and strong visuals guide visitors through the site while highlighting the company’s landscaping expertise and portfolio. The website also incorporates content from clients and partners, allowing real voices and experiences to help tell the story of the brand.

When you're choosing a spring or summer promo item, the real question is simple: Will someone actually use this? If you live anywhere near lakes, boats, kayaks, camping, or summer travel, dry bags are a no-brainer. These aren’t just cute swag items. They’re so functional. You put your phone, wallet, keys, towel, inside, anything you don’t want getting wet. Roll the top down. Clip it shut. It seals everything in. If it falls in the water? Your stuff stays dry. That alone makes it valuable. And here’s what we love about them from a branding standpoint, not many companies are doing them yet. Everyone has water bottles and tote bags. A dry bag stands out. Even better? It actually lives with someone all summer long. In their kayak. On their boat. In their camper. At the beach. At tournaments. On vacation. That’s real visibility. If you're planning a golf outing, marina promotion, summer festival, or outdoor corporate event, this is the kind of promo piece people will thank you for and keep.
