COVID-19 impact on Middle Tennessee branded merch company

 

Within the same week, Middle Tennessee was hit with an EF-4 tornado and its first confirmed case of COVID-19. The natural disaster may have destroyed several buildings, homes and tragically taken the lives of 25 people, but it brought Tennessee together as one family.

Blink Marketing, a branded merchandise company in Franklin, Tennessee, launched their BlinkCares initiative to help combat the financial destructions of the tornado. They set up an online store for people to purchase “Nashville Strong” and “Tennessee Strong” hats— 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Just a couple days after the storm, news broke about the first confirmed COVID-19 case in Williamson County, the same county Blink Marketing is located. Blink already had a plan in place to help keep its staff safe and healthy but knew the company, the community and the promotional products industry would take a hard hit from the virus. ­

“All businesses are navigating the changes brought about by COVID-19.  Our focus at Blink has continuously been on our staff, clients and our community,“ says Kyle Earing, Blink Marketing’s Vice President of Quality and Operations, “As a means of providing help in this time of need and supporting our local community, we made our warehouse available for the storage of our client’s goods free of charge!”

Blink is taking all precautions necessary to ensure the health of its staff while also staying readily available to its clients. The company is doing its part in the relief efforts of both the Middle Tennessee tornado and the current global pandemic. They are continuing to source hand sanitizer and facemasks for healthcare workers, while ensuring their partner suppliers are the top and most reputable in the industry with ISO, CE or FDA credentials.

Blink’s quality assurance is comprised of finding its customers the right people, using the right process and products, keeping consumers safe, protecting brands and satisfying customer needs. Blink’s commitment to quality and safety are foundational to the business’s success. This approach is now benefiting the community and our clients more than ever in the face of COVID-19, ensuring personal protection for those using our products on the front lines of defense. Our sourcing experts and manufacturing partners are well positioned to continue providing their same level of service to fulfill hand-sanitizer, masks, gloves, and any other product needs and requests.
