I have known Jim from Creative Solutions Promotions for just over a year and have used his services several times. He is efficient and bends over backwards to get you what you want. My most recent purchase was customized Arbonne umbrellas which I wanted as Christmas gifts. I described to him exactly how I wanted them to look. He sent back a virtual identical to what I had envisioned. In addition, he sent another option which looked much better than my original! We all liked the second option and received our umbrellas two weeks ago. We could not be happier! I am a raving fan of Creative Solutions and will continue using his services.

We were in need of some new, corporate golf shirts for our company. We had previously purchased golf shirts from another company but they faded very badly. When I met with Jim Hastings at Creative Solutions he asked what qualities I was seeking in a golf shirt. I told him I wanted something that wouldn’t fade, was available in a variety of colors and could be thrown in the washer & dryer and worn without having to iron it. He delivered exactly what we wanted and we are very happy with his services. We had issues with a few of the shirts which he replaced immediately without hesitation. We will be using his services again in the near future.

Thank you Jim for getting me my table banner so quickly. As you know at the last minute I decided to get a booth space at the Simi Valley Chamber Business Expo and needed “signage” to identify my business. You came through with flying colors… it looks great and was delivered in time for the show. Thank you very much!

Thank you Jim for my exceptionally comfortable company tee shirts. They are amazing! You clearly know your business because I’ve never heard of this brand yet they are the softest, most elegant tee shirts I’ve ever seen. The screen printed logos look crisp and clean and really pop on the shirt. I feel very proud to wear my new corporate apparel and have had several compliments.

I am writing to you Jim to thank you for our last order of TRD tees and hoodies which we just received. As you remember, I was a “doubting Thomas” when you told me how well other Toyota dealerships were doing selling your imprinted garments. After doing my due diligence by calling some of your other Toyota clients that carry your shirts I decided to give it a shot. Needless to say, we are very happy with our decision (based on all the reorders we’ve had) Thank you again. You are a true professional and are very easy to work.

I have been working with Jim Hastings since 2003 when I was parts manager at Acura of Stevens Creek. He has a well-deserved reputation for getting embroidered apparel out the door very quickly and accurately. I have continued to use him for our corporate apparel needs. On the few occasions where we had issues that needed to be resolved he handled them very quickly in a very professional manner. I have referred others to him and recommend him highly.

Dear Jim,

I found myself in an awkward bind when my pen supplier called me on Wednesday to let me know they were not able to deliver my custom pens which were due on Friday. That did me absolutely no good because our annual Wedding Show Weekend event was on Sunday.
I started buying Toyota designed tee shirts from Creative Solutions back in 2007. Their attention-getting designs really caught my attention. Now, whether it's shirts for our boutique, bags, corporate jackets, etc. their prices have been very competitive, their turnaround very fast and they have been very easy to work with. That makes MY job much easier!
Six months ago we were searching for a solution to increase our CSI scores at our dealership.
Knowing that most people are apprehensive when coming to a dealership to purchase or lease a vehicle, we want to give our customers the most pleasant, positive experience possible.
Our primary objectives were to convert buyers into extremely satisfied and loyal customers who will return to our dealership for their service needs, not hesitate to refer us to their family members and friends and to increase our CSI scores.
Your promotional product gift set recommendation is working extremely well for us in accomplishing these goals. Our new car buyers are thrilled when they receive their gift sets and I am very happy to report that our CSI scores have gone up by 25%!
Lastly, I know we just put in an order at the end of December for another 200 gift sets. Could you please check back with us next month to see if we are in need to replenish our inventory.

Jim is a pleasure to work with and is a superb communicator. He asked us probing questions, attentively listened to our needs, understood our goals and helped us select well thought out, appropriate and sound promotional products for our 30 year anniversary gift baskets.
Working within our budget and being mindful of presenting different pricing options, Jim not only saved us hundreds of dollars but took this project off our plates so we could focus on other tasks! He truly is a one stop shop; he's very knowledgeable, resourceful, has many connections, knows his industry and puts your needs first to ensure your happiness. And BTW, he delivered on his promise to get us all seven of our promotional items ahead of schedule.
For a millennial tech-savvy, resourceful person as myself, Jim proved his value and worth. He definitely opened our eyes to the benefits of working with a trusted promotional marketing specialist and we highly recommend him. Wesely Thomas Enterprises is a company that values integrity and Jim Hastings has the utmost integrity, professionalism and knowledge of the industry. If you are seeking peace of mind and tangible solutions to your promotions go with Creative Solutions.

Creative Solutions is who I use for corporate apparel and special needs projects. If I have any project that I need to get done I call Jim first. He's very efficient and gets the job done very quickly. On various occasions when I was given a last minute project that had tight deadlines, Jim always comes through with flying colors (and makes me look good in front of my General Manager)! He's told me his job is to make me look good and he's done that several times. I look forward to continue working with him. Whether I'm looking for a special gift for a grand opening, employee shirts or products to sell out of our boutique I know if I call Jim he'll get it done right, at the right price and get it delivered promptly.
