A Partner We Trust: How Wildman Elevated Branded Apparel for Johnson-Melloh

For the team at Johnson-Melloh, working with Wildman, particularly through their representative, Danielle, has been a standout experience in vendor collaboration.

From the start, the relationship has been defined by transparency, attention to detail, and a proactive approach that consistently delivers results.

A Refreshing Level of Honesty And Attention To Detail

“One of the most respected qualities about Danielle, and Wildman as a whole, is her honesty. If Wildman can’t fulfill a request, they communicate that upfront. That level of transparency is rare and fosters a sense of trust. It’s clear their team cares about doing what’s right, not just making a sale,” said Laurencia Borgerhoff, Client Services/Marketing Manager.

Danielle’s meticulous nature and proactive mindset have helped elevate the partnership even further. In one instance, she personally laundered to test decorating methods and inspected a batch of embroidered shirts, sending photos and notes about how each one held up.

“That level of dedication is rare and demonstrates how seriously she takes quality assurance,” said Laurencia, “well beyond the typical expectations for a vendor.”

Reliable Results Across Promotional Products

Johnson-Melloh has worked with Wildman to supply a wide variety of promotional items, including sunglasses, bucket hats, speakers, ice scrapers, golf balls, and divot tools. Across the board, the process has been seamless.

When minor issues have occurred, like dirty or misrouted shipments, Danielle responded quickly and professionally, often showing more urgency than the client. That kind of accountability is what sets Wildman apart.

Apparel That Works For The Entire Team

Branded apparel is an important part of daily operations at Johnson-Melloh, especially for the 100+ field technicians and 20 office team members. Field crews go through multiple shirts per quarter, while office staff tend to wear the higher-end pieces.

According to Laurencia, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Embroidery quality stands out, and items like bucket hats were a major hit at company events.

Wildman has consistently outperformed other vendors Johnson-Melloh has worked with in the past.

“Previous suppliers were plagued by issues like billing errors, delivery problems, and poor-quality products”, said Laurencia. “In contrast, Wildman provides reliable service, competitive pricing, and consistently excellent products without sacrificing quality.”

A True Values-Driven Partner

While the partnership is still in its early stages, the impact is already visible. As more branded materials are transitioned through Wildman, the company expects to see continued growth in brand recognition and marketing value.

One of the reasons the relationship works so well is the alignment of values between the two companies. Wildman prioritizes people, family, and doing the right thing, just like Johnson-Melloh. That cultural fit has made the partnership not only productive but personally meaningful.

In fact, when Johnson-Melloh’s new Chief Business Officer, who serves on the board of the local Humane Society, learned about Wildman’s community involvement, it sparked an immediate connection.

More Than Just A Vendor

“At the end of the day, Wildman isn’t just a supplier, they’re a true partner,” said Laurencia.

“Their dedication, integrity, and customer-first mindset have made a tangible difference in Johnson-Melloh’s operations. It’s not just about the products they provide, it’s about the trust they’ve earned and the performance they deliver every step of the way.”
