About

Poppy Promos is a true labor of love. 

After over 19 years in this industry, I still genuinely enjoy what I do, and Boy Howdy does that feel good!

It’s all pretty simple:  My client base is comprised of local mom & pop businesses to Fortune 500 companies – many of whom I’ve worked with since we started 2005. We produce high-quality work at a fair price and always strive to bring a little extra to the process:  a creative product idea, suggestions on best design reproduction, a special offer, and sometimes, even personal delivery of your order if you need it fast.  In other words, we go the extra mile, not only because we can, but because we take pride in good work and stellar service.

Offering screen printing, over 800,000 promotional items, and embroidery work, I guarantee your satisfaction with your order. Period.

Community is a priority:  I first and foremost collaborate with Bay Area and California-based vendors.  This not only supports our local economies, it also saves on shipping costs and reduces the overall ecological footprint of an order.  Dollars spent in locally-owned businesses have 3x the impact on our community as dollars spent at national chains. When shopping locally we simultaneously create jobs, fund more city services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood improvement, and promote community development.  And that just seems like the right thing to do.

I look forward to partnering with you!

Sincerely,

Mimi Thomas

PS   In case you were wondering, we’re named after the state flower of California – yes, the Eschscholzia Californica – or the California Poppy.

From “Education through Recreation” by Lawrence Pearsall Jacks (1932):

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.”
