Issue #16

Welcome to Merch Makers Monthly! This month, we see your Pride purchases making a difference, learn about welcome kits, and much more! 

Team Genumark is hosting a suite at the biggest branded merch event of the year, PPPC NATCON in Toronto! RSVP to join us next week, where you can hang out with our team, get ideas for holiday gifting, win great prizes, and much more. 

We are thrilled to share that Genumark has been named as a Great Place to Work by PPAI! This annual accolade is far more than a title – it’s a testament to the cornerstone of Genumark’s culture: our people. In 2025, 116 companies across the U.S. and Canada made the list, underscoring the growing emphasis on workplace culture within the promotional products industry. 

We are proud to report (see what we did there?) that, thanks to your Pride-related merch purchases this year, we have been able to make a donation of almost $1700 to Rainbow Railroad!! They are a global not-for-profit organization that helps at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety worldwide. Thank you for your support! 

First impressions don’t just happen — they’re created. When a new hire, client, or partner first opens a welcome kit, it’s more than a box of branded items; it’s a story about your company, its culture, and how much you value the people who are part of it. We’ve put together examples of great welcome kits that fit any budget. 

This fall, our team is heading west to showcase the best branded merch for the fall and holiday seasons. Join us in Calgary for our annual Merch Meet-Up on September 24 at the Marriott Downtown Hotel – RSVP to reserve your spot now!
