Testimonials:

“Incredible family business. From the moment you walk in, it feels so warm in the space. My consultation with Marissa and Marlene was amazing, they were able to present so many options. There was wonderful synergy. I have been in more than 5 times in the past few months to replenish our business sweatshirts. Price is perfect and the quality is worth more than 5 stars! See you guys this week for more!"

“I was recently in a wedding and received a zip-ip fleece jacket with my monogram stitched into it. I absolutely love the jacket, so I wear it often and always recieve compliments on it.

Next time I need a personalized gift, I will definitely be heading to Initial Encounter :) ”
