Sheila Berndt
Commotion Promotion

My niche and my passion is creating unique promotional items for my clients that help them to have happy employees and contented clients.  I create promotional products that draw attention to their companies in the markeplace in unforgettable ways.  

Commotion Promotions was established in 1984 and I've been with them since 1987.  I started in Phoenix, opened and managed a branch in Honolulu for 7 years and have run my business in Bothell for 13 years.  

The perfect client for me is a harried person who makes purchasing decisions on promotional products for mid to large size corporations.  They need someone with unique, creative ideas who can handle all the details that guarantee the right product delivered for the right price and on time.  They need someone who is extremely customer-service oriented and can anticipate their needs.  They need someone who will partner with them and make their events, promotions, employee or client thank you stand out from the crowd.  

People are surprised to know that I still have my best clients dating back to 1990 in Hawaii.  This requires the tough duty of making visits to Hawaii regularly.  

I've been married for 30 years and have 3 grown children and 1 darling granddaughter.  My husband and I are marriage coaches.   If money were no obstacle, we'd fly around the world helping marriages in crisis.  

I love my salsa classes (Zumba!), hiking, bike-riding, reading, and interior decorating.  "Life begets life.  Energy creates energy.  It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich." (Sarah Bernhardt).
