Expanding Our Promotional Merchandise Expertise With GIDI Promotions Acquisition

Organizations have an incredible opportunity to build genuine, lasting relationships with their customers—and it’s the not-so-typical interactions where you have the best chance to stand out.

The Premier Press team has been at the forefront of creative services innovation for nearly 50 years, serving as trusted partners to some of the world’s largest brands and local favorites. We’ve empowered teams to turn ordinary experiences into something memorable, spanning everything from branded environments and event marketing to direct mail and influencer marketing.

Thanks to our unparalleled capabilities and advanced equipment, we can complete entire projects from start to finish; ensuring supreme quality and cohesion to fulfill any client need, no matter its elements. 

Branded and gifted merchandise in particular has a powerful potential to build a lasting connection with diverse brand audiences, and we’re constantly looking to elevate the branded merch experience.

That’s why, almost one year since we joined forces with KG Specialties, we are thrilled to welcome GIDI Promotions to the Premier Press family. By combining our 100+ years of experience we are deepening our branded merchandise expertise and expanding our ability to complete full-service projects entirely in-house.  

GIDI Promotions: A Branded Merchandise Powerhouse

GIDI Promotions is a women-owned branded merchandise company founded in Portland in 2003. 

Kate Ivory launched GIDI after working for years in advertising. As a purchaser of promotional products, she saw first-hand how frustrating (and often disappointing) the experience was. 

GIDI’s purpose was to give organizations a trusted partner who could help them create truly unique and giftworthy branded merchandise, without them needing to sift through hundreds of products, materials, and vendors. At the end of every partnership, GIDI’s goal is for clients to say “Glad I Did It!” 

Based on the incredibly positive reputation they’ve earned, it’s safe to say they accomplished that goal. 

GIDI’s design showroom has been an innovation catalyst for organizational leaders to see the range of promotional merchandise they can create, helping inspire their approach. We are honored to now host the GIDI showroom at Premier’s facilities in Portland and welcome Kate and her entire team to the Premier Press family.
