What Boost Promotions does

Boost Promotions, Inc. is a privately held, Beverly, Massachusetts-based promotional products and branded merchandise provider founded more than 20 years ago. The company operates as a full-service, a-la-carte vendor offering four core service lines that can be mixed and matched by clients: Branded Merch, Design, Fulfillment, and eCommerce. It sells custom promotional products, custom-molded items, cut-and-sew apparel, point-of-sale displays, and bespoke merchandise campaigns, alongside design services, kitting and fulfillment, and custom eCommerce store development for client company stores and pop-up event shops.

The company serves a primarily enterprise and mid-market B2B client base across five named verticals: Beverage (spirits, beer, wine, non-alcoholic, cannabis, soda brands), Healthcare and Pharma, Technology, Marketing and Advertising Agencies, and Sustainability-focused brands. Its go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, anchored by an industry-vertical landing page strategy and a portfolio of named case studies. Customer logos span Fortune 500 brands (PepsiCo, Mercedes, PGA, Warner Bros, Intercontinental, Takeda) alongside mid-market and emerging brands (Cuervo, Teremana, Dobel, Kraken, Chopra, P'Tula, Whoop, Alnylam). The company does not publish pricing; engagements are quote-based via phone and email.

The underlying technology stack combines an ASI-powered eCommerce storefront (boostpromo.espwebsite.com) for catalog ordering, in-house design and product creation capabilities including overseas manufacturing for custom molds and cut-and-sew apparel, and a Beverly-based fulfillment/warehouse operation. The company holds no patents, has no disclosed mobile app, and reports no AI/ML capabilities. No funding rounds, parent company, or institutional ownership have been disclosed.
