First impressions last! That's why tying a theme to marketing plans makes good business sense. Custom products implement themes well. Jillian's of Ideas has over 20 years in the promotional product industry and years of experience in design, display work, layout, interior design and event planning. Company owner, Jill Droege, also has a background in health and education. Jillian's of Ideas does not just sell, rather educates and consults! Only 3 miles from campus.
John Pils has been illustrating St. Louis for the past 25 years in pencil line drawings with watercolor. His prints, available as color copies and lithograph prints, portray the architecture of the area in cityscapes or one building compositions. A great gift for all purposes, including corporate and international gifting, the small-framed piece begins at $60.00. John Pils will also custom illustrate any city, building or corporate headquarters, offering also architectural collages of a specific city or community.
Remember, you do not need to reinvent the wheel! WUSTL's licensed suppliers have experience with the University's online resources, including graphics and guidelines. Several licensed suppliers have already digitized University logos for embroidery, saving you set-up charges. Others have designers on staff, ready to create professional looks from your ideas. Some local licensees do not charge delivery fees, especially for smaller orders. Web links are included for your convenience.
The University has over 100 suppliers licensed to produce merchandise displaying its names or symbols. With such a variety, the University's licensees can meet every imprinted merchandise need. If you need a recommendation or have any questions regarding licensed
suppliers, please do not hesitate to contact Karen Daubert, Director of
Trademark Licensing. click
