Holiday Project is a Real Winner
Choate Construction Company’s quest for the perfect Christmas Gift is a testament to the power of promotional products to tell a complete and meaningful story. It’s also a case study in the value of relationships and the trust that’s fostered when a client knows and believes you have their best interests in mind. Knowledge of product and suppliers is something that can be learned. A client’s trust has to be earned.
The project was a hit with Choate Construction and their clients. It’s now been recognized within the promotional products industry as a Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) Gold Pyramid award winner.
“We’re not thinking about awards or recognition when we’re helping clients and friends bring a project to life,” said Scott Dunstan, founder and president of The Dunstan Group. “We’re always wondering and working on how we can take their idea to the next level. Adam gave us the runway, and we took off together on this one.”
Choate Construction trusted The Dunstan Group with a mission that was very personal to them as a company, and as individuals: producing a holiday gift for their clients that also demonstrates their ongoing support for families and individuals with Autism. Sourcing products from suppliers that shared Choate’s mission and values – and their message – brought the entire project full-circle.
“The search for the perfect Christmas gift was a daunting task,” said Choate Construction’s Adam Hawthorne in a letter to The Dunstan Group. “They’ve been engaged with our company for a number of years and have been instrumental in helping us find useful and high-end promotional items.”
For this project, a bottle of top-shelf bourbon was bundled with a pair of leatherbound rocks glasses, and a candle from Luhrs Wicked Wicks. Both companies work to employ individuals on the autism spectrum and those with special needs.
“This whole thing came together just perfectly because Scott had a genuine and heartfelt idea. We packaged all 250 of them at our office – Scott, Brian and Taylor even came by to help with that. We produced a little video to tie the story together, and put a bow in it, so to speak.”
