Anthony Abatzis from PCNA is back on JaySapChats. We get into everything from $4 drinkware and Hydro Flask to Stanley, Mophie, Nimble, Skullcandy, bag charms, journals, Herschel, Got Bag, Wellable and more. Some products I love. Some I don’t. And some come down to one simple question: is the product actually worth what you’re paying for it?

For me, it always comes back to the same thing: my clients come first. I need partners who answer the phone, solve problems and help me deliver for the people who trust me with their business.

Beata Miller from Jules Schenk & Associates has been in the promotional products industry for 20 years, and she brought plenty of products and plenty of opinions to the conversation.

We look at everything from custom playing cards and premium drinkware to awards, dye-sublimated apparel, umbrellas, blankets, lip balm, and more.

But this episode isn't just about showing off products. We talked about what actually matters when sourcing promo: quality, customization, lead times, pricing, and finding products that go beyond the same old giveaways.

Nobody asks to borrow a permanent marker, they ask to borrow a Sharpie. Senior Brand Manager Sarah Wiskind sits down with Jay to talk all things Sharpie, from the history of their first permanent marker to the full catalogue of products on offer today, on this episode of Great American Summer.
