Greetings to my fellow EAA members! My name is Robert Baker, and I am a new member and advertiser with EAA. Part of my multimedia marketing business is commercial and stock photography, and I have always enjoyed aircraft photography, albeit I have a limited personal collection.

Swag, aka promotional products are prevalent is most sectors like airplanes, boats and car groups and associations, but we are passionate about providing QUALITY swag versus just junky stuff that people throw away. I am a Navy Veteran and Small Business Enterprise where I focus on discovering new business relationships and helping entities improve their long-term branding potential. As we all know, quality hats, drinkware, apparel and thematic but functional giveaways achieve the highest ROI in the marketing space.

Below, I have highlighted the most popular items and previous projects that might inspire you to bring your new brand or an existing brand to the next elevation! We believe in offering value, quality and exceptional service!

CUSTOM DIE-CUT STICKERS

It’s not just kids who appreciate a good sticker—adults enjoy them as well. Sit in a coffee shop for a few minutes, and you’re bound to see at least one water bottle or laptop that’s covered in stickers. Some are purely decorative, but other stickers feature brand names. There’s a reason why many companies invest in stickers.

DOING BUSINESS WITH US

We are a Veteran-owned small business enterprise based in Las Vegas, doing business as North Star Multimedia. There is a $750 minimum for the first order you place with us. Until we have a mutual trust and experience of regular payments, a 50% deposit is required for all orders. We bank with Chase and prefer company checks, but we can receive Zelle payments at no extra charge.

Veteran-owned small business enterprise logoWe can also process payments with a company credit card, but there is a 4.5% service fee for each transaction. Likewise, we will need a copy of your states’ resale certificate and some sort of official letterhead or document stating who has authority to place orders if you do not have a legally binding purchase order process. My business, North Star Multimedia is setup to receive ACH payments which is also an option.

Final payments are NET15. Any invoices over 30 days will be accessed a $250 administrative fee plus 4.5% on the remaining balance. Obviously, we would never want to impose that, but our vendors require us to pay within 30 days.
