Custom Publications Made Just For You!
Peabody Insurance Agency teamed up with us to build their annual magazine publication. They use these as part of their marketing plan to bring awareness to their clients about all the different aspects of their company.
Custom publications can be a valuable tool in your marketing strategy for several reasons:
- Tailored Content: Custom publications are designed specifically for your target audience. You can create content that speaks directly to their interests, needs, and pain points. When your content resonates with your audience, it's more likely to engage and convert them.
- Brand Authority: Custom publications allow you to showcase your expertise and thought leadership in your industry. By consistently delivering high-quality, informative content, you establish your brand as a trusted source of information, boosting your credibility and authority.
- Differentiation: In a crowded marketplace, custom publications help your brand stand out. It sets you apart from competitors who might rely on generic, one-size-fits-all marketing materials. A custom publication demonstrates your commitment to going the extra mile for your customers.
- Engagement: Quality content can drive engagement and build stronger relationships with your audience. Whether it's a magazine, newsletter, or other content type, if it's well-crafted and provides value, it can encourage readers to stay connected with your brand.
- Nurturing Leads: Custom publications can be an excellent tool for lead nurturing. By providing valuable content over time, you can move potential customers through the sales funnel, turning leads into loyal customers.
- Personalization: Personalization is a key trend in marketing. Custom publications enable you to tailor content to individual preferences, behavior, and demographics, further enhancing the relevance and impact of your marketing efforts.
- Long-Term Impact: Custom publications often have a longer shelf life than other forms of content. A well-produced magazine, for example, can sit on someone's coffee table for months, providing ongoing exposure and reinforcement of your brand message.
- Tangibility: Physical custom publications, such as brochures, magazines, or catalogs, provide a tangible and memorable experience for your audience. People often remember what they can touch and hold, enhancing brand recall.
- Data Collection: Custom publications can also be a source of data collection. You can track reader engagement and responses to various content pieces, helping you refine your marketing strategies and better understand your audience.
- Multi-Channel Marketing: Custom publications can be used across various marketing channels. You can repurpose content from your custom publication for your website, social media, email marketing, and more, maximizing its reach and impact.
However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of custom publications depends on the quality of content, the relevance to your audience, and how well they align with your overall marketing strategy. Additionally, the cost and resources required to create and distribute custom publications should be carefully considered to ensure they provide a positive return on investment.

When it comes to promotional apparel, the details really do matter. One of the best ways to elevate a sweatshirt or hoodie is through raised embroidery, a technique that gives logos a bold, dimensional look you can see and feel. We recently created a custom zip-up hoodie for the Maryville Retreat Center using raised embroidered logo detailing. The result was a piece that didn’t just display their brand, it brought it to life through texture and craftsmanship. For Maryville Retreat Center, the goal was to create apparel that felt welcoming, durable, and aligned with their mission. The raised embroidered zip-up hoodie achieved that balance, offering a clean design with just enough texture to make it feel special. It works well for staff, volunteers, and guests, making it both functional and meaningful. What Is Raised Embroidery? Raised embroidery, sometimes called 3D or puff embroidery, uses specialized stitching and sometimes a foam base to lift parts of a design off the fabric. Instead of lying flat like print, the logo stands up from the garment, creating depth and texture. It’s a simple technique that instantly makes apparel feel more premium and intentional. Why Raised Embroidery Works So Well It elevates the look and feel Raised embroidery adds instant dimension, which naturally makes apparel feel higher quality. Even simple logos look more refined when they have texture and depth. It creates a strong first impression Because the design physically stands off the garment, it catches light differently and stands out without needing bold colors or oversized artwork. It’s built to last Embroidery is stitched into the fabric, not sitting on top of it. That means no peeling or cracking over time, even with regular wear and washing. It works especially well on hoodies and sweatshirts Heavier fabrics like fleece hold embroidery well, allowing the raised stitching to stay clean and structured. It helps strengthen brand recognition A textured logo becomes more noticeable and memorable, helping your brand stand out in everyday settings. Raised embroidery turns apparel into something people actually notice and remember. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in how your brand is perceived.

Not all promotional products are the same, and that is a good thing. Different goals call for different types of items. Sometimes a simple, cost-effective giveaway works perfectly. Other times, a higher-end product creates a more meaningful experience. We recently worked with Interactive Training Systems to create custom embroidered Carhartt cooler backpacks as a gift for their employees. This is a great example of how thoughtful promotional products can elevate a brand and strengthen team connection.
In industries like engineering, manufacturing, and automotive, innovation never slows down. The companies that stand out are always thinking about what comes next. That mindset should show up not just in what you do, but in how you present your brand. We recently partnered with Interactive Training Systems to create a logo design that reflects both where they have been and where they are going. The end result is a modern brand identity that supports their continued growth. Why Intentional Branding Matters A logo is often the first impression your business makes. It should quickly communicate who you are and what you stand for. For companies in technical industries, that means finding the right balance. Your branding needs to feel modern and forward-thinking, while still showing experience and credibility. Every detail plays a role, from typography to color to overall style. A strong logo helps build trust, show expertise, and set you apart from competitors. A Thoughtful Approach to Logo Design Interactive Training Systems came to us looking for a logo that captured both their history and their future. As a company focused on technical training and innovation, it was important that their brand felt precise, smart, and adaptable. We started by getting a clear understanding of their business, their audience, and their goals. From there, we explored concepts that included: Clean, modern lines to show forward movement Subtle technical elements tied to engineering and manufacturing A polished look that reinforces trust The final design feels current, while still staying true to their foundation. Branding That Grows With You Your brand should evolve as your business grows. Too often, companies treat logo design as a one-time project, but it should be something that supports you long-term. This new logo gives Interactive Training Systems a strong foundation for what is ahead. It reflects innovation while still respecting their history, which is key in an industry like theirs. Why the Right Partner Makes a Difference Good branding comes from collaboration. It is about working with a team that listens, understands your vision, and knows how to bring it to life. At Behind Your Design, that is always the goal. We focus on creating branding that not only looks good, but actually works for your business. If your current branding no longer reflects where you are headed, it might be time for a refresh. The right logo can make a bigger impact than you think.

Custom branded golf balls are one of those promotional items that just make sense. Whether you run a golf course, a tournament, a resort, or simply want a unique way to connect with clients, they offer a fun and practical way to keep your brand in play. Golf balls are naturally tied to relaxation, leisure, and connection . That makes them a powerful marketing tool. When your logo is on something that people are actually excited to use, your brand becomes part of a positive experience. Every swing, every round, and every time someone reaches into their bag, your business is right there with them. For golf-related businesses, branded balls are an easy win. They are great for member giveaways, tournaments, pro shop merchandise, and corporate outings. If you are not in the golf industry, they still make an excellent client gift or a memorable handout that feels personal and unexpected. It is a simple way to say “thanks for your business” while staying top of mind long after the first tee. Behind Your Design has recently created custom golf balls for The Ally Challenge , Epic Machine , and Lewis & Knopf . Each one was designed to reflect the brand while still feeling clean, professional, and ready for the course. And let’s be honest, it is hard to find a promotional item with more staying power. These are not getting tossed in a drawer and forgotten. They are getting teed up, driven down the fairway, and maybe even lost in a water hazard or two. Either way, your brand is along for the ride. When it comes to marketing, combining business with leisure is a hole-in-one strategy. It builds connection in a relaxed environment where people are already in a good mood and open to engagement. That kind of brand association is priceless.
