As a member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), Prime attended the 2008 Annual Golf Event at Prestwick Golf Club in Woodbury on July 10th. NARI is a not-for-profit trade association representing the largest network of professional remodelers in the United States, with over 6,700 members nationwide and 57 local chapters.
As a green sponsor at hole #9, Norm and I represented Excel Promo and Prime by talking to the foursomes as they returned to their carts after sinking their beautiful putts. The promotional gift we handed out was SPF lip balm with a carabiner clip which made it easy for the golfers to attach it to their golf bags.
Finishing in first place out of 36 teams was the foursome made up of Todd Polifka – Vision Remodeling, Bruce Gebhart – Cambria, Jeff Warner – Warners’ Stellian and John Taylor – Marvin Windows & Doors.
It was fun to meet new members and be able to let them know how we can help them grow their businesses!
You can enjoy some of the photos from the event below:

Now that we have had a chance to recover from all of the Maple Grove Days events, we can now proudly tell you about Prime’s outstanding showing at the First Annual Bed Race for the 40 Winks Foundation. The 40 Winks Foundation provides beds & mattresses to children and families who can not afford them for themselves. This year marked the First Annual Bed Race on Saturday, July 12th.
Each team consisted of 5 people, and a bed! You could build your own (which we quickly discovered was the better of the options) or you could use one of the donated beds that Slumberland provided. You were encouraged to have a theme, dress up & decorate your bed. There were a variety of prizes from Fastest Bed, Best Decorated Bed, Best Costumes (which we are proud to say Prime won!!) and many other categories. Our theme was "The Prime-Mates: 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed!" Along with our costumes and bed decorations, I think that item that sealed the deal for best costumes was the radio on our bed playing…"Hey Hey We’re the Monkees" (the theme song from the 70’s hit show!!).
After 2 runs through the course…we were quickly eliminated (I am not sure, but I think we were the ONLY team to not win a single race!!) But who cared…we were having fun & raising together we all raised $1905 for charity! We are already planning for next year…we will BUILD our own bed, improve our costumes (if that is even possible), and possibly begin a training program to get the team in tip top running shape!! (I am kidding on the training, but not the rest!!)
Not only was this a fun event, but all of the money raised went to the 40 Winks Foundation! All of us at Prime Advertising are committed to giving back to our community & we will continue to find new (and fun) ways we can do that!
Check out some of the photos of the event below:

Celebrating 15 years at the Maple Grove Days parade was a blast! The designers and I put together a cake… Kathy our Senior Designer is an expert you might say at this sort of thing. We made our Prime cake out of chicken wire, insulation foam, cardboard, paint, tissue paper & heart! This was a fun project for us; it was so exciting to see it up on Mark’s truck! At the parade this year we handed out mini beach balls and bright multi colored pens to help celebrate our anniversary! With rain and storms all day, the weather finally turned around, and just in time for the parade, and the thousands of Maple Grove residents, the parade started!
The beach balls were a hit as expected! The kids and parents alike were all screaming “BEACH BALL!” Everyone at Prime loves to participate in this community event. Prime plays a huge role in the community with the Guide, the Newsletter, and the Event Guides! As well known as our faces are by many in the community…Can’t wait for next year!

Our staff showed Stellar Keys & Remotes what the Prime Advantage is all about this past month. Stellar was signed up to be one of over 350 commercial vendors at the Back to the 50’s weekend. Not only did we help create his ‘booth’ with a complete vehicle wrap, custom canopy, table throws and sidewalk sign, we also designed their promotional items. We created custom calendar magnets, rack cards and lanyards for Stellar to hand out during the event.
The Back to the 50’s Weekend is attended by over 60,000 spectators making it the second largest event of its kind in the world…second only to the NSRA Street Rod Nationals. This year’s event was June 20-22, 2008 with 11,712 registered street rods, customs and classics.

The city of Osseo is on the forefront of lots of new and exciting things! With a comprehensive plan in place to give Osseo a new face and feel… There is discussion of Commercial and economic development, redevelopment objectives and initiatives, transit systems, park and recreation systems, and so much more! Prime is excited about the opportunity to be apart of Osseo’s new ventures!
The old Osseo logo was designed in 1997, and 11 years later with lots of exciting changes on the way… Osseo needed a new logo! This was such an important project for us at Prime, and exciting for me personally because I grew up close to Osseo and I went to Osseo Junior & Senior High.
It’s so exciting to work on a project that affects the community you live in, and it’s exciting to see the logo I designed popping up everywhere in Osseo! The word discover is in a handwriting font and keeps in very friendly. The city wanted to have the 2 elements that people remember Osseo for - the clock tower with the flower baskets, and the church steeple. The new brand identity for Osseo will be repeatedly communicated, on all printed material including: stationary, signage, newsletter and of course on their new website as well!
As part of their new look Prime has just also finished the NEW “Osseo Outlook!” The look for the new newsletter incorporates the city’s new logo and some bright yellow sun rays shining from behind the city. The light yellow give this a bright, fresh, clean look. While designing the logo I was told the name Osseo means “There is light.” I really wanted the newsletter to have cheerful, positive feel to it, and I think it will be well received! The businesses in Osseo were SO excited about the opportunity to advertise in the newsletter it sold out almost instantly!
Check back to find out the progress on the new website!

I have heard that most New Year’s Resolutions have been broken or forgotten about by March or April. Well, to help the employees at Prime keep theirs going, we are doing some group fitness activities. We have had a Wellness Program in place for about 3 years now, but we decided to take it to the next level.
In March we asked Leslie Byzewski , a personal trainer and speaker, to come speak to our company about general fitness and heart health. In just one hour, she had our group discussing our resolutions/goals, how to manage change and even got us up doing exercises with resistance bands.
It is interesting how we look to our co-workers as team members to get our daily jobs done, but it quickly became apparent how they can also help with personal fitness goals. A big part of getting fit is the education. We know certain foods can be bad for us, but learning why and what is in it is very eye opening. To help us continue on this journey of fitness, we asked Leslie to come back and speak about nutrition.
To keep us on track and make it a little more fun, we will be starting a 6-Week Prime Fitness Challenge. During the next six weeks we will be tracking points based on a daily physical challenge, a weekly nutritional challenge and offering a 30 minute fitness class once a week led by Leslie. For each item we complete, we will get points to work towards a grand prize!
Be sure to check back as our active employees will be sharing their experiences throughout the 6-Week Prime Fitness Challenge.
