About Us

Quality Logo Products begins with a used laptop

Quality Logo Products was started by Bret Bonnet and Michael Wenger. The Coleman Foundation, Inc. granted them an interest-free loan. The two used old equipment and worked out of Bonnet’s basement.

Total number of employees: 2

The company started as a two-man operation with co-founders Michael Wenger and Bret Bonnet. The two did everything, from writing product descriptions to processing orders to learning just how to run a business!

Total number of products on website: 594

There are now more promotional product offerings available to customers, almost 600 different and unique promo items (594 to be exact). More selection meant more variety and that meant more attention-grabbing items for our customers to pick from!

Total number of employees: 3

Three's a crowd! Three employees were toiling away at Quality Logo Products this year to make the company as streamlined and efficient as possible and get our customers the best products at the best prices. There were now six hands doing the work of many!

Total number of products on website: 1,088

The S.S. QLP was going full steam ahead to bring as many custom products as possible to our customers. We jumped up to 1,088 promotional products available on our website and were showing no signs of slowing down, not even for lunch!

Total number of employees: 5

Everything big has to start small, and with five employees, Quality Logo Products was on their way to big success! The employees were still able to fit into one car for lunch runs, but they were ready to bring in some more help to really provide the best promo ordering experience possible.

Named in Counselor's Multi-Million Dollar Roundtable (1st Year)

Quality Logo Products made it to the big league! The Multi-Million Dollar Roundtable is a highly-praised title that’s presented to promotional product distributors reporting a sales volume of $2 million and over. You can bet there was a lot of “Wa-hoooo”-ing happening!

Accredited with the BBB (A+ rating from 2007 until now)

Who doesn’t want to hang an A+ on the kitchen refrigerator? Quality Logo Products was recognized by the Better Business Bureau for being an outstanding business customers can trust when ordering. We’ve kept this rating since and have no plans to lose it.

Total number of products on website: 2,857

There’s no slowing us down! We reached 2,857 products on our website, which meant more options for giveaways than our customers could possibly imagine. And we were just getting started.

Total number of employees: 6

We were still a small operation with just six employees, but our dedication remained high. This commitment to quality service worked in our favor over the next few years as business rapidly expanded both upward and outward.

Named in Counselor's Multi-Million Dollar Roundtable (2nd Year)

Quality Logo Products was named to Counselor Magazine’s Multi-Million Dollar Roundtable for the second year in a row. The award recognizes promotional product distributors who report more than $2 million in sales for the year. We’re proud of this achievement.

Total number of products on website: 4,247

We added almost 2,000 new promo products to our lineup between 2006 and 2007. That’s nearly 100% more product, and 2,000 more awesome stress balls, water bottles, and pens to spruce up with your snazzy logo!

Total number of employees: 9

In 2007, Quality Logo Products had a team of nine promo-planning, logo-loving, stress ball-squeezing ninjas. This meant we could get orders out even faster and add even more products to the website. We were a lean, mean, promo product machine.

Named in Counselor's Multi-Million Dollar Roundtable (3rd Year)

The third time’s the charm! 2007 meant seeing our name on the Counselor’s Multi-Million Dollar Roundtable list again. We love knowing that our hard work is paying off and people are recognizing all the ways we connect to customers!

Moved into a new building

New products and new employees meant moving on up out of the basement and into a new building. We were feeling pretty legit as we got more space to stretch our legs and become legendary promotional experts.

Total number of products on website: 5,744

With a larger team and a larger office to call home, why not offer a larger selection of products to match? The number of items on our site crossed the 5,000 mark in 2008, making us even better at finding our customers just what they needed for their promotional giveaways. 

Total number of employees: 10

In 2008, Quality Logo Products made the leap from nine employees to ten. We were now in double digits and finally had enough people to form a slow-pitch softball team. With our full team, we kept working toward becoming the most effective promo products distributors in the industry!

Bubba is born

It wasn’t quite the face that launched a thousand ships, but it did launch plenty of promo products orders, and we thought it was a beauty. Bubba, QLP’s smiley-faced yellow stress ball mascot, made his debut this year. Pantsless. We were so proud.

Named in Counselor's Multi-Million Dollar Roundtable (4th Year)

What a streak to keep going! For the fourth year in a row, QLP reported more than $2 million in sales, which meant that we again were invited to join Counselor’s Multi-Million Dollar Roundtable. We felt very King Arthur about the whole thing.

Total number of products on website: 9,392

10,000 products, here we come! With 9,392 products available for custom order on our website, the air was buzzing with excitement about our impending 10,000 product milestone.

Total number of employees: 10

Our employee count stayed steady at 10 in 2009, which meant every single employee was a promotional rock star. We grew our marketing efforts in a big way this year, and everyone contributed to spreading the word about QLP.

Total number of employees: 48

The numbers don't lie! In 2009 we had 10 employees, but by 2010, we had 48. We grew our team by leaps and bounds to keep up with the business of helping customers find the best products for their promotion.

Total number of employees: 65

Here we grow again! Quality Logo Products added almost 20 new members to the team in 2011 to grow our ranks to 65 strong. A bigger sales team meant orders going out faster and more people in data entry helped us load more products to our website.

Quality Logo Products YouTube channel launched
