Member Spotlight: Logo Loco LLC

In a BNI chapter, every seat represents one profession, and at BNI A1 Networkers the promotional products seat belongs to Logo Loco LLC, represented by Teigh Wade.

If you have ever handed out a branded pen, worn a company T-shirt to an event or grabbed a free water bottle at a booth, you already know what promotional products can do. Teigh's job is to help businesses choose the right ones and get them done well.

What Logo Loco does

Logo Loco is a woman-owned business based in the West Valley that helps companies promote themselves with high-quality branded merchandise. In other words, they help you put your logo on things people will actually keep and use.

Promotional products cover a wide range. Depending on the goal, a business might be looking for:

• Apparel for staff, teams or event volunteers
• Giveaways for trade shows, open houses and community events
• Client and employee gifts that say thank you
• Everyday items that keep your name on a desk, in a car or in a kitchen

The hard part for most business owners is not finding a product. It is choosing something that fits the audience, the budget and the timeline, and then making sure the logo looks right when it arrives. That is where having a promotional products specialist in your corner helps.

Why branded merchandise still works

Digital ads disappear the moment someone scrolls past. A useful item with your name on it can sit in front of a customer for months. For local service businesses in particular, that kind of quiet, repeated reminder can be the reason someone calls you instead of a competitor.

Branded merchandise also helps businesses look established and organized. A crew in matching shirts, a real estate agent with a thoughtful closing gift or a booth with good giveaways all send the same message: this company takes its brand seriously.

Why June is the time to plan ahead

It is hot in the West Valley right now, and for many businesses the summer is a little slower. That makes it a smart time to plan for the busier months ahead:

• Fall events and festivals come back once the weather cools down.
• Back-to-school brings school, sports and club orders.
• Trade shows and expos pick up in the fall.
• Holiday gifts for clients and employees go much more smoothly when they are ordered early, not in a December rush.

Custom items take time to design, approve and produce. Starting the conversation in summer gives you more choices and less stress.

How you can refer Logo Loco

A great referral for Teigh is:

• A business owner preparing for a trade show, expo or community event
• A company that needs uniforms or branded apparel for its team

A simple way to start the conversation: "Have you thought about what you are handing out at your next event?" If the answer is "not yet," connect them with Teigh or point them to logoloco.co.
