  In this practical session, Jamie Lorenty will help promotional products professionals rethink how to stay top of mind without becoming repetitive, annoying, or transactional. The session will explore how belief in the power of branded merchandise, client-focused research, thoughtful touchpoints, and stronger follow-up language can turn routine outreach into meaningful engagement. Participants will walk away with practical ways to create better reasons to reach out, stay visible between orders, spark curiosity, build trust, and support stronger client outcomes.

  Learning Outcomes:

  • Recognize how belief in the value of branded merchandise shapes confidence, creativity, and more outcome
  • focused sales conversations.
  • Identify client, industry, event, and business insights that can create relevant reasons to reach out before an immediate need exists.
  • Evaluate follow-up habits that may cause outreach to feel repetitive, transactional, or easy to ignore.
  • Apply more intentional engagement methods and messaging to stay visible, spark curiosity, and strengthen client relationships.
