GET TO KNOW...
Jeff Buchanan, Owner of
Integrity Promotional Solutions
01. What did you want to be when you were a kid?
Although there were many growing up (police officer, fire fighter, the normal boy stuff), my true desire as a child was to become an architect.
02. What was your first job?
My first job started about the time I was 8 or 9 as a short order cook in my grandparents old time café they had run for over 60 years before retiring and closing the doors.
03. What do you like to do in your free time?
When I’m not working or spending time with my family I enjoy riding my motorcycle, so watch out for me on the roads.
04. What's the best advice you've ever received?
“God doesn’t call the prepared, but prepares the called”, not exactly sure where I heard it, but it stuck.
05. How long have you been in business and how did you get started?
Integrity Promo has been in business for about 3 years. I had never been in sales or anything related to logoed apparel and promotions until out of the blue someone in the industry offered me a job as a sales rep. Needless to say, I fell in love with the industry, the creativity, and taking care of my clients and their needs. When things didn’t pan out with the other company, I still had clients that needed taken care of and within two weeks, Integrity Promotional Solutions was born.
06. Why do you choose to operate your business in Oklahoma as opposed to somewhere else?
Oklahoma is growing stronger as each day passes and full of new and untapped opportunities as well as a great state to live and raise a family.
07. Why do you think its important to keep it local?
If we want to flourish as a local community and state, we need to embrace, support and utilize our local businesses by keeping our money and resources local. There are so many talented business owners and entrepreneurs here locally that people who buy out of state are missing out on. The next best thing might just be around your corner.
08. What locally owned business (other than your own) could you not live without?
Sara Sara Cupcakes, Phipps Phast Oil Change, BS Unlimited, Maxey’s Cycles, Biker Shak.
09. Our Facebook fans want to know: What is it that sets you apart from the national chains and promotes loyal, repeat customers?
We are not here just to take a toll free call, turn an order, collect your money and hope you don’t call with a problem. We care about our clients and their brand, and treat their brand as if it were our own. From the initial conversation to the delivery of the product, we are there each step of the way. We partner with our clients and take pride in our “make it happen” philosophy and will always shoot straight when it comes to helping you make a decision.
10. Our Twitter followers want to know: What drives you to keep doing what you do?
As business goes, nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing the face of a satisfied client when they see THEIR logo printed on a t-shirt or promotional item that they single handedly chose, with our guidance and suggestions or course. I have a great passion for being creative and thinking “outside the box” with either graphic design and printing techniques or finding new and exciting promotional ideas and solutions.
