Sky High Promo Shop acquires The Bag Promotions

Sky High Marketing, a promotional products distributor based in Las Vegas and Milwaukee, is set to expand its geographic reach with the acquisition of Idaho-based In the Bag Promotions. The financial specifics of the transaction have not been disclosed, but the deal marks a strategic strengthening of Sky High's presence in the western United States, specifically in the Boise area. In the Bag Promotions, founded in 2011 by Dan and Lori Reading, will transition its operations under the Sky High brand beginning July 1.

The founding couple of In the Bag Promotions will retire following the acquisition. However, Dan and Lori Reading will remain involved in the business until July 2026 to ensure a seamless transition for clients and staff. Their company, known for its specialty in laser engraving and premium printed media services, will retain its current branding temporarily until the official changeover. "It has been such an honor to serve this community," the Readings said, adding their confidence in Sky High's ability to uphold the high standards and commitment that their clients have come to expect.

For Sky High Marketing, led by CEO Josh Kozinski, the acquisition represents a strategic growth opportunity. According to Kozinski, expanding into Boise is a pivotal step that allows the company to strengthen existing client relationships while welcoming new business opportunities in the region. The acquisition adds complementary services to Sky High's existing portfolio, enhancing its offerings with new decoration services and resources. The Boise facility will particularly enhance Sky High's capabilities in screen-printing and embroidery, which are critical services for their clientele.

This acquisition is one in a series of expansions by Sky High in recent years. Previously, the company completed a merger that brought its sales figures to approximately $15 million. In addition, it recently acquired Maple Avenue Printing & Embroidery to bolster its in-house screen printing services. Sky High's ongoing expansion efforts indicate a strategic move to consolidate its presence in key markets while diversifying its service offerings.

Looking forward, the integration of In the Bag Promotions into Sky High will focus on maximizing synergies in operational efficiencies and market reach. The firm will need to effectively manage the transition during Dan and Lori Reading's tenure to ensure continuity and maintain service quality for its clients in the region. Such steps will be crucial for Sky High as it seeks to solidify its footprint in the competitive promotional products sector.
