More to the point, this team of professionals is what makes PromarkBRANDS a very easy company to do business with. Our customer service team is comprised of avid photographers and videographers, along with former professional photographers and independent filmmakers, all of whom are very well versed in how to use our products. They are willing to spend as much time as necessary working with you to solve any problem that may arise, either technically or from an order-processing standpoint. And they’re in-house.

WE WANT YOU TO STAY IN TOUCH

PromarkBRANDS, either as the parent company or its constituent brands, is now active on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. In addition, we’ll feature a YouTube channel to introduce numerous product tutorials and testimonials. Social media provides a forum for PromarkBRANDS, you, and your customers to stay in touch. As we like to say, “You stay in touch and we’ll stay in touch.”
