About Us

Meet Melanie Fathali, owner of iAdvertise.

I don’t like to toot my own horn, so I’ll keep this short—I’m a San Francisco Bay Area native with an affinity for the Golden Gate Bridge, a passion for business, and a flair for the creative.  

I have 26 years of experience in marketing and product distribution, starting with my first job in a retail trophy store to various positions at a promotional product supplier, (a factory)! After a 5-year hiatus from the marketing world to study the arts and to work in the Bayfront Theater (which had a stunning view of the Golden Gate Bridge!), I am on the distribution side of advertising specialties and I LOVE my business.

These work roads lead to my having the knowledge to position the right product for any event and deliver it on time.  My clients enjoy working with me because they know that I care about them as well as the success of the project or event they are responsible for.

The product selection available to you is vast, and my job is to navigate through it for you. We follow things that are trending in your industry to bring a fresh approach to your events. We are aware that time and resources may be an issue for some clients, so we can handle the entire project from ideas to packaging to fulfillment. iAdvertise is affiliated with a leading international organization, iPROMOTEu. This affiliation allows my clients the best selection for leading suppliers all with the security of knowing your next promotion will be filled with safe and compliant merchandise. Domestic or overseas production on orders any size is never an issue.

TESTIMONIALS

"Extremely Impressed!"

I was in a big time crunch and needed some quality merchandise for my new nonprofit quickly. I reached out to Melanie and iAdvertise and was extremely impressed with her response time, product knowledge, and professionalism. She found exactly the products I was looking for, quickly provide me with product samples, met my tight timeline, and delivered excellent personalized products that reflect our brand and mission – products we wanted to put our name on! I will use iAdvetrtise again and again and highly recommend them for your organization.

"No customer is too small!"

I’ve been working with Melanie for over a year now, and when I say, “No customer is too small for Melanie,” I’m talking about myself. From my very first order with her (a mere 100 quantity of an item), she never batted an eye, and instead made me feel like the most important customer she had. She is always happy to help me no matter the size of my order, and very much embodies the attitude of Partner, rather than Vendor. Her vast experience places her head and shoulders above other corporate promotional representatives I’ve worked with in the past – there’s nothing she can’t hunt down! In addition, she is a problem solver, and makes suggestions I would never have thought of, like doing drop-shipments from the factory to my multiple locations to save on shipping, and ordering large quantities of items we need frequently but doing smaller monthly shipments/payments so our budget isn’t stressed. She has energy, enthusiasm, ideas, and loves it when I send a challenge her way. I would say that she goes Above and Beyond, but something tells me this is just her normal way of operating, and that all her customers would agree. In addition, she never fails to make me look good to my colleagues as she regularly delivers before my deadlines and keeps me within my budget. I can’t recommend her strongly enough.

"Always a quick response and a real pleasure to work with."

I had not ordered custom items for years, so when I reached out to my previous vendor, it was not surprising to find that he had retired. I never thought I would find someone else so easy to work with.  Then I met Melanie! She has been terrific on all of our orders, both small and large. Always a quick response and a real pleasure to work with. Now I look forward to placing orders because I know I will get a great product and great service. Thanks Melanie!
