About Us

Welcome to Maximum Promotions! Since 1982, we’ve been proudly serving customers with high-quality promotional products. What began as a college project to redesign a football jersey has since evolved into a leading provider of custom promotional items, including Applique banners, custom flags, flagpoles, shirts, and more, sold nationwide.

Our Story: A Legacy of Quality and Craftsmanship

Founded by Mark Nelsen, Maximum Promotions has grown from a small venture into a trusted name in the promotional products industry. Over the past 40+ years, we've built our reputation by providing exceptional products and services tailored to the needs of our clients. Despite our national reach, we’ve always remained rooted in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and maintained an in-house production department to ensure the highest quality control.

In the aftermath of 9/11, our Sioux Falls production team played a crucial role by handcrafting American flags during the nationwide flag shortage. While we no longer offer this service, we continue to make sure that all of our flags are American-made, and we handle all flag repairs locally in-house.

Mastering the Art of Applique Banners

At Maximum Promotions, we specialize in Applique banners, a unique and durable method that combines intricate craftsmanship and high-quality materials to create vibrant, long-lasting banners. Applique banners are created by sewing fabric pieces onto a base material, resulting in a design that stands out with rich color and texture. Our skilled team in Sioux Falls handcrafts each Applique banner with precision, ensuring that every banner we produce is a masterpiece that reflects your organization's pride and dedication.

Whether you need a banner for a sports event, a trade show, or a business promotion, our Applique banners are built to last for decades, offering unparalleled durability and aesthetic appeal. We believe in delivering the highest-quality products that make an impact and stand the test of time.
