Q: Can you share how your products were used in specific promotions?

1. Custom Cut And Sew: Numo is really a cut-and-sew operation at heart, so we frequently take on custom item development. A distributor approached us about making some neoprene pads to cover the rubber straps on diving masks. Skin divers’ hair would get pulled and tangled by the rubber strap on tThe diving mask, so the distributor had us make padded covers. They were a big hit with the distributor’s client, and resulted in more orders for other regular catalog items.

2. Economical Briefcase: A distributor was helping a client in the insurance industry put together a kit to consistently and efficiently document the damage in areas stricken by natural catastrophes. The necessary paperwork was included, along with several other items from our industry, all placed in our Economical Briefcase bag. The insurance claims organization’s branding and contact info was printed on the outside. This was given to the adjusters surveying the damage and gave them a consistent method to use for reports, which increased the efficiency of processing the claims.
