Promotional Partners is an award winning woman owned, NC HUB Status company. We incorporated in 2007 with only myself and husband Keith. Since then we have grown our internal team; which is full of women! Miranda, handles our graphic design and overseas order processing of the team- she started with us in 2008. Sara glues together the pieces of your order, the art, the status and the quoting- she started with us in 2016. We've had a lot of female interns over the years and our newest team member Jessica joined us 2 weeks ago as part of our marketing efforts.
