John is very personable and helpful. He advised us on which type of paddle is most cost-effective for our use. If we need more, we will come right back here!

I worked with Better Bidders for a fundraising auction. John was extremely helpful in describing the various materials used to make their auction paddles and also sent samples. No other printing company I had researched was able to specify exactly where my money was going and the product I could expect in return. John laid everything out on the front end and was directly involved from design to execution. The paddles arrived on time, and the packaging for shipping left no chance of damage along the way. I could not have been more pleased with how they turned out and would highly recommend this company above all others.

John had lots of options, once speaking to him he was able to design and send me my order with just days time. So appreciated for meeting my hectic and crazy deadline with custom paddles!

Thanks Sheri! Yes, your PremiumPRO3 oval paddles will certainly last you a good while. And don't forget to let us know when some go missing as we'll easily fill them in for you-- John

John is responsive and personable. While this paddle business is everyday, run of the mill for him, he gets that for the end user, it may be their first rodeo. He responds to specific inquiries, sends samples, and ensures you understand the ins and outs to make well informed decisions. There is no upsale attempts and the product is accurate to what you agree upon. Finally, this is affordable. Regardless of whether you have a small event or huge black tie event; there are options for you. If you're on the fence about who to use for paddles...jump on in and let John take care of you.
