We have a lot of bright ideas for you

Welcome to our website! Our team at SWFL Marketing Group is dedicated to helping our clients with cost effective, result-oriented marketing solutions.

Our company is the new name and the new look of two of the strongest brands in SWFL who have been providing creative marketing solutions for businesses and organizations since 1990. Roberts Advertising founded by Thom Roberts in Bloomington, Indiana and American Promotional Products founded by Randy Thomas in Naples, Florida joined forces, and in 2015 we created SWFL Marketing Group.

The Industries we have helped, include Education, Financial, Healthcare, Automotive, Hospitality, Not-For-Profit and many others. We are dedicated to staying current on trends and technology to truly be a resource to our customers.

This website is meant to be a research tool for you and not an online store.  Digital catalogs can be found here and we do have physical catalogs from our top suppliers who are experts in all areas of promotional products and apparel.

We believe to be of service to our clients we need to act as advisers and consultants who understand your marketing objectives both inside your organization and outside in the marketplace before recommending solutions that fit.

Please feel free to call, text, e-mail any of our team members and experience our willingness to really help get your business the best results in your branded marketing campaigns
