PPAI Expo 2022

January 15, 2022

Behind Your Design's very own Chelsea Mills was invited to talk to PPAI Live during the expo - watch the video below:

The Behind Your Design Team had such a great experience at the 2022 Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) Expo. As well as meeting so many great new manufacturers we were excited to strengthen our relationships with many of the manufacturers we work with currently.

We are excited to be able to work directly with manufacturers and suppliers to be able to offer our clients unique and effective branded merchandise and promotional products to help boost their marketing to both current and new customers as well as employees.

Studies show that 85% of promo product recipients remember the advertiser. Behind Your Design can help you make branded merchandise a successful part of your marketing strategy for 2022 and beyond.

The Expo provided us with a great opportunity to meet with manufacturers and supplies to see and feel the newest branded merchandise items on sale as well as attending educational classes to provide us with marketing ideas to help our clients integrate branded merchandise and promotional products.

For some added excitement at the Expo Behind Your Design Owner, Chelsea Mills, was selected to appear on the PPAI Expo Live webcast to talk about our experience attending the show in 2020 and then again this year. You can view the video at the top of this page:

Finally, not trip to Las Vegas would be complete without having a little fun and the Behind Your Design Team certainly did that! On Sunday, before the PPAI Expo began we explored the Strip and thoroughly enjoyed watching the water fountain show at the Bellagio (click here to learn more).

Then on Wednesday night we were thrilled to attend the first ever Promopalooza Party at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. We loved touring the stadium, visiting the locker room and walking the field - what a unique experience.

How Alive & Well IV Therapy found the right marketing pieces to reach their audience while staying on budget.

From a New Website to a Grand Opening: Supporting the Growth of Superior Lawn & Landscape

March 9, 2026

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.

Dry Bags Might Be the Smartest Spring & Summer Promo Item

March 6, 2026

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.
