Weekend Explorer Grill + Cooler Delivered

On Monday February 23, Thunder Road began delivering the Weekend Explorer Grill + Cooler to Carolina's Medical Center. The small object may look ordinary, but it is actually a tailgaters dream. Spotted at our Trade Show at Panthers Stadium in the Fall, CMC has picked up on this versatile product! The front contains the company logo, while the top half holds the cooler. Underneath the cooler, a small grill is able and ready to go! BAM! Let's tailgate!

2,000 tee shirts in 3 days! No way!


On Monday February 9th, Thunder Road Brandworks successfully delivered 2000 custom imprinted T-Shirts to the Charlotte Bobcats in time for the game! The t-shirts were part of a Season Ticket Holder Appreciation Month promotion that the Bobcats held and gave a shirt to each of their Season Ticket Holders at the game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The shirts involved a complex multicolor 3 location imprint as shown here in this blog and were couriered to the arena in time for same day game distribution! The shirts were considered a success and the Bobcats came away with a huge 94-73 victory that night as well!

Vantage Apparel

On Tuesday morning, the staff of Thunder Road was greeted to a fantastic presentation by Regional Sales Representative Kent Davis of Vantage Apparel.

It was fascinating to learn the nuances of embroidering and decorating apparel with logos and the different ways to do it! One of cool aspects offered by Vantage is their laser when they add in the logo. Kent showed us samples of exactly how precise the laser can be on the fabric as well as the many different locations the logo can be placed on the article of clothing.

Oh also, Vantage provided us with latest in different types of clothing such as golf shirts, fleeces, t-shirts, button down/woven shirts, and jackets! The part of Kent's presentation that I came away most impressed with were the amount of stitches used in each decoration or embroider. Vantage uses 3 times the amount of stitches compared to other competitors. While some use either 5,000 or 11,000 stitches... Vantage uses an astonishing 16,000! The result looks amazing! Take my word for it, HUGE difference.

Needless to say, we are happy to be associated with this ever-growing company! If you want to check out their catalogue for yourself:

The Beginning

At Thunder Road Brandworks, we stand out in a world of 21,000 promotional product companies by serving as marketing consultants, not mere product providers. Anyone can show up at your office, spread out a stack of catalogs and ask which hat or pen you want to slap your logo on.

Instead, we show up with our brains, our notebooks and plenty of ideas about extending the reach of your brand. We assist in strengthening your identity through promotional marketing concepts, corporate gifts, reward and recognition programs, direct mail programs, and unique approaches to trade shows and special events.

Sure, we have hats and pens and mugs and everything else that follows the straight and narrow of corporate marketing. Yet by offering the unexpected item at exactly the right time, or by coordinating an event that takes everyone by (pleasant) surprise, we add more than value to your marketing efforts. We add the spark and spontaneity that keep the most successful brands alive and kicking.
