when scott huskinson and clay broadbent started reminderband in 2005 , they were simply trying to accomplish what many other business owners originally set out to do : feed their families .
reminderband offers a wide variety of colorful customized wristbands , perfect for companies , organizations , school , non - profit organizations , cancer bracelets , daycares , fundraisers and awareness causes .
rt @ relaybatons : excited to get our @ reminderband in the mail next week . we’ll be giving them out at meets . who wants one ? ! ? 👉🏽🙋🏼♀ 🙋… 7 months ago
huskinson and broadbent recruited friends , family members , hired temporaries , and recruited an extra partner to join their team . broadbent said that reminderband sold eight or nine million wristbands online during that first year of business .
shawn has been with reminderband® since 2005 . he works with all aspects of our customer service department , including sales , order processing , art , and logistical flow . shawn brings several years of customer care and expertise to reminderband® and works hard to ensure your complete satisfaction . shawn loves cooking and video gaming in his spare time . he and his wife delaine are deeply patriotic and love spending time with their two daughters and twelve grand children .
silicone has been our mainstay for 12 years , but we’re excited to announce the addition of tyvek wristbands to the reminderband repertoire . and we can’t help but brag : we’ve got the best tyvek wristband builder on the internet .
as one of the first companies to offer custom silicone bracelets and wristbands , reminderband has been an innovator in our industry since we started in 2004 . our wristbands help empower people who wish to support , educate , and remember .
feeding a family is no easy task with huskinson’s seven kids and broadbent’s four . the two friends got to know each other while selling office products for corporate express , and they started reminderband in order to supplement the income from their full - time jobs .
after the first year , however , as competition increased and the demand for wristbands started to wane , reminderband gave rise to ifrogz , a business which designs and ships cases for apple products and smartphones on an international scale , and ear pollution , a brand of fashionable headphones and ear buds under the ifrogz company umbrella . although reminderband is still going , ifrogz has dwarfed its parent company and currently sells cases and headphones in big box stores across the nation and in about 30 different countries , according to broadbent .
with the passing of a close relative , we reached out to reminderband to have some commemorative wristbands made for the funeral . i had the pleasure of working with shawn lawlor , who is an absolute stud . he provided direction for me and offered his professional opinion on what would be the best thing for our situation . he made it very easy for us to get the font we wanted and some special logos as well . communication was prompt and clear . we were able to get exacty what we wanted . a huge thanks to shawn and the team at reminderband .
call 1 - 800 - 922 - 5401 , and talk with a helpful live rep in as few as 20 seconds . our talented customer service team has helped thousands share their message . customers praise our team .
a blessing ,
kind and helpful ,
and
fantastic .
experience great customer service from the folks at reminderband .
in business just seven months , ifrogz is closing in on 20 , 000 sales . not bad for a start - up company of 24 employees - 20 in logan , four in hong kong overseeing production by chinese contractors - that has done little promotion since being spun off from huskinson ' s other business , reminderband , a maker of multi - colored , message bearing silicone bracelets .
worked with shawn lawlor to order 1 , 000 wristbands for my company . he was incredibly helpful and understanding even though we wanted a custom color , font , and image , and despite us changing our minds multiple times throughout the process . the bands were produced very quickly and shipped over the weekend - - out on a friday and arrived at the office by monday . overall , i seriously recommend reminderband !
wuthrich said that the success of the company can be attributed at least in part to its close relationships with its partners and suppliers , whom they’ve worked with since the beginning of reminderband . according to wuthrich , the good relationship they’ve built with their partners in hong kong has given ifrogz its competitive edge in producing products quickly and being able to sell an innovative , creative product that gives lots of options to the consumer .
when lance armstrong’s livestrong foundation turned the silicone wristband into a fad , huskinson and broadbent realized that there was an untapped market for custom wristbands in small quantities . they developed a unique process where they could order the stretchy yet durable bands from china , then customize them in their rented storage shed for soccer teams , cub scout troops , individuals and anyone who was looking to order them on a scale smaller than what had previously been possible or affordable . reminderband still uses this process today .
welcome to the original no minimum custom silicone wristband company . since 2004 , most of our silicone wristbands have had no minimum purchase required . that means you can order as few as one customized wrist band or thousands . reminderband has an easy and fun shopping experience , and our customer service reps are friendly and live and work in the usa . our personalized rubber wristbands are the highest quality you will find on the market with 100 % pure , thick silicone and a beautiful cut . if you are looking for tyvek or event wristbands , head over to our sister site at urltoken .
we purchase all goods and services to support academic and research programs , as well as construction and renovation projects on main campus and at our extension sites . our purchases total approximately $ 120 million per year and include scientific equipment , chemicals , furnishings , computer equipment and supplies , and a multitude of maintenance , operating , and repair items . in addition , we are responsible for the purchase of a wide range of contracted services from individuals and corporations .

that is why scott huskinson and clay broadbent launched their tiny company in a cache valley industrial park last march . their mission : to encase and accessorize apple ' s popular line of portable music / video players - at last count , more than 60 million of them worldwide - one ipod at a time .
one of the things apple really got right with its ipods is that they are all about the ' mp3 [ digital music ] generation ' and the advent of the portable music player ,
says broadbent , ifrogz vice president .
they encourage creativity , allowing individually tailored media collections .
no doubt the combination of mp3 compression and the ipod ' s tiny , multigigabyte - capacity hard drives has led to an entertainment revolution . libraries of albums and movies that formerly filled shelves at home can now be carried around in a shirt pocket .
they provide cutting - edge technology , with the individual ' s tastes determining the play list . and yet , with the exception of rare
special edition
color schemes , ipods have come in just a few basic hues , usually black and white .
enter ifrogz and its patent - pending , three - part ipod case product . made of thick , durable silicone rubber , the customizable package starting at $ 29 includes the main case shell , dubbed the
wrapz
; an exterior protective cord , or
bandz
; and the
screenz ,
a transparent plastic sheet covering the ipod ' s face .
the screenz also incorporates an ever - growing selection of
wheel art ,
or decals covering the player ' s click wheel . choose from the hundreds available , or design your own online , even choosing your favorite photo for wheel art , if you wish .
along with the many available silicone colors , ifrogz estimates it can offer customers 319 , 124 variations , and counting . that , along with the tough , shock - resistant design of the cases , makes them different - ifrogz says better - than cheaper competitors .
the whole self - design thing is what makes us different
from other case suppliers , says huskinson , the company ' s president and ceo .
we were sort of latecomers to the game . there are a lot of ipod cases out there ; ours are just a lot better .
that has not stopped ifrogz from getting favorable reviews in several venues , and advertising in rolling stone and macworld magazines . jeremy horwitz , editor - in - chief of ilounge . com , recently gave the case a
highly recommended
; reviewer gary mazo told urltoken the ifrogz case was
one of the most well - thought - out , after - market ipod solutions out there .
huskinson and broadbent say their most treasured reviews come from everyday customers . so far , nearly 1 , 500 have posted comments on the urltoken web site .
most of the feedback is positive , some offer suggestions , too , and we welcome that ,
huskinson says .
jon of salt lake city praised the company for
a quality product that addresses all my ipod issues , from the color of the protective case down to the clear protective cover . . . . i was very pleased to have received my new ifrogz case several days earlier than expected .
pam of frontenac , kan . , said she had been frustrated in her search for a protective case in local stores , then found the ifrogz site during a google search .
i love the way the web site allows you to see the colors and wheel covers together before you purchase them . i have received numerous compliments on my hot pink / purple ipod !
she wrote .
tara of manchester , conn . , commented that ,
i have only one complaint about these . there are too many choices ! other than that , i think these are the hottest cases around !
slowly but surely , the utah company is trying to cash in on its good reviews . with an eye to retail expansion in the united states , it recently opened a pilot shopping and design portal on australia ' s digital home store web site .
and then there is huskinson ' s pride and joy : the frog rod .
painted with the company ' s logo , the customized toyota fj cruiser recently began its promotional mission with trips to reno , las vegas , hollywood and long beach , calif . more trips are planned as events and opportunities arise .
“purchased for our company outing . turn around time was surprisingly fast . great quality product . ”
“i have purchased key chains in bulk and a few bracelets . both orders turned out great . i will shop at urltoken in the future . very satisfied customer . ”
“it has been a great experience . we will leave for peru on 7 / 30 , so if there is anyway to get the bands even before the specified time so we can get them packed that would be phenomenal ! ”

so that’s our big tyvek bombshell ! keep us in mind if you’ve got an event , cause , or business that could use custom disposable wristbands . let us know if there’s patterns , fonts , or images you’d like to see that aren’t already in our builder . happy designing !

shares of salt lake city - based zagg inc . , which sells protective film coverings to keep electronic devices scratch - and - dent free , rose 18 . 5 percent wednesday , a day after the company announced it made its first acquisition as a public company .
zagg purchased logan - based ifrogz inc . for $ 105 million in a transaction that consisted of $ 50 million in cash , 4 . 4 million restricted shares of zagg ' s common stock and the assumption of $ 5 million of ifrogz debt .
they fit perfectly with zagg ,
said robert pedersen ii , zagg ' s president and ceo .
their products are highly complementary to our own . and that will allow us to immediately broaden our product line and drive the growth of our retail footprint .
the logan company produces protective cases , headphones and earbuds for smartphones , electronic tablets and other mobile devices . it generated $ 40 . 9 million in revenue last year , with sales this year projected to top $ 60 million .
scott huskinson , ifrogz ' s president , said the acquisition was an
amazing
opportunity for the company he co - founded with partner clay broadbent .
they are strong [ in product areas ] where we are weak ,
huskinson said .
and they are weak in areas where we are strong . the opportunity for us to combine and take advantage of scale is of major league importance to our future .
one securities analyst who follows zagg , mike malouf of craig - hallum capital group inc . , said in a research note that he anticipates the acquisition will add 7 cents per share to the company ' s earnings in 2011 and 16 cents in 2012 .
ifrogz has strong relationships with existing zagg retailers such as best buy and at & t . however they bring wal - mart to the mix where zagg has no exposure . zagg on the other hand , can bring relationships with verizon , sprint and carphone warehouse to the table as potential retailers for ifrogz ' s products ,
he wrote .
for its first quarter ended march 31 , zagg reported revenue of $ 27 million , a 207 percent increase over the same quarter of the previous year . net income was $ 3 . 3 million , or 13 cents per share , a 312 percent increase .
pedersen said going forward , ifrogz will operate as a wholly - owned subsidiary of zagg and continue to be based in logan with its workforce of 45 remaining in place .
they [ ifrogz ] already are extremely profitable , so there is no need to make any big changes .
pedersen said he first met ifrogz ' s founders in the fall of 2006 while attending a trade show in new york .
we realized both companies were from utah and had dinner together . we decided we should stay in touch , and we did .

customer service representative stephanie was so helpful , nice & patience with me as she walked me through the process of ordering . i was up all night & kept messing up so it was both a pleasant surprise that a live person answered the phone right away then stephanie had me start over then was able to see my mistake & fixed it which in the end saved me $ 20 ! awesome ! !
i ordered custom bands a month in advance for my little sister ' s 21st birthday weekend . when they arrived , a week before her birthday , the print was very off center . i contacted the team to have the order replaced , but they were not able to provide the same color - filled ones by the time of my sister ' s birthday since the color processing takes place in china . i ' m fairly disappointed .
i originally ordered from reminderbands a month or so ago . at that time , the sizing recommendation on the website stated for a mixed group of children and adults , order medium . based on the suggestion of the site , i ordered all medium bands . when the bands arrived , they barely fit a 130lb adult woman . i contacted the company because i was extremely disappointed that at their recommendation the bands would not fit the majority of the recipients . to whoever i originally talked to , thank you . you are an amazing customer service representative . this person offered to refund our money so i could place a new order . i sent the bands back and received the refund promptly and correctly . i was very impressed by this act of customer retention so a week or so later i called back to place a new order with some xl bands . you cannot order xl bands on the site and need to call to order them . unfortunately my experience calling did not match my experience with the first representative . when i called , shawn answered the phone was shocked i got a refund . he actually said to me ,
well let me tell you i am the supervisor here and i would not have refunded your money
. who says that ? he said that he was surprised i returned to his company . i advised him due to the extreme professionalism of who i worked with earlier and them refunding my money was why i returned . shawn then tried to talk me out of ordering the xl bands and kept repeating that their sizes were not guaranteed . he stated the xl is only for a
300lb linebacker
. he was surprised when i told him i did in fact print out the measuring paper to scale and that the xl was the correct size for myself and my mother in law . i decided not to re order from this company because i did not feel like i was treated with respect when i called to place an order . all shawn did was confuse me on what i needed and then place doubt in my mind that his bands and sizes would be what i needed . i was hoping to get the bracelets for the passing of my 22yr old brother ' s memorial . someone who is working in the field of memorial products should show more compassion for their customers .
ordered paper bracelets ( concert style ) they came in and are adorable . so happy with the quality of them !
i order bands on online in november . i was super pleased with the quality and how i received them on time . the bands represented me being a brain tumor survivor and to bring awareness about brain tumors . i just ordered some on the phone with shawn lawlor due to not knowing how to reorder the same ones . he was very patient and detailed with giving me different price rates , and made me feel comfortable due to not trying to make me purchase more than i wanted and just stating the facts . love this company and their products ! highly recommend !

the first silicone wristbands that were introduced to america were in 2004 and were the distinct yellow “livestrong” rubber wristbands that were a global symbol for defeating cancer and essentially , living strong . since that time , silicone bracelets have become a favorite among kids , teens , young adults and adults worldwide . why has this phenomenon become so popular ?
these bracelets are made from natural silicone rubber . they are elastic , not easily broken , are not susceptible to high temperatures and have an easy wear - ability factor .
awareness bracelets are unscented and virtually harmless . silicone is known as being environmentally friendly , making it an excellent choice for people in today’s environmentally conscious world .
silicone wristbands are often associated with promotional activities , organized events , music concerts and sports . in fact , as a blank canvas , promotional band wristbands can convey a number of meanings , pledges , saying and mottos .
many corporate conglomerates have used silicone wristbands to advertise products . this includes mcdonalds , puma and even nike .
as wristbands are fashionable but inexpensive , it makes them extremely cost - efficient to mass - produce . this is why these types of advertising mediums are such an excellent option for non - profit organizations looking for fun fundraising tools .
while silicone wristbands have developed into modernized jewelry that offers an ideal vessel for advertising , bracelets dates back to 5 , 000 b . c . egyptians made bracelets from stones , bones and woods and they often served spiritual and religious interests . the traditional scarab bracelet was the most popular , representing regeneration and rebirth . in fact , russian archaeologists found several artifacts , including a bracelet , and when carbon tested dated to 40 , 000 b . p .
eventually bracelets evolved into using whatever materials and metals were convenient , including weaving string together to form bracelets , which was a common tradition in bulgaria and greece . in india , the number of bracelet bangles often denotes a woman’s martial status and in latin america , the traditional azabache bracelets are worn to offer protection against the evil eye .
there are a number of bracelet styles , including charm bracelets , bangles , slap bracelets , beaded bracelets , link bracelets , alternative health bracelets and sports bracelets . the latter is most often associated with silicone wristbands .

editor ' s note : this is the first in a series on little - known local businesses for the enterprise page .
“our intent was to have a company where we could provide for our families , and maybe make a good workplace for other people as well , ” broadbent said .
“we developed ( our process ) and we put up a website and it just went crazy , ” broadbent said . “the first day we came in and i think we had 60 or 70 emails , of people either wanting to order or with questions ( about ordering ) . . . the next day we had 80 emails , the day after that we had 100 . ”
but no matter how international ifrogz gets , huskinson and broadbent said that the company will always call cache valley home .
“i’ve always felt like i work to live and not live to work , ” huskinson said . “so even if i wasn’t with this company , i would never see myself ( moving ) to get a better job . i would try to adapt where i love to live , to my work . ”
that means as long as huskinson and broadbent have their way , the designs for the trendy cases and audio accessories which sell at best buy , walmart and at & t stores all over the u . s . will always originate right here in cache valley with ifrogz’ creative design team .
“all of the design work is done in house , and we use local talent , ” said kent wuthrich , who has worked as the creative design director for ifrogz since the beginning of the company . “we try to keep it real and ( hire ) people from around here . ”
wuthrich said the design process for new products usually begins with a new season or a new product , such as the new iphone 4 that will be available on the verizon network next month .
once initial ideas are discussed and sketches made , wuthrich and his design team use a computer program to create virtual prototypes . the manufacturer in china then takes the design , creates a prototype and sends it back to cache valley for final approval . the design team will then make any necessary changes and send it back again .
once the product is exactly how they want it , which wuthrich said sometimes takes several trips back and forth , it’s ready for the ifrogz sales team to take to retailers and collect orders . wuthrich said that part of what ifrogz does is try to forecast how well new products will do so that when apple comes out with a new ipod or iphone , ifrogz will have enough cases to meet demand .
although ifrogz has achieved a measure of success that neither huskinson or broadbent had ever anticipated , they hesitate to rest on their laurels or take too much of the credit .
“we feel blessed and grateful to have a business that’s doing what it’s doing , but by no means do we feel like it’s because we’re geniuses or anything , ” huskinson said . “it’s fortunate that we have good people . . . without them , we wouldn’t be where we’re at . ”
with ifrogz doing well , huskinson and broadbent have found a myriad of ways to give back to the community from which they launched their business . in addition to creating jobs , ifrogz has given donations to schools here in cache valley , sponsored community events and athletes , even built a library in china and donated soccer balls to kids in guatemala .
but huskinson , who hesitated even mentioning the extent to which ifrogz has helped the community , said they didn’t do it in order to get praise or recognition . they did it because they felt it was the right thing to do .
“when we first started , it was just . . . a couple of guys starting a business , and now as it’s grown into what it is , ” huskinson said . “i believe we currently have around 50 employees here in cache valley — and your mindset really changes — that this isn’t our business anymore , this is our employees’ business , this is the community’s business , you might say , and we have an obligation to do the right things that will keep it going . ”
rebecca smith , technical writer and social media guru for the company , said that ifrogz really is a great place to work . “they treat us very well here , ” she said . “it’s not just fluff for a newspaper article , they really are good people . ”
for those thinking about starting a business of their own , huskinson offered this advice : “first thing you have to ask yourself , is your spouse supportive of what you want to do ? ” he said . “are they willing to ride the roller coaster of owning a business ? if not , you might want to reconsider what you want to do and just take a nine - to - five job . then go with what you believe and follow your gut — you’ll get all sorts of nay - sayers , but sometimes you still have to go with your gut . ”
