SPD: What is the absolute coolest job you’ve ever done, or your “claim to fame”?
Adpro Imprints: Most of our work is pretty standard, because that’s what our customer base requires. I guess the coolest job we do every year is the Clean Ocean Action Beach Sweeps. We also outfit a very big customer who trains military personnel to disarm weapons in Iraq and Afghanistan. I’ve always found that pretty interesting.
SPD: What do you do better than your competition?
Adpro Imprints: We’ve always worked on doing as much as we possibly can better than the competition. We’ve had a lot of time to try things out and see what works and what doesn’t. My father always emphasized customer service, so obviously that is very important to us. We’ve also always kept up with the latest technologies and maintained the best equipment in the industry. It allows us to output at a level of quality that a lot of others can’t. In a nutshell, I guess you can say we really care about what we do better than the competition.
