Wikimedia Foundation

Wikimedia

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, and the world's fifth-most-visited website. Social Imprints is proud that Wikimedia Foundation chose us to design, print, and package its limited-edition 10th Anniversary custom-printed promotional products. We successfully packed and shipped the products to arrive on time for the 10th anniversary celebrations in more than 75 countries, including Kenya, German, Japan, China, Egypt, and Spain.

We developed custom molds to create the following keychains and lapel pins:

We worked with Rickshaw Bagworks in San Francisco to create a fully customized, all-over-printed, zero-waste bag.

We created this beautiful custom-embossed journal, using artwork that Wikimedia provided.

AmeriCorps Alums

AmeriCorps Alums are former AmeriCorps volunteers who share a vision of a better America. AmeriCorps Alums numbers over 500,000 alumni, including veterans of NCCC, VISTA, and pre-AmeriCorps VISTA.

The leaders of AmeriCorps Alums hired Social Imprints to help create a comprehensive marketing plan for selling more custom-printed products through its vast network. Social Imprints helped develop a highly successful new logo tagline, branding guidelines, and a new line of custom-printed merchandise. We created a custom AmeriCorps webstore and developed a marketing plan to help the organization regularly engage its network.

As a direct result of Social Imprints' assistance, AmeriCorps Alums tripled its revenue of custom-printed products over the previous year.

"Social Imprints has provided the perfect recipe for AmeriCorps Alums to offer merchandise to our clients and alumni. They manage fulfillment, financial processing, and website integration, which leaves AmeriCorps Alums with the time and energy required to focus on our core operations. Coupled with their commitment to corporate social responsibility, Social Imprints' proactive and thoughtful style has provided us with a partner we can depend on, and relieved us of the burden of managing our own merchandise line."

She & Him Peechee Folders

The band She & Him hired Social Imprints to design and create its vintage Peechee folder. Adapting elements from hand-drawn artwork, our team created a perfect knock-off of the 1950s-style folders, inspired by their "In the Sun" video from She & Him's "Volume Two" album.

Whiskey Media

Whiskey Media operates websites that tie-in product databases with best-of-breed editorial and video coverage and reviews. Whiskey Media's top-rated Roku channel has attracted a huge audience, partly because WM members can participate by editing the website or adding their own content.

Whiskey Media asked Social Imprints to create custom-printed promotional products to stimulate pride among its enormous, deeply engaged audience. We came to the rescue with a highly successful fulfillment solution that was both efficient and cost-effective. In 2010-2011, Social Imprints produced, packed, processed, and shipped over 10,000 unique items to Whiskey Media members and fans. Social Imprints also helped Whiskey Media create a revenue stream through online sales on the WM website

"For a young Internet company, speed and efficiency are absolutely key. Social Imprints has helped us in our offline branding in incredible ways. They're the friendliest, most professional guys in their industry, and somehow, they make the hard work they do look easy."
