Fortune Marketing Unlimited  
     
  The Company

Fortune Marketing Unlimited, Inc. (FMU) was founded in 1987 to create, market and manage corporately-sponsored promotional events.

FMU's business philosophy is based on creating long-term business relationships and delivering long-term results. FMU partners with senior executives facing complex marketing decisions. We help companies define their outstanding issues, capture vital information and create the knowledge that companies need to reach superior cost-effective decisions.

In addition to providing excellent sponsorship opportunities, FMU creates specific tie-in promotions for its clients which bring significant quantifiable value to each sponsorship.

FMU does this by recognizing that underneath all of the corporate and organizational goals and objectives is one basic tenet - companies want to make money. In the case of its corporate clients, FMU creates tie-in opportunities designed to generate measurable sales of product and services.

As a result, when corporations evaluate their sponsorships, they look beyond the reach, frequency, target and critical mass data that most marketing consultants provide their clients. FMU's clients are able to look to the sales and profit figures generated by a successful sponsorship. The sponsorship is no longer just creating an association with golf or tennis, or amassing an indeterminate number of impressions, or just supporting a charitable cause, it is a wise business decision.

 
     
  Cadillac Invitational

FMU created the Cadillac Invitational, a nationwide series of amateur scramble style golf events which benefits selected charities - now the largest and most successful event of its kind in the world. The Cadillac Invitational has raised well over $100 million for its charitable beneficiaries. Simultaneously, the event has generated excellent media and on-site exposure for Cadillac and the event’s other sponsors.

This marketing promotion has annually generated millions of dollars of related sales for:
 
     
 
Cadillac Division of General Motors Corporation
General Motors Acceptance Corporation

Callaway Golf, Ben Hogan Golf and Top-Flite

  Custom Promotional Items

FMU also designs all of the custom products it sells. Then, one on one with our clients, our designers modify the styles to fit each company’s individual and unique image and logo application needs. FMU is your factory direct sourcing agent. The least expensive way to source products today is to work directly with a factory—we do that for you. We always show you a final rendition. Upon your approval, the factory will manufacture your items and FMU will facilitate all import and shipping requirements to ensure that your order is delivered directly to the location of your choice. Because we are factory direct, there are no extra charges for shipping to a warehouse in the USA, for stocking and warehousing, for printing or repackaging, or domestic shipping. There are no up-charges for salesmen, no middlemen and no overhead. We eliminate these additional costs, and this way, you only pay FMU a small margin for our efforts. We make the products for you and deliver them straight from the factory to your company.

We take you, the client, directly to the factory. FMU began designing and manufacturing custom logoed merchandise in 1998 to provide our clients with quality prizes and gifts while working within our clients’ strict financial constraints. Years of design, sourcing, and manufacturing experience in Asia enable FMU to design high quality, unique, and attractive custom logoed merchandise at a fraction of ASI or distributor prices. We provide a level of service to our clients unmatched by other merchandise vendors and sports marketing agencies. FMU competes with registered vendors at Fortune 500 corporations and major national charities and we regularly win bids by offering significant savings over our competitors. In fact, over the last few years, FMU has won nearly every merchandise bid we have participated in.

Make our years of experience work for you. In addition to the ability to manufacture virtually any custom item, FMU, through its event sponsorship relationships with numerous quality companies, can offer access to name brand items at prices other vendors can’t match.
