Kim Fuller
Kim Fuller is the Director of Merchandising at Successories, where she has worked since 2008. She chooses what goes into the catalog and knows what separates a gift people keep from one they toss: the material, the decoration method, and the build. She writes about that side of the business, from how debossing and screen printing actually work to which fabrics and plastics hold up over time, so buyers can pick promotional products and corporate gifts with confidence.
She writes about the material and product side of recognition: what different materials and gift types do well, how a piece is built, and how those choices shape quality and price. She also writes on our sister brand, Awards.com, where she covers the manufacturing side of crystal, glass, acrylic, and metal awards.
