ABOUT US
In 1982 Associated Premium Corporation was founded to serve the banking and savings & loan industry as a supplier of premium and incentive merchandise for their customers. Almost immediately it became clear to APC that providing imprinted promotional merchandise to our financial industry clients would be a natural addition to our business and a strong benefit for them. The promotional advertising part of APC has steadily grown. We have attracted some of the most experienced and talented professionals in the promotional products/specialty advertising industry. These people are far more than simply sales representatives of APC. Each one is an experienced creative idea-focused consultant, ready to design total promotional programs for your business.
By 1984 APC was also active in sports marketing. We are now recognized as one of the top sports marketing companies in the country. We provide promotional concepts and merchandise for many Major League and Minor League professional sports teams including MLB, NFL, AFL, NBA, NHL, and others. The expertise in offshore manufacturing and direct importing we have developed for our sports clients, now provides ever-increasing value for our corporate clients. The discipline of "on time every time" necessary to succeed in sports-event promotions carries through to all our work.
The premium and incentive portion of our business has also continued to grow. Helping businesses motivate and reward their employees for achievement and their customers for loyalty is the foundation that Associated Premium Corporation is built upon.
