Detailed Analysis
Product Safety
Tom's great-grandfather began a hide rendering business, well-known in the fur trade for honesty and integrity. In a 1939 article Tom’s grandfather said, "A satisfied customer is the best asset any business can have." Though the products and services have changed, our focus on customer service has not. This original safe has remained in our office since 1906 as a reminder of what we stand for.
Mid-America Merchandising, Inc. was established on May 4, providing complete program management and fulfillment from concept to execution.
Tom sold MMI's in-house cut and sew operation to his workers, giving them the opportunity to continue to produce locally made, eco-friendly cotton tote bags.
Before the MMI family grew to over 25 employees, we were an honoree for Small Business Monthly’s 25 Under 25 Award for the Kansas City market.
Ingram's Kansas City Business Magazine named Mid-America Merchandising, Inc. Best Emerging Company in Kansas City.
Promo Marketing Magazine ranked Mid-America Merchandising, Inc. among the top 50 largest Promotional Products Distributors in the United States.
MMI moved to Subtropolis.
MMI celebrates 40 years in business! Thank you to all our loyal customers who have contributed to our success. We love developing partnerships with our clients.
President
Tom started the Company in 1984 with his wife, Carol, because he recognized the value in offering fulfillment services of incentive merchandise. Within a few years, thanks to their expertise and outstanding customer service, they evolved into distributing and fulfilling logoed merchandise and apparel, amongst thousands of other promotional products. In his spare time, Tom enjoys volunteering and gardening. He has taught and coached swimming for over 20 years, and especially enjoys working with children who have special needs.
CEO
Lisa has been in the promotional products industry for most of her career. She began on the supplier side of the industry, which afforded her the opportunity to understand all aspects of the promotional products business. Since joining MMI, she has been a driving force in the growth of the company through creating efficient processes and automating systems. Her efforts reduced order processing time from 1-2 business days to 15 minutes. In her free time, she enjoys camping, fishing, and boating with her husband and two children.
