Debbie Ward, a San Diego native, is a 15 year veteran in the fast-paced, every changing world of the promotional products and custom packaging industry.
After receiving her M.B.A. from San Diego State University in 1991, she accepted a position as a manager for Home Depot but quickly realized the “nuts and bolts” of the retail world was not for her. Through a friend, she was introduced to the promotional products industry and it has been nothing but high-impact branded merchandise ever since! Her goal for each client is to help take them – via the power of promotional products – from mere brand awareness up to brand preference.
Before moving into a full time sales career, Debbie successfully managed all aspects of a million dollar promotional products distributorship. This base gave her critical perspectives into customer service and innovative problem solving. Looking for new challenges, she ventured out on her own in 2003. Perhaps her client’s sum it up best when they say:
“I have worked with Debbie for many years and as I have changed companies, I have continued to work with Debbie as my supplier for promotional products. Besides being a great person to work with, Debbie is very thorough in her work, understands her client’s needs, and has always come up with creative and cost effective solutions for all my promotional product needs. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a great promotional products supplier.”
“Debbie is a lifesaver! She always comes through for us with great promo items at a great price and delivered on time. Debbie is very professional while also being super friendly. She’s extremely thorough in her communication and I can always trust that my items will look great and arrive on time for my important event.”
“Debbie provides amazing customer service, always provides creative ideas on a whim, and has the outstanding ability to work within any budget.”
Debbie’s corporate experience and creative expertise coupled with her M.B.A. has provided her with unique insights into the needs of businesses of all sizes and it has served her clients well as she continuously strives to find solutions enhancing their marketing efforts. More than that, she is always willing to think “outside of the box” to come up with fresh and new brand marketing ideas to get her client’s name recognized and repeated!
Debbie is happily married and the proud mother of three boys. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, taking long runs, and curling up with a good book. She is also an active volunteer at her son’s school, cub-scout troop, the Humane Society and assists as needed within the local PTA.
