Bank Street Summer Camp is not your ordinary summer camp. The staff provides a number of ways to engage campers with learning opportunities they couldn't get elsewhere. Bank Street offers campers the chance to participate in focused groups to learn about Shakespeare, Spanish immersion, travel, film, science and art. Located in Manhattan, this summer camp is the premier progressive day camp for children ages 4-14.
Senior Account Executive, Mishelle Weingard, has been trusted with the camp's promotional products and apparel for the past four years. Their successful working relationship stems from her collaborative spirit, creative thinking and familiarity with the camp's branding needs.
Dylan Morgan, assistant director for Bank Street Summer Camp, answered some of our questions about the promotional projects he and Mishelle have worked on over the years.
Leaderpromos: Which promotional items have received
the most positive response and why do you think that is?
Dylan:
In the past we have ordered shirts, hats, back packs, water bottles, play dough,
gack, rubber balls and basketballs.
Campers love all variations of the shirts because we have shirts specifically for some groups as well as some "fun shirts" that have various camp catch phrases on them.
Kids loved the balls this year. This is the second year we have found
that the play dough and gack have become fantastic giveaways.
Leaderpromos: Why have you decided to continually
come to Leaderpromos for your apparel orders as well as the other items Bank
Street orders?
Dylan:
I think there are a few reasons we keep coming back. Mishelle works very well
and very hard for us. She does the research and ALWAYS makes stuff work for us,
even when we have a budget.
Also,
she has become a very integral part of our own research. I always say, "I'll
ask Mishelle what she thinks." Lastly, the brownies that she sends us yearly
have gone a very long way.
Leaderpromos: As a frequent promo buyer, are there
any tips or suggestions you could give new buyers to ensure successful
partnerships with their reps?
Dylan: 1) Be specific with what you want, not just with the item but why you are ordering what you are ordering or giving away. If they know how the product is going to be used, they might have suggestions. 2) Ask as many questions as possible. 3) Don't be afraid to ask to see some samples.
