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.


Event Coordination & Logistics

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.


Vendor Management

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.

The event, attended by city, state, and government officials as well as key industry leaders, was a tremendous success. Attendees praised the smooth coordination, entertainment, and professional atmosphere. Our contribution to the grand opening reflects our commitment to excellence and our ability to deliver full-scale event services for our clients.

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.
