commonsku + Numo Upcycles Merch from skucon
Toronto, ON Canada (Mar 6, 2024) – commonsku, a promotional products business and sales software, and Numo, the industry’s leader in upcycling promo, team together to make magic from skucon merch.
At skucon in Las Vegas, 48 beautiful tablecloths were created for the event with supplier partner Visual Textiles. After the conference, to extend the lifecycle of the tablecloths beyond the event, they were shipped to Numo to be upcycled. Numo’s team of makers then cut and sewed each tablecloth into pouches, which were redistributed to every attendee post-event.
“We’re proudly a software platform that powers the industry’s distributors and suppliers,” said Mark Graham, commonsku’s president and chief brand officer, “and we’re also proudly promo, meaning, we love to showcase our industry’s potential. At commonsku events, such as skucon and skucamp, our mission is to inspire the industry’s best merchandisers, not only with inspiring education but by also by demonstrating — along with our supplier partners — the most creative ways to use promo. With Numo’s incredible upcycling program, we wanted to encourage distributors to think about a product’s life cycle through a sustainable outlook. Our team is proud to continue to work with such innovative supplier partners who not only create amazing merch for at-event experiences but who also think beyond the event and toward future impact.”
Elizabeth Wimbush, PPAI's director of sustainability and responsibility, said, "This is exactly the kind of lifecycle we should be thinking about when we consider promotions for our customers, thinking how we can create smart merch experiences that last and at the same time, reduce our impact: such a great example of a win-win!"
