Our Motto
We are a small, family-run business. We will take the time to listen to your needs and give you an honest product at an honest price. We will do our best to foster a relationship based on trust and integrity. If something is not right, we will stand behind it, and work until it is right. Period.
Our Values
From the beginning we wanted to make sure everyone associated with PLom614 Design & Apparel always tries to follow these values:
Always Do the Right Thing
Ethical decision-making, honesty, and integrity in every professional interaction and transaction, ensuring a reputation of trustworthiness.
Value Relationships Above All
Nurturing and prioritizing strong, long-lasting relationships which are the foundation of trust, collaboration, and mutual success, fostering a supportive and thriving business environment.
The 4 P’s of Greatness
Be Productive: Attitude and hard work are important, but they will never be a substitute for skills and ability. We will always strive to become better at what we do and improve the products we provide to our customers.
Be Positive: A great teammate will actively lift all those around him or her. We see it every day. Greatness emanates from positivity. We will do our best to make your experience with PLom 614 Designs a positive one, so that you will use us again, and recommend our services to others.
Be Principled: Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. When you have principles, your customers know that they can trust you. Without the ability to communicate, and without trust, you will never succeed in business. Sales is about relationships, trust and respect. If a customer feels comfortable, he will buy your product. “Our promise to you is to always treat you, our customer, as we would want to be treated, and to always try to do the right thing.”
Be Proactive: Even after the first three P’s there’s still more to do! We will remain proactive, as we gain much-needed knowledge and experience in this field. We have some excellent people that are helping us along the way, as we learn, grow and improve. So far this has been an exciting start, and we look forward to nothing but great things ahead.
