Image Pro

What Image Pro does

Image Pro (legal entity: Imagepro Ad Specialties Inc) is a privately held promotional product distributor founded in 1995 and operating out of Saint Augustine, Florida. The company functions as an intermediary in the U.S. promotional products / ad specialties industry, sourcing customizable branded merchandise — including drinkware, apparel, bags, writing instruments, technology accessories, and awards — from a network of over 3,000 suppliers made accessible through its membership in the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI). Its e-commerce website lists more than 23,000 corporate SKUs and organizes them into themed collections (Patriotic, Breast Cancer Awareness, Back to the Beach, School Store, Computer Accessories, Holiday Gifts, Employee Recognition) to facilitate use-case-driven discovery.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer B2B model, selling one-time promotional merchandise to corporate clients, educational institutions, recruiting teams, and nonprofits, with per-unit pricing and tiered quantity discounts. Custom branding and imprinting costs are quote-based and managed via phone and email support (a single named contact, Michele). The company does not own proprietary technology platforms; its digital presence consists of a standard e-commerce storefront with SEO-driven category structures, blog content, and YouTube product videos.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through transactional promotional product sales, with no subscription, licensing, or recurring contract layer. Geographic reach is domestic (United States), with no disclosed international operations, no parent company, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity in the source data. The operational footprint — 1–10 employees, single contact point, single geographic base — is consistent with a micro-distributor rather than a scaled enterprise.
