“In 2013, I handle marketing and promotions for the
2013 Apex Jazz Festival. I work with Olivia to put
marketing products together for the event, including
coasters, mugs, shirts, and related items. Not only does
she know her business very well, she provides excellent
products, and is 100% reliable and responsive to every
single phone or email communication. I never have a
question as to where we are at on anything. She makes
the process seamless. Her customer service is
superior.”

“Olivia and Promotional Partners have been a tremendous
resource to Wake County public schools and Apex high
school. Olivia is a consummate professional who never says
no to a school that needs her help or expertise. Olivia is
often at Apex High School mentoring, helping with mock
interviews or attending business alliance and advisory board
meetings. Promotional Partners is a strong supporter of the
school's Academy of Information Technology and DECA
programs. She regularly hosts interns and donates to
charitable causes that our DECA students hold.”
– John- Apex Academy of Information Technology -AOIT Director

10. Testimonial
“Apex was voted 9th best place to live in 2013 by Money
Magazine! Here is a video clip from local businesses
such as Promotional Partners, commenting May 2013
about what makes Apex such a great place to own and
operate a business. We appreciate companies like
Promotional Partners that help in our efforts to assist
local companies and non-profits alike. One such non-
profit relies on Hastings Farm Supply to supply shirts for
a fundraiser. Without the support of Olivia and
Promotional Partners, we would be unable to guarantee
an on time delivery of a much needed product.”
– Past President of the Apex Chamber Jeff Hastings

11. Testimonial
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Olivia in a number
of capacities. We've been on the same team as
Ambassadors with the Apex Chamber of Commerce and
on the Apex PeakFest committee. Olivia is very
community oriented. If there is a local event, Olivia has
probably been involved in its success.”
