MAC Meetings and Events president Pat Schaumann, CSEP, CMP, announced yesterday that her company will open MAC Promotions, a new product line within MAC Meetings and Events. Like MAC Meetings, the new division will be located in St. Louis.

MAC Promotions will distribute promotional products, business gifts, premiums and awards/incentives. Its core products will include apparel, writing instruments, desk and business accessories, bags and recognition items with a variety of price points. Bill Jones will manage the operation.

"Our migration to premiums, promotional items, procurement and fulfillment was inevitable,” Schaumann said. “This offers another capability to our all-inclusive support services.”
