Valued Relationships Enhance Lives and Businesses!


Many small businesses are built on relationships and ours is that way as well! From school and church connections, to neighbors, family, friends, and professional partnerships, CSB Promo has evolved as a small business since Dec. 2000 from offering part-time event/party planning services, commercial monogramming/embroidery and personalized gifts, to becoming a full-service, marketing consulting, contract print and premiums company.  We continue to market, grow, and learn along side some of our clients as technology, social media, and other tools and conditions continue to improve/change.
One of our strongest client relationships has been with Ryan Hoover and the team at Fit to Fight, LLC. Our introduction came through a mutual friend/employee, and has evolved and grown to include positive, reciprocal business and friendships now exceeding 10 years! Fit to Fight, LLC is a worldwide personal fitness, fitness training, krav maga, tactical and self-defense training, and martial arts organization with two training centers in Charlotte and partner-affiliates across the world.  In a world where loyalty is a fleeting thought and competition consumes, strong personal and business relationships are evermore important and appreciated! We've worked with their team to provide custom fight gear, leisure logo wear, custom t-shirts, promotional products, custom wall graphics, and other customized products.


As I reflect on the branding and slogans we've helped FTF develop and produce over the years, it reminds me to keep things simple, and make connections matter! Their's and other brand messages, speak to many and draw us in as consumers but more importantly as humans.  In this uncertain world of violence, a skewed sense of rights, flag waving, an unstable mental/emotional conditions, Fit to Fight trains adults and youth to use "common sense before self defense."  As one of FTF's registered trademarks recognizes,"Everyone'e Fighting Something," so they teach/train students for emotional strength and endurance, as well as physical strength and defensive tactics. When ones become stronger in all of these ways, they can serve themselves, others, and the community more productively.

Our own son became a student of Fit to Fight Charlotte at the age of 5. He trained under several instructors, some who were working toward their own black belt, and some who had achieved one or more black belts in various martial arts and continued their own training.  Along the way he also worked with junior instructor helpers who were in the pursuit of achieving personal fitness and martial goals and extremely helpful in the process. The Fit to Fight instructor approach was consistent whether working with youth or adults. It involves consistency of terms and technique, respect, and education along with persistence and endurance. Not easy, but worth the effort, our son earned his junior black belt over a three year period and brought others to Fit to Fight as friend parents inquired more about his program.

FTF coach trainers are reliable, respectful, qualified, and strive to share these skills and more with the communities they serve across the world! #philanthropy #lifeskills #characterbuilding #growthindiscomfort

Our sincere thanks to the Fit to Fight team and to all of our CSB Promo clients for helping make a great relationships mutually beneficial!

We feel fortunate and look forward to ongoing, collaborative work opportunities and enriched personal relationships!
