The best branded apparel is the apparel people actually want to wear.

For this customer, that meant adding his company logo to his go-to piece: a classic jean jacket.

Reflecting on a great experience at SHRM Iowa last week!

We enjoyed connecting with HR professionals from organizations across the state and discussing the many ways custom apparel and branded merchandise can support onboarding, recognition, company culture, and the overall employee experience.

While our HR-themed shirts helped spark a few conversations, the real highlight was hearing what HR teams are focused on within their organizations and learning about the initiatives they're leading!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to connect with our team. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of those conversations and explore ways we can help support HR programs!

If we didn't have the chance to meet at the conference, we'd still love to connect and learn more about your goals!

A scary restroom isn't just a Halloween problem. 👻

Missing supplies and empty dispensers can create a poor first impression for your business, reduce confidence in facility cleanliness, and pull your team away from more important priorities with constant reordering and maintenance.

With Phelps, restroom supplies become a worry of the past. Our fully managed restroom supply program monitors inventory, services dispensers, and delivers essential products on a schedule tailored to your facility's needs.

Happy Customer Service Week!

This week, we’re proud to recognize our Customer Service Coordinator, Dana, for the incredible impact she has had on both our customers and our team.

At Phelps, we believe customer service should go beyond answering questions and solving problems. For us, that means building relationships, earning trust, and making every customer feel valued. Dana embodies those values every day.

Whether she's helping a customer find a solution, navigating challenges with care and professionalism, or supporting our team behind the scenes, she consistently goes above and beyond to create a positive experience.

Her dedication, patience, and genuine desire to help others reflect the values that have defined Phelps as a family-owned business for over 40 years.

Dana, thank you for the care, kindness, and hard work you bring to your role each day. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and we're grateful for everything you do for our customers, your coworkers, and Phelps.

Not everyone wants the same holiday gift. That's why the best employee gifting starts with knowing your team.

A thoughtful gift that fits someone's personality is more likely to be appreciated, remembered, and used long after the holiday season.

Although the holidays may still feel a ways off, getting started early gives you more time to find the right gifts for your team and avoid the last-minute rush as the season approaches.

Need help finding the perfect gift? Phelps can help you find the perfect products while adding your business’ branding or a personal touch that will take your gift to the next level.

With fall upon us, now is the time to make sure your team is ready for the colder months ahead.

✅ Does every employee have appropriate outerwear?
✅ Are new hires prepared for colder weather?
✅ Is branded apparel available for layering?
✅ Does safety gear fit properly over layered clothing?
✅ Will your team be able to maintain a professional appearance?

If you couldn't confidently check every box, you're not alone. Seasonal changes often reveal gaps in uniform, apparel, and safety programs.

From branded jackets and layering pieces to new hire outfitting and safety apparel, Phelps can help you find a solution that works for your team.

The best time to prepare for winter is now. Partner with Phelps to keep your team ready for whatever the season brings!
