![]() PE firms also view the industry’s lack of consolidated power as an ideal chance to grow promo companies they acquire through organic means. ![]() “The fragmented nature of the industry allows private equity investors to execute buy-and-build strategies that they favor,” says Finegan. The potential for considerable consolidation, with the financial rewards it presents, is compelling private equity companies to search for acquisition opportunities in promo. The fragmentation makes the sector “ripe for consolidation” – a verbatim phrase used repeatedly by various PE principals and promo executives interviewed for this article. “Investors are always attracted to strong historical returns.”įurthermore, the promo industry, on both the supplier and distributor sides, remains largely fragmented, populated by what some might describe as a plethora of small and medium-sized firms. “There’s a history of successful private equity investments in the industry – HALO and Polyconcept (the latter backed by Charlesbank Capital Partners), to name a couple,” said Scott Finegan, managing director at Pfingsten Partners, which acquired Showdown Displays (asi/87188) in 2017. Meanwhile, private equity firms are also intrigued by the impressive results achieved by previous PE investments in promo. “The industry has real staying power,” said Scott Liebman, managing partner at Liebman Group. These industry characteristics are alluring to private equity firms, many of which say their research has led them to believe that more growth and strong profitability are ahead. Profitability, Counselor SOI data shows, is solid, with distributor margins tallying an average of 35% in 2017 – the highest mark of the last decade. Annual sales have increased overall each year since the dark days of the 2009 recession. While not the biggest industry around, the swag sector is large, representing $23.6 billion in distributor sales in 2017, and is growing and profitable. “There’s a history of successful private equity investments in the industry – HALO and Polyconcept, to name a couple.” Scott Finegan, Pfingsten Partners They’re going to migrate their money to particular businesses and industries where they believe they’ll realize lucrative profits. “There is tremendous pressure to get the capital deployed because investors expect a return,” says Bob Herzog, CEO of Top 40 distributor Corporate Imaging Concepts (asi/168962), whose majority stake owner is Berkley Capital.Įven with the eye-popping reserves, savvy PE firms aren’t going to spray cash all over willy-nilly. The swell of available capital is a key reason why more PE money is entering the promotional products space, and other industries too. That filled PE companies with more than $1 trillion to invest – a number analysts expect to rise as more investors are enticed by the prospect of valuable returns. In 2017, the global private equity industry raised a record $453 billion from investors, according to Preqin, a data and intelligence firm. *Refers to amounts shared publicly as of September 1, 2018. In this report, Counselor examines the growing influence of private equity on promo – and what that means for the industry. In the eyes of some, private equity money also represents a potential threat to the longstanding industry model that centers on domestic suppliers selling to distributors, and distributors selling to end-buyers. More broadly, the influx of private equity dollars is increasing consolidation across the branded merchandise market and pressuring middle-sized and larger suppliers and distributors, whether PE-backed or not, to scale up and become more streamlined, according to promo executives. ![]() Suppliers and distributors connected with private equity companies say their partners provide investment power, business insight and operational expertise that’s helping to drive efficiencies and growth in sales and profitability. “It’s a great sector to invest in with long-term positive growth drivers and opportunities.” “The PE market is waking up to the underlying attractions in the promotional products sector – market growth, buy and build opportunities, efficiency opportunities, globalization, further penetration of corporate accounts, etc.,” says David Colclough, a partner with U.K.-based Elysian Capital, which acquired distributor Brand Addition (asi/202515) in 2017. Expect the inflow not just to continue, but to accelerate. The deals represent a sampling of what promo executives and private equity principals say is an undeniable trend – namely, that private equity money is pouring into the promotional products industry like never before. ![]() ![]() Follow the onscreen instructions to install and sign in.

The lawsuit comes after the business review site and aggregator’s CEO, Jeremy Stoppelman, said that Yelp needed to "take action" after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs Decision, which ruled that the Constitution does not protect access to an abortion. Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will be filing a lawsuit against Yelp for allegedly for adding "inaccurate and misleading language" to pregnancy crisis centers listings on the platform, Fox News has learned. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton To Sue Yelp For ‘Misleading’ Disclaimers On Pregnancy Crisis Centers Meanwhile, so-called crisis pregnancy centers are at the center of a battle. In recent years, the pills have become the most common method of abortion nationwide. “We have a duty to uphold the sanctity of life.” The new bill, which has 13 Republican co-sponsors as of Thursday, comes on the 23rd anniversary of the FDA approving the abortion drug mifepristone for terminating a pregnancy in the first 10 weeks. “Banning these dangerous drugs for the purpose of chemical abortion is an important step in protecting life,” he told reporters. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), flanked by leaders of anti-abortion groups, introduced a bill Thursday that would ban abortion pills nationwide. House Republicans Introduce National Ban On Abortion Pills In other news, a legal to-and-fro in Texas over Yelp and "crisis pregnancy centers."

For discount tickets to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, visit our officially authorized Disneyland tickets page. (Or dump the rental before going to Disneyland, if that's at the end of your California trip.) Just use a Lyft to get to your car rental location near Disneyland. Heck, if you have more than two people in your group, that's often cheaper than buying tickets for everyone on the Disneyland Express was anyway.Įven if you are visiting other locations in Southern California and want a car to do that, wait to pick up your rental car until after you are done at Disney, to save on the parking costs. But until that happens, I would recommend using Lyft to get to and from the airport when visiting the Disneyland Resort. Perhaps Disneyland might start its own Magical Express bus service some day. (Pro tip: If you are staying south the convention center on Harbor Boulevard, consider walking to the Toy Story lot and picking up a Disneyland shuttle from there.) Even if you are staying at a nearby hotel, you might find it easier just to walk to the resort, as well. If you are staying on site, you never will use your car while you are at Disneyland, as everything within the resort is walkable. Not renting a car not only saves you the car rental cost, but also the nightly parking fees that every hotel near Disneyland charges. It's a shame, because if you're visiting Southern California just for a Disneyland vacation, having a car at the resort is not only unnecessary, it's a burden. ![]() Now, without either that option or the SuperShuttles, more visitors will end up taking Lyft or Uber, expensive taxis. Without a "free," Disney-run Magical Express service, as many Walt Disney World visitors rely upon in Florida, the pay-per-use Disneyland Express service was a popular option for many families who did not wish to rent a car to move between the airport and the Disneyland resort, especially if they did not want to deal with car seats in a taxi or Uber. And this week, Coach USA Southern California announced that it will stop running its Disneyland Express buses from LAX and Orange County's John Wayne airport after January 7. Earlier this month, SuperShuttle announced that it will stop running its iconic blue vans at airports across the country. Two long-time travel options from local airports are shutting down in the new year. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Feinstein was known for her gun control advocacy and authored the 1994 assault weapons ban (which expired in 2004) and repeatedly pushed for stricter gun laws, stating in 2018 she was “a woman on a mission to ban assault weapons.” Feinstein has attributed her gun control efforts to the 1978 assassinations of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and supervisor Harvey Milk Feinstein, then the president of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, was the first to find Milk’s body and shortly after announced their deaths to the press.

Zebras are what is known as hindgut fermenters, which means that they can extract nutrition out of low-quality feed such as grass and bark. Meanwhile, the mountain zebra, as indicated by its name, prefers mountainous areas, with their habitat, found mostly in Southern and South-Eastern Africa. The plains zebra’s range of treeless grasslands flows from southern Sudan to eastern and southern Africa, staying clear of deserts and wetlands. Grévy’s zebras live mostly in northern Kenya, in Acacia bushland, and on barren plains. All three species are found in Eastern and Southern Africa in a variety of savannahs, shrublands, woodlands, grasslands, and mountainous regions. Grévy’s, plains and mountain zebras inhabit distinctly different habitats with only some overlapping of range here and there. ![]() Its unique colouring of a striped head and neck fading into a solid coat towards its rump made it look something like a cross between a zebra and a horse. However, mountain zebras have a conspicuous dewlap, a flap of skin hanging from its jaw down its neck, which both Grévy’s and the plains zebras lack.īonus zebra: Quaqqa ( Equus quagga) The quagga was a plains zebra that lived in South Africa until extinction in the late 19th century. In contrast, mountain zebras’ stripes do not flow all the way to its belly, leaving a white stretch of skin that is clearly visible, similar to the Grevy’s zebra. The plains zebra has what is called “shadow stripes,” slightly lighter stripes in between the dark, prominent stripes. Grévy’s zebras are the tallest of the three, with thin stripes that do not reach all the way to the belly. The three species of zebra differ slightly in appearance, although it may be quite difficult to distinguish between them from a distance. There are many theories about why zebras evolved their stripes, and it seems that perhaps the most likely answer is that the stripes function as a way to deter biting insects like tsetse flies and mosquitos. When a foal is born, its stripes start out as slightly more brown but then become darker with age. Each zebra’s stripes are unique to the individual and make them recognisable from the herd. The vertical stripes slash across its neck and body, then curve horizontally around the rump and legs. And like horses, they walk on their tiptoes, with each of their long legs ending in a single toe covered with a hard, durable hoof.īut what sets the zebra apart from other equines is its distinct coat. They sport lovely erect mains and have a tuft of hair on their tails, perfect for swatting away flies. Similar to horses, zebras have barrel chests, long faces, and long necks. ![]() |
