Two Allen ColorCraft Employees Recognized By SAAGNY As 40 Under 40 Honorees

 

BIG NEWS! Our own Alexis Wahl and Will Grant have been chosen by @saagny1 as 40 Under 40 honorees. Learn more at https://www.saagny.org/SAAGNY-News

Alexis Wahl is a Graphic Artist/Product Specialist. Alexis graduation from Art School in San Francisco and joined the Allen Company in the Arts and Graphics Department. Alexis quickly showed knowledge and deft skill to rise up and earn a promotion with increased opportunities. Alexis has been instrumental in two areas where the company has expanded: vinyl decorating on coolers and getting Allen Company/Allen ColorCraft into the yoga brand Manduka yoga mats and towels. She was originally hired as our inside Graphic Artist but has never done just that. She stepped up to help organize our warehouse, setting up locations and making inventory more efficient. Alexis has always been willing to step outside her comfort zone, step up to help and step in to any new adventure or project. She is not only a giving person in her work life, but also in her personal life. Whether it's attending bike rallies or fund raisers, she is there to help people in need. She is a true asset to The Allen Company and a blessing to know personally.

Will Grant is our Internal Information Technology Officer. Will applied for a second shift job with Allen ColorCraft and was making boxes and doing general labor when this quiet and extremely sharp young man was encouraged to apply for a position within the Branding Department. This turned out to be Will's forte and a good fit for all when he became our Internal Information Technology Officer. As a result of the job change and subsequent promotion, Will was able to attend the PPAI Product Responsibility Summit and has been the driving force at Allen ColorCraft for product safety and compliance. Allen ColorCraft is lucky to have Will Grant on our team.

We are pleased and proud to have both of these innovative and accomplished people on our Allen ColorCraft team. Thank you to SAAGNY for the recognition of their accomplishments and contributions.

WHY CHOOSE PROMOTIONAL MUGS FOR A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN

Promotional mugs bring extended value to election campaigns.

Mug sales in a candidate's online store provide needed campaign dollars. Campaign supporters like promotional mugs both as collectibles and as a functional item they will use frequently.

Promotional mugs keep a candidate's brand on display each time the mug is used. Political campaigns can use this visibility to their advantage with interesting logos and appealing messages on a bright color like our red AMP11 mug!

Studies show logoed mugs are more effective than television or radio spots and at a fraction of the cost. One study showed 57% of people were able to recall the advertiser on a mug versus 32% for radio and 28% for TV.

IT'S HIP TO BE HAPPY

See Hip Bottle on Our Website

Oh, those first days of April when the air is warm and the world is busting out in color!

It just makes us happy. And carrying our bright orange Hip canteen bottle on a springtime walk makes us even more happy because through Hip's partnership with Water for People, every Hip product purchased provides two days of safe drinking water to people in need. You buy a stylish water bottle and someone across the world takes a safe drink of water. Because it's Hip to Give Back. 

22 ounce Hip Bottle - the sleek way to stay hydrated. Reminiscent of a hip flask, the shape is flatter than the standard water bottle, allowing Hip to be easily carried in backpack or handbag. Be Hip. And spread a little good in the process.
