VALDOSTA — Image Advertising Specialties recently joined with Chamber Ambassadors as they hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of their new Valdosta Regional Office.

Founded in 1991, the small women-owned business from Pinellas Park, FL is a full-service promotional products company that specializes in providing original and creative marketing ideas to their clients all over the country.

“We have separated ourselves from others by not only working hard to earn business, but working just as hard to keep business,” said company owner, Becky Hamm. She noted that over 95 percent of the business coming into the company’s main office in Pinellas Park is by referral.

Even during the economic downturn, the company has grown every year in sales, so much so that it made sense to open up a regional office in Valdosta.

“Our regional sales consultant, Jessica Hamm, has been a resident of Valdosta for six years,” Becky explained. “Apart from Image Advertising, Jessica is former Air Force and is active in animal rescue.”

In addition to working together, Jessica also happens to be Becky’s daughter. The mother-daughter duo made the decision to immediately join the Chamber after launching in Valdosta this month.

“The Chamber has been so instrumental in making this process smooth,” said Becky. “We look forward to working closely with them through the years.”
