Key Industries

Hospitality

Few industries are more experience-driven than hospitality. Compendium’s unique talent for getting “to the heart of the consumer” has allowed us to help some of the leading brands in the hospitality industry to enhance the guest experience and foster closer ties with their customers. Our media have a design style, creative feel and perceived value that are appreciated, and even sought-out, by the industry’s high-value customers.

We’ve created products and programs for leading hotels and resorts, restaurant chains, assisted living companies and spas.

Whether creating the ideal welcoming device, a thought to send guests to sleep with a smile on their face or the ideal communication to help generate positive feelings—and word of mouth—upon the conclusion of a guest’s experience, Compendium’s creative media are ready-made for myriad marketing and promotional applications across the hospitality industry.

Customer or employee facing; used as gifts or as promotions; custom-design media or products used straight from our inventory; strategic and planned or operating as a last-minute save, we understand the demands of this industry and can work in all those situations to help your organization shine.

Not-for-profit

Today your non-profit organization must operate and act like a business. Whether you are a school or university, a research or health institution or a charity, your relationship with donors, volunteers and the corporate community is critical to your success. Connecting in personal, memorable and non-traditional ways is vital to your ability to nurture and cultivate these relationships on which your business depends.

Compendium products can be the perfect high-value, low-cost thank you gift for key volunteers, donors or corporate partners. Or they can be the ideal premium for fund-raising events. Universally appreciated, Compendium products have proven to be some of the most effective relationship-building gifts of appreciation for not-for-profits across the United States and Canada.  

Financial

No industry relies more on the trust of its relationship than the financial sector. In addition, it is increasingly difficult for institutions—and the individuals driving the sales activities for them—to differentiate themselves in the market. Compendium has been in the relationship-building business since our founding, and our products and creative have proven to be an effective aid for helping banks, mortgage companies, and insurance and brokerage companies connect at a more personal level with clients and prospects.

Banks—including half of the 10 largest banks in the country—have used Compendium products for relationship marketing and client-engagement promotions, as well as for employee gifts for conferences and events.

We’ve worked with several institutions to custom-create turn-key relationship-marketing programs. Many leverage our products as gifts and giveaways for conferences and events. And we’ve developed internal communication and reward-and-recognition programs for several institutions—with great success.

Compendium can help set your financial organization apart, and build deeper relationships with customers and employees alike—faster, more effectively and less expensively than you’ve ever thought possible.

Health Care

The pace of change in the U.S. health-care industry can cause enormous turmoil for consumers. In fact the only ones with less certainty about where everything is headed are those working in the industry. Communication is critical to managing through this period. With mounds of data now showing the clear and direct correlation between worker satisfaction and patient care at hospitals, building morale and values-driven corporate cultures has become a key priority for executives at facilities and health-management companies across the United States. 

Compendium’s unique approach to employee-engagement, and the inspiring nature of our media, are tailor-made for the tools you, as a health-care administrator, are looking for today to create an engaged dialogue with your staff. Whether utilizing our products as gifts for internal events and programs, or drawing on our more comprehensive communications programming, we’ve worked with several health care organizations around the country—inspiring a higher level of engagement among the clinical, administrative and nursing staffs.

Real Estate

Few decisions in life, or in business, have bigger magnitude—and are more personal in nature—than those relating to real-estate transactions. Because of the broad appeal, and inspiring and personal nature of Compendium’s media, we’ve done significant work through the years with both real estate companies, and with individual professionals.

With off-the-shelf book titles such as Home, Thanks, Thank You and Welcome Home, and Window Card collections that serve the same purpose, we’ve helped many real-estate companies thank their customers in memorable ways, outreach to potential and former customers, and build tighter bonds with their most important centers of influence.

We’ve developed custom promotions and designed relationship-marketing programs utilizing our many existing media that have helped mortgage, title-insurance and real-estate companies deepen their most important relationships and delivery substantial sales increases.

Retail

Since Compendium’s Consumer Division lives and dies by understanding what moves people in the retail gift market, Compendium has a unique understanding not only of the companies that carry our products (and their businesses) but of broader trends across the retail industry.

It’s helped us build a long list of successful engagements with retailers. We’ve worked with some of the nation’s leading retail brands to:

• create unique, private-label products sold under a retailer’s own brand
• develop unique reward-and-recognition programs that build stronger corporate culture
• design unique promotional media that drives traffic and boosts sales

We can help you build your business by doing the same for you.
