Snap Promotions

What Snap Promotions does

Snap Promotions, LLC is a privately held, woman-owned distributor of custom promotional products, decorated apparel, and corporate gifts, founded in 2009 in Lawrence, Kansas and currently led by owner and founder Kristin Eldridge, with Lee Eldridge as co-founder. The company distributes more than 300,000 customizable SKUs via its shopsnappromotions.com online catalog and customizablepromotionalitems.com, spanning categories such as tech accessories, drinkware (including Stanley Quencher, Pelican Porter, BrüMate Era, CamelBak), bags, stationery, audio (JBL, Solekick), apparel, and lifestyle items (Chipolo, BBQ sets, cornhole sets, sunscreen packets). Underlying production is physical rather than digital: the firm provides screen printing and embroidery customization services for apparel and imprinting on hard goods, sourcing product from third-party manufacturers and decorators. Pricing is quote-based unit pricing on a pay-as-you-go basis, with setup charges, shipping, and sales tax applied on top, and closeout/deal SKUs used for inventory-clearing volume (minimum order 100 pcs illustrated).

The go-to-market is a hybrid of consultative solutions selling and self-service ecommerce. Direct sales targets enterprise and mid-market clients (businesses, associations, schools/educational institutions, healthcare organizations) across local, regional, and national geographies, positioning the firm against commodity order-takers by emphasizing creative campaign advice rather than transaction processing. Marketing channels include the company website, regular blog content (product spotlights, holiday guides, press releases), an Instagram presence, an email newsletter, and active membership in business associations including Chamber Lawrence, the Topeka Chamber (joined April 2025), and the Greater Topeka Partnership. The company's revenue stream is a single one-time transaction/reorder model on custom promotional product sales; no subscription, platform, or licensing revenue is disclosed. Since incorporation the firm has remained independently held by its founders with no external funding rounds and no disclosed financial statements. Certifications include State of Kansas Woman Business Enterprise (WBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) designations (August 2020) and Proposition 65 compliance disclosure, and it has earned regional recognition including 2025 KSAE Supplier Member of the Year.
