About Jamie Coggeshall

I have been in the promotional products industry since 1989 when I sold custom printed t-shirts in college. Customers asked if I could also provide them imprinted pens and other items so I learned how to do this and started selling all sorts of promotional products, screen printing, and embroidery. I also learned to create logos and ads in Illustrator and PhotoShop, when I worked for Bell Atlantic Directory Graphics (now the Yellow Pages). After graduating from Drexel University with a BS in Information Systems, I designed web sites and solutions for a small online database company and also provided marketing for this company. Following that, I worked as a Project Manager for Reuters America in the IT Dept. I left Reuters in 2001 and took my business full time. Some of our major clients included Discovery Health Channel, FirstUSA, CitiBank, and the National Down Syndrome Society. Today Graphic Revolutions continues to work with Down Syndrome groups on their annual walks, as well as many of the same clients we had back in 1989. I believe having many of the same clients for more than 20 years says a lot about our work ethic and how we treat our customers. We have proven to help them grow their businesses and much of our growth is due to referrals from happy clients.I have learned that this is not simply about selling products, but building relationships to learn our client\'s needs and help them build marketing and promotional solutions that work. Our motto is \"Our work makes your work easier\" and our customers regularly express their appreciation for this.We have built relationships and partnerships with industry suppliers and we can put your company name on just about anything, including popular items like t-shirts, hats, pens, key tags, and calendars. If you need promotional apparel for fundraisers, business functions, gifts, events, etc, please contact us.

   Aim Smarter

   Jun 2006 — Present · Phildelphia, PA, US

   In 2006 I started the Advertising Industry Mastermind Group (AIM), a group of qualified independent promotional product distributors and suppliers. AIM group has grown drastically in 2014 to quietly become the largest group in the industry. We partner with a select group of top industry suppliers who provide the same high level of quality and service our members provide to their clients. AIM members have access to monthly training, networking, and preferred pricing and benefits with top industry suppliers. We also have negotiated and developed growing partnerships with many business-to-business services, for the benefit of our AIM members. In 2019, AIM was acquired by The Altitude Group, further delivering to AIM members unique industry service experiences, technology, and business development resources.
