Ambassador Profile
Judi Derks, Effective Promotions and Incentives
Judi Derks started Effective Promotions & Incentives in 1993 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Because of her husband's job they moved to Lenexa in 1996. While maintaining customers in St. Joseph, she has established a thriving business here. The Lenexa Chamber has been a key in that success. Judi joined the Lenexa Chamber in 1997 & immediately became a diplomat (now the Chairman's Ambassadors). She thinks getting involved & being active is very important.
Selling advertising specialties is a competitive business & Judi loves the challenge. Customer satisfaction is the company's top priority. The Internet has really opened the market. Customers are very technologically savvy. Judi provides the personal touch that you can't get from a web site. Being right here in Lenexa she is just minutes away from being in her customer's office, in person. You can't get that from a company out of state!
Judi is also very involved in the schools her 3 daughters attend. Meredith is a freshman at Shawnee Mission West, Alli is in 7th grade at Westridge & Natalie is a 1st grader at Christa McAuliffe. Judi loves the flexibility of selling advertising specialties because she can schedule around the girls activities. Being a member of 3 PTA's keeps her on her toes! The whole family is also very involved at their Church. Any spare time she finds she loves to shop, read & cheer on the MIZZOU Tigers.
