Who we are

Promoitems.com has been serving the Huntsville, AL, and Tennessee Valley's branded promotional item needs for over 40 years. We put our decades of expertise to use for our clients in crafting branded promotional items and strategies that meet their goals. Whether that be customer appreciation/retention, sales lead generation, promoting a new product or service, brand/company awareness, employee appreciation, or any other goals they may have. We don't just sell branded promotional items; we help our clients pick the right ones to meet their goals and the right strategy to implement them. We aren't one of those big box promotional items companies that just want to sell you a product; we work with our clients to select the best product to meet their needs and ensure they have a strategy to maximize the benefits branded promotional items can offer.

How it all began

 "Everybody Hates J.R." You may remember the line from the Dallas TV Series. Our founder, James Ronald Larkin (J.R.), began selling t-shirts with the phrase "Everybody Hates JR" in the back of magazines in the 1970s. His side hustle of selling those t-shirts blossomed into a promotional item business. Along the way, J.R. partnered with longtime friend Margaret Watson to grow J.R. Enterprises, eventually earning the title of Small Business of the Year from the Huntsville and Madison County Chamber of Commerce in 1995. Along the way, J.R.'s nephew, Kenny Wood, became part of the team and took over ownership and daily operations in 2016. Kenny has maintained the same level of commitment to J.R. Enterprise's customer base, and Margaret Watson is still a part of the team. As Kenny leads J.R.Enterprises to its next chapter: promoitems.com, the team continues to grow, the logo and website have changed, but the commitment to serving Huntsville, AL, the Tennessee Valley, and beyond with quality branded promotional items is still the same. We aren't one of those big box promotional items companies that just want to sell you a product; we work with our clients to select the best product to meet their needs and ensure they have a strategy to maximize the benefits branded promotional items can offer.
