Specializing in helping Jewish organizations support and celebrate the Jewish Community through promotional products.
We’re different than most companies that merely offer swag.
We started J-swag with the goal of helping people find the perfect specialty item once we discovered that there weren’t a lot of places (or any) where people could find Jewish promotional products. With over 25 years’ experience in the Jewish community, we understand the emotional and spiritual impact participation in life changing Jewish programs have on individuals and their communities. That convention or camp t-shirt is not just a piece of clothing, it’s a keepsake that lasts a lifetime.
J-swag partners with Jewish agency executives, marketing and program directors, and engagement professionals who are constantly searching for fresh and fun swag for their events. They need fast, cost-effective swag ideas and items. We’ve worked with Fortune 100 companies, national associations, local nonprofits, Jewish agencies and we work with families who want their lifecycle keepsakes to be unique and special.
On point. On budget. On time.
When you choose J-swag, our company manages the promotional product process from start to finish!
The benefit to you is that we do the work for you. Rather than hand you a catalog or post thousands of items on our website, we’ll talk about “why” you need promotional products, then we’ll hand-select a grouping of items that will be perfect for your upcoming event. No more hours poring over boring catalogs. You simply choose the items you want from our “short list” and we’ll order and deliver them for you.
We provide concierge-level service dedicated to find the perfect keepsake on time and on budget.
