Thorne Communications is a promotional products distributor representing several preferred suppliers, including those who offer eco-friendly alternatives. Our mission is to educate on promotional products and strategies that are aligned with your marketing objectives, image, and values so you can build your brand, your business, and the communities you serve — in other words, Promo With Purpose.

She also has five years of college teaching experience and holds a Doctorate of Business Administration degree. Heidi has also served as editor of a trade newspaper for over 12 years.
Her goal in developing the Promo With Purpose concept is to help associations and small to mid-size businesses gain more sales and success. Says Heidi, "I want my clients to be proud of who they are, what they do, and what they stand for. I want to help them write their own success stories."
Through her blog site, PromoWithPurposeToday.com, Heidi educates subscribers on new and innovative products and developments in the promotional world, helpful books and resources, upcoming events, and people you should know, along with entertaining insights on business and a whole lot more.
