Our history & our philosophy

The original principle behind Proactive Marketing, Inc. has always been about making the process of buying promotional products easier and less expensive for our customers.  So in 2000, we started our mission to sell promotional items in a direct fashion.  

That first catalog was 12 pages long, went to 250,000 businesses and it wasn't much to look at by today's standards — but it was a thing of beauty to us — and it marked the beginning of a journey that has allowed us to become a leader & innovator in the promotional products industry.

Also, critical to our vision for the company has always been the belief that in order to offer incredible value, we must provide incredible service — and service is all about people. We strive to create an environment where people are valued and respected. After all, associates who are passionate about their work are naturally inclined to share that enthusiasm with everyone they encounter.

In essence, we run the company by "The Golden Rule" — treat people as you want to be treated.


This philosophy is evident in everything we do. It's in our guarantee to you:

  • 100% satisfaction
  • Free samples
  • Free proof of your imprint

And it's evident in the way our associates treat you, each other, and the community.  We regularly participate in blood drives, the Salvation Army's Adopt-A-Family program, animal shelter fundraisers, penny wars to raise money for charities, the local holiday parade, and much more.

Today

That single, original 12-page catalog has evolved into several catalog titles covering the entire range of promotional items — everything from give aways, to embroidered apparel, to trade show displays and beautiful logo’d business gifts. Our websites allow you to view thousands and thousands of additional products — more than we could ever fit in one of our catalogs — and give you the chance to look at additional images of the product, zoom in to see the detail, request samples and much more!

The business has grown substantially over the years as well. Today we serve businesses throughout the U.S., Canada & the UK. 

And we work with organizations of all shapes and sizes — from most of the Fortune 500® to small family businesses and from small churches and schools to major universities and hospitals.
Even though the times and the tools have changed, our basic philosophy hasn't.
