The high mark that PromoShop (204997, D11) earned for “Industry Faith” in the inaugural PPAI 100 technically refers to the company’s positive credit rating, but the Los Angeles-based distributor has built a strong reputation among its industry competitors and peers. Just last year, the company’s former chief compliance officer and director of vendor relations, Kim Bakalyar, received PPAI’s 2022 Woman of Achievement Award, before retiring.

PromoShop has only pushed forward since then, growing in revenue, earning a place in PPAI’s Greatest Promo Companies To Work For in 2023, and maintaining a standard of pre-qualifying the suppliers it works for safety, compliance and socially responsible products.
