About Us
About Us
Purple Elephant Promotions was founded in April 1996 in Vermont, USA. The promotional products company launched at a business-to-business tradeshow in Burlington, Vermont…. complete with a family of paper mâché Purple Elephants that greeted show attendees and directed them to the festive Purple Elephant booth. We got great television exposure on the news that day and it set the tone for a great run.
During the ensuing years, Purple Elephant Promotions has won seven international awards as a promotional products distributor, for the successful use of promotional products as an advertising medium for clients. During those years, our managing member, Darrell Marriott has also had over thirty-five articles published in industry publications, and has presented at regional and national industry shows and conventions on seventeen different topics.
What’s different?
In 2002 the business moved to Utah, USA where it has been since.
There have been a couple of iterations of Purple Elephant in Utah, including Purple Elephant Apparel in Orem, Utah, a promotional products distributor, and a screen printing and embroidery producer with thirteen employees.
Purple Elephant Promotions, LLC, a promotional products company is now in West Jordan, Utah, USA. It has recently been joined by Linda Marriott, who brings thirty-four years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist. Linda successfully made learning fun for children through the games she created. As a new division, she will produce educational games using her experience with children.
What is the same?
Our founder and Managing Member Darrell Marriott, MAS (Master Advertising Specialist) has been along for the whole ride and is at the helm today.
Also unchanged is our commitment to creative promotional products to promote your brand.
We are committed to finding and sourcing the industry's best products at reasonable prices.
We use our thirty-five-plus years of promotional product company experience every day to benefit our customers. While there are few barriers to entry in the promotional products industry, there are formidable barriers to producing quality products from competent, honest, communicative, and timely manufacturers who respect client deadlines.
We always respect YOU, your budget, and your timelines. We are very upfront about what is possible and what is not. In nearly all cases, we can help…but if we can’t, we tell you upfront so there are no surprises down the road. We don’t like negative surprises and you won’t have to put up with them.
