Bowling Promotions, Inc. was founded in 1978 and is located in downtown Wabash, Indiana.  When it was first started, its founders provided bowling centers in the area with just a few products, mainly just to get their foot in the door.  They were a small company in a landscape full of bigger competitors.  However, through the persistence of a trained, professional sales staff and an “outside the box” type thinking, they were able to grow into a leader in the industry and an innovator of many new and better products within the bowling advertising industry.  Products that businesses of all sizes could advertise on in bowling centers within their local and surrounding communities.  The founders, and others within the company, were always looking for ways to improve on and expand upon the various products that it now offers to bowling centers in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois. In almost four decades, Bowling Promotions, Inc. has become the largest supplier of advertiser sponsored products to bowling centers in the Region.

In 1991, Bowling Promotions, Inc. added a sister company called Restaurant Promotions.  The same founders saw an opportunity to provide high quality products to restaurants in the same areas it already serviced in the bowling industry.  Again, it’s trained sales staff sold advertising that was placed on various products in some of the most popular and busiest restaurants in the area.  They felt these products could be produced better and of higher quality than what their competitors were producing at the time.  As it had in the bowling industry, they knew better looking ads made for better looking products and better results for the advertisers.  Restaurant venues are and will continue to be the fastest growing segment of the company’s portfolio.

As if one sister company wasn’t enough, Bowling Promotions, Inc. added yet another company in 2008, Real Estate Promotions.  This company produces high quality presentation folders to real estate agencies that in turn hand them out to prospective buyers, sellers and interested open house visitors.  It is a highly competitive market for these folders with a couple of big Canadian companies as competitors.  However, as history has proven the people behind Real Estate Promotions and its sister companies will find a way to excel.
