Giffird's Hope
Great America

While he was preparing for the opening of his Great America Amusement Park location, a local businessman asked Giffird about a crystal mug that was on display in the window: “Can you put my company logo on that mug?” Giffird replied, “Let me see your logo.”  The man pulled out a business card and handed it to him. Seeing the logo of Hewlett-Packard, Giffird responded, “That’s an easy logo. How many do you want?” “Seven hundred,” the gentleman replied.

In that moment, Giffird realized just how rewarding it could be to sell personalized gifts to businesses.
