So much so, that I invited him here today to continue that conversation and dig a little deeper. What's different about this episode is instead of me interviewing Bobby, we thought it would be fun to interview  each other.

My guest today is Dale Denham, President and CEO of the Promotional Products Association International - better known as the PPAI. Dale's also the man behind #Online18 - a list he created in 2014 highlighting the most influential social media voices in the Promotional Products Industry. And I'm excited to share, I made the list this year thanks to my podcast!I invited Dale to be a guest on my show to talk about #Online18. I wanted to know what inspired him to start this prestigious list. And I was curious to learn how he decides who gets on it every year. And finally, as President of the PPAI, I was curious to get Dale's POV on the role promotional products play in creating brand awareness.

Fast forward to today, with 5 months on the job, Chefs Mark Graham and Kate Plummer had their chance to sit down with Dale to discuss how he navigated the twists and turns of a new position, the leadup to Expo, and what his strategic vision is for the promotional products industry moving forward.

Dale Denham put out his list of Online influencers in Promo recently. Here are the lessons you can learn from them!

On this episode, Mark Graham (co-founder commonsku) down with Paul Bellantone (CEO, PPAI and Dale Denham (Chairman of the Board, PPAI) for a discussion about how PPAI advocates for our industry and promotes an environment of success for its members. The impetus for this conversation was a Planet Money podcastcalled Rigging the Economy. The episode looked at how some industries use regulation as a way to restrict new entrants in an effort to protect current members. The podcast looks specifically at the dental industry in North Carolina and how they tried to restrict teeth whitening clinics from operating without a dental license. So, in other words, if you were offering teeth whitening services in your local mall and were not a licensed dentist, the licensing board saw this as a crime. Here’s an excerpt from the episode that frames things nicely and also creates a few parallels with the promotional products industry: Teeth whitening is a fairly simple process. It doesn't require a lot of years of school. And people in North Carolina had started opening up these little teeth-whitening kiosks in malls and salons. They charge less than a licensed dentist and... Dentists didn't like that competition. And so the licensing board for dentistry in North Carolina issued cease-and-desist orders to teeth-whitening clinics telling them to stop the unauthorized practice of dentistry. We encourage you to listen to the entire episode to find out what happens, but for now this got us thinking about how our industry deals with new entrants. Some suppliers and distributors in our industry worry about lax qualifications to join our industry as this increases competition and potentially confuses end customers. Are we like the dentists? Let’s find out.

In this episode, Mark Graham of commonsku is joined by fellow chefs Dale Denham of Geiger and Bill Petrie of PromoCorner. For those of who are tuned into industry social media, you have likely seen your feeds dominated by LEAD, PPAI’s Legislative Education and Action Day. Dale and Bill were among the dedicated group of volunteers that took to Capitol Hill to speak to members of Congress about our industry. We were curious about LEAD and, given that Bill and Dale are prominent chefs, felt there was an opportunity to sit down with them to try and understand more about this initiative, why it matters, what success has come from LEAD and how more people can get involved. Please be sure to thank our friends and supporters at SanMar for helping us bring you this episode.

In today’s episode, PromoKitchen chefs Mark Graham and Dale Denham are going to take a deep dive into what it takes to deliver “ultimate customer experiences”. In today’s competitive landscape, customer experience is often the key differentiator that separates one company from the next. We know this to be especially true in the promotional products industry where commoditization and price shopping run rampant. The winners in this industry have long recognized that it’s the intangibles beyond price and product that create enduring and successful companies. So what does it mean to create the “ultimate customer experience?” Our guest today is the man who coined this very term. Please welcome to the PK Podcast, Scott McKain. Scott is the founder of The Distinction Institute, a company that explores the role of ultimate customer experiences in creating enhanced client retention and revenue. He is the author of three Amazon.com #1 business bestsellers, all focused on teaching companies how to expand profits, increase sales, and engage customers.

In this episode of the PromoKitchen Podcast, Chefs Mark Graham and Dale Denham bring you up to the present as we speak to Norman Cohn, Chairman of the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI) about how both ASI and the industry look in 2015. In June 2012, the Wall Street Journal described Norman as the “Sultan of Swag.” It was a breakthrough piece written by one of the country’s most prominent media outlets and it shone a bright light on our industry. However, Norman is much more than just the sultan of swag, some might say he’s the architect of the modern promotional products industry. Norman was born Iowa in 1933 and had his first encounter with promotional products in high school. Then in 1962, Norman convinced his family to sell off their supplier interests and acquire ASI, at the time, a small trade association. Over the next 6 decades, ASI grew into a powerhouse with media, technology, trade shows and education as part of its product mix. ASI now touches over 25,000 distributors and suppliers and wields enormous influence over how the industry operates today. How ASI grew to where it is today is an incredible story of perseverance and entrepreneurship and one that we are privileged to bring you. Click, listen, and comment. Without further ado – enjoy!
