NEPM Specialists

NEPM's experienced sales staff is available to visit your office to discuss all of your promotional product needs. We can help you design a simple, or a very extensive, campaign, and we can take care of every detail from design to execution. An NEPM specialist will help you assess your promotional marketing needs, design a custom promotional product or campaign and execute the program in a timely and professional manner. We can gift wrap your customized promotional goods and provide custom packaging. We even offer fulfillment services at our 10,000 square foot warehouse, which is located just minutes from our main office in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. Besides our corporate headquarters, we also have sales staff in many parts of New England and along the East Coast.

Our Mission

Our home, a 110-year-old former church, exemplifies NEPM's values. This historic site has been beautifully renovated, but still retains the architectural charm of an earlier time. We pride ourselves in offering old-fashioned customer service supported by leading edge technology and processes. The rationale for any corporate identity is rooted in the truth of its mission and its plan for the future. In times past, marketing/selling in the "Yankee" tradition was one-on-one, a face-to-face buying and selling transaction. The Yankee Peddler delivered his meticulously arranged goods by horse and wagon. How appropriate to use a time honored image and profession to represent the NEPM Corporate Identity! When you do business with NEPM today, you still receive the same genuine one-on-one interest and concern.

Our Credentials

Founded in 1989 by Kathryn Selvia, NEPM is certified as a "Woman-Owned Business" by SOMWBA (The State Office of Women and Minority Assistance) and the WBENC (Women's Business Enterprise National Council.) The Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI) lists NEPM in the top 3% of distributors in the industry, a distinction held for over ten years. NEPM has also been recognized as one of America's Top Small Businesses in 2006 for promoting multicultural business opportunities. Kathryn Selvia, our President, is a current Nominee for the "Bess Cohn Humanitarian Award." for her repeated contributions to the senior centers, the veterans, the schools, and the less fortunate in her community.

NEPM also subscribes to a sophisticated service called "ESP," which is specifically designed for the business of managing promotional products and business gifts.

We can instantly search for available premiums that fit your criteria, be it color, size, theme, price or turnaround time.

Testimonial

We are in a unique industry (Nuclear) and NEPM always seems to come up with the right promotional items for our trade shows and our customers. These items include "glow" in the dark t-shirts, customized playing cards imprinted with pictures of our products and crystal paperweights with an atom laser engraved on the inside. These are just a few of the promotional items that have helped promote a positive company image and kept our name and logo in our customers' minds. I can always count on NEPM to deliver on time with great pricing; that is why we have been using NEPM for our promotional needs for more than 15 years.
