Better Ideas. Better Results.

“What a lady ... professional, kind, in tune with your needs, and will bend over backwards to serve your company's advertising and marketing needs with honesty and cost-saving ideas. I highly recommend Lynn for not only small jobs but major ones. She has done several projects, big and small with our department (Advancement and Communications, UMDNJ), and we are completely satisfied. Because I was limited to only three attributes, I am adding them here:

She works great with my colleagues. When asked, Lynn is always recommended first; She has a deep and detailed knowledge of her products, and the product(s) are always delivered either earlier than expected, but never late. Her inventiveness came through when she knew the quality and delivery service from several overseas companies, when she has to use them.”

Carole Walker, UMDNJ University of Medicine & Dentistry, University Affairs

1st Straw Marketing and Promotions has completed numerous projects for me now over the past six years. I recommend them without qualification for any promotional program and marketing assignment.

In addition to serving the needs of my business, Emergency Preparedness Partnerships, I have also worked with the 1st Straw staff for two non-profit groups that I am associated with - New Jersey Emergency Preparedness Association(NJEPA) and the National Association of Women Business Owners - South Jersey Chapter(NAWBO-SJ).

I have always found them to be invaluable sources of creative ideas and cost-effective solutions for my marketing challenges. They understand what is important in a business partner and do a great job translating our need into actionable plans. They have always met our project deadlines, and worked within our budget constraints.

I highly recommend them as a provider of marketing and promotional services.

Eileen Unger, President, Emergency Preparedness Partnerships

“I was only allowed to choose "three" attributes to describe the service that Lynn provided to our institution, but truth-be-told, she was a winner in all of the categories, which includes her expertise, punctuality, and integrity ...

Lynn is extremely organized, which is a big plus, in that we had to provide exhibit-quality tablecloths that represented the University and our eight schools. Lynn made sure the price was right, the quality was right, and the delivery was on right on time.

Most important, she kept in touch with me at every turn, so whatever she knew, I knew. I highly recommend Lynn for any marketing and/or promotional project. It was a pleasure working with such a professional, who can be highly creative. She also has a wonderful sense of humor.”   

Carole Walker, UMDNJ University of Medicine & Dentistry, University Affairs

“Matrix Development Group has been working with Lynn Pechinski and 1st Straw Marketing & Promotions for over nine years, 5 of which I have personally had the pleasure of working with Lynn. During that time, no matter how difficult the project, she has always been able to fulfill our needs.

We have asked her to research and create personalized high-end corporate gifts, design annual holiday gift towers, as well as regularly order various logoed business items (i.e., shirts, golf balls, stationary, etc.). When I have been at a loss as to what would fit in with a theme that was chosen, Lynn has always been able to come up with various ideas for me to choose from. Additionally, even when our requests were rush orders; Lynn has always come through for us. Her work is consistently professional, high quality and always within our designated time frames and budget - no matter how strict.”   

Susan Ferlicchi, Marketing Manager, Matrix Development Group

“Lynn has worked on several projects for me over the years.

“Lynn provided promotional material for Harbor Technologies during my services with them. Her work was always perfection, she provided me timely and valuable input on all of the requests I brought to her. Lynn has integrity, exceptional knowledge about how to market your companies value as well as "the personal touch" to all that she does.”
