Hammond Greetings & Promotions

Introduction: Before moving to San Antonio in May, 2020, I lived in Colorado Springs for almost nine years and before that I lived in the Salt Lake City area where I started my business in 1st grade. I was selling Christmas cards off the back of the Boy's Life magazine to win prizes. My father knew a printer who had albums of Christmas card samples and he asked the printer if I could sell from those so I could earn dollars instead of prizes. I set out with those albums and was selling to neighbors. Eventually I established a relationship with the supplier of those albums and in my teenage years realized a business would order more cards than a neighbor, so I started cold calling banks, law firms and other businesses out of the phone book. Until I was old enough to get a driver's license my parents would drive me to the businesses who said I could bring some albums of cards in for them to review. My Christmas card business put me through college and in the early 90s I added promotional products to my business to make it a year-round business. Thanks to the internet I've developed client relationships with businesses all over the United States and in Canada. I had a consultant who was traveling around the western United States stop in to visit with my customers who I have not met in person. He asked them why they chose to do business with me. He said that their overall response was that I was Prompt, Personal and Professional. I enjoy taking care of my customers and making sure they receive their products, whether personalized greeting cards or logoed promotional products, printed correctly and delivered on time.
