George Patton Associates,
Inc. is a 38 year old "national direct marketing" company AND "manufacturer
of marketing displays". Our direct marketing divisions include the ownership
of many "business to business ecommerce websites associated with marketing
products, POP Displays, Store Fixtures, Hotel & Restaurant Products, Institutional
and Facility products, Trade Show Exhibit Displays and much more. The company
operates more than 20 websites which can be seen at the portal www.displayshops.com.
Today GPA services over 150,000 active, unique customers each year, and its websites
host over 20,000 unique visitors each day. In addition to E-commerce Marketing
via the internet, GPA also functions as a more traditional "business to business"
direct marketer, mailing over 2,000,000 printed company catalogs each year across
a diverse universe of business customers.
The real value is when GPA
leverages its "direct marketing" capabilities with its "real manufacturing
abilities". We are a "real display manufacturer" with "real
people", in business since 1974. We currently occupy more than 210,000 square
feet of manufacturing and warehouse space in 4 buildings, including our Company
Headquarters pictured at right. Our direct marketing benefits our customers who
enjoy highly competitive pricing by being able to purchase directly from the manufacturer.
For products not manufactured by GPA (but sold by GPA through its websites and
catalogs) our customers further benefit from our ability to leverage extensive
manufacturing and quality control knowhow, and hold 3rd party vendors accountable
for quality workmanship and exacting specifications.

Company Headquarters in Bristol, RI The Company
was incorporated in 1974 by George Patton, who spent off-hours pursuing the freelance
design of display products for several local Rhode Island companies. The majority
of time and effort went into no-cost prototypes "for show" with the
hope that the "big" order would come. Although successful many times,
this roller-coaster of sales hopes prompted the introduction of a line of proprietary,
pre-made products.
With the help of his two sons, Tom and Chris Patton,
George realized that a steady, more predictable streamline of business could be
achieved. The new emphasis became stock products, always available from inventory.
Why should you
choose us?
Largest Display Warehouse with LIVE INVENTORY:
We are the leading "in stock" display manufacturer with the largest
display warehouse in the country. With thousands of unique product SKUs and a
physical inventory of more than 1,000,000 units on any given day, we know of no
other competitor remotely close to this status. George Patton Associates has four
physical warehouses (Bristol, RI and Warren, RI) and has just greatly expanded
its main warehouse location. Many POP and trade show display manufacturers won't
put "live inventory, actual quantities in stock" on their web pages.
This separates us from virtual brokers. In order to publicize live inventories,
you need to offer same day shipping for the customer!
Customer Service:
When you call us you get "live"
customer service, not a voice mail system. Not only is it "live"
customer service, but product knowledgeable. We have an on site call center with
over 25 customer care specialists. Our professional team is available Monday-Thursday
8:00am- 6:30 pm EST, and Fridays 8:00 am- 5:30 pm EST. These on site call center
reps are trained to provide the most knowledgeable service, so that any questions
you have about products, shipping quotes, and delivery services can be answered
in a timely fashion. We also offer real "live" chat on our website pages,
with immediate response.
Concept to Completion - Fast Custom Jobs:
We are a leading "custom" point of purchase and trade show display
fabricator and manufacturer. Our production floor has custom jobs running every
day; each one evolved and developed from our customer's own creativity and product
guidelines. Both our model making department and our "small runs" department
develop unique custom samples and prototypes in hours, not days. During the process
these custom samples are integrated into final end-use point of sale marketing
displays on our own shop and production floors.
A Real Shipping Department:
Located right inside
our warehouse, our on site shipping department ensures that you receive your orders
quickly. If your in-stock order is placed by 1:00 p.m. EST it gets shipped the
same day! We have pickers and packers working to get your shipments out all day
long. There are over ten truck trailers daily (FedEx, UPS, as well as common carriers)
exiting our loading docks with full shipments. With a real shipping department,
we control the boxing configurations, optimizing your freight cost burden. We
also calculate comparative costs to save you money and opt to use drop shipping
to your 362 retail, dealer, or branch locations to avoid fulfillment house charges
and double shipping costs.
Real Production and Assembly Departments:
We are
a credible display company with real workers. We produce hundreds of displays
daily to ensure that our warehouse stays stocked for the fastest possible service.
We have a team of manufacturers expertly trained in acrylic cutting and bending,
woodworking, silk-screening, varnishing, model making, and various other fields.
We are a company with integrity and strong work ethic. Our owners are hands-on
workers who know the industry and grew up working the floor and shipping departments.
Unlimited Customer Accolades:
Success for over 30 years does not come from taking short cuts! Our long-term
success has been in part due to our ability to work for the customer and put him
or her first. We have an impeccable heritage of delivering exactly what the customer
expected, and when he or she expected that delivery. Our customer list and references
include such big names as McDonalds, Bank of America, Subaru, Kohler and Discover
Card.
