Melanie began her career here 27 years ago (she says she was only 9 years old….this must have been before the child labor laws were enacted). She began as a part time secretary and worked her way up to office manager. She earned her Certified Advertising Specialist designation from the Promotional Products Association International in 1997.

When Keith bought the company she became his executive assistant and right hand. She is now referred to as Keith’s “Work Wife” completing his thoughts and sentences before he can verbalize them. She assists his clients as well as her own and serves as the organization’s counselor, coach and commandant.

Her son Brian is 26 and enjoys riding motorcycles. She spends most of her free time with her 15-year old daughter Christina supporting her in sports, cheerleading, beauty pageants and many other activities at Hillcrest Christian School.

A "curious" young man he enjoys tearing things apart (real and virtual) and putting them back together again or making it his slave. He lives in a world we know little about. We constantly have to remind him to stop talking in dots, symbols and numbers.

Retired from AT&T in June of 2007, after 28 years of service. Most of that time was customer service, answering calls coming in from a nine state area. Joined the LogoStoreUSA team in July, 2008, to help out with the 40th anniversary celebration. I got interested in the industry, Keith offered me a position to stay, so a temporary job turned into a permanent one. I have two grown sons, Billy and Stephen, and one grandson, Chase. I love gardening and hanging out with my husband, Mac.

Vernon is new to the team and brings a wealth of ideas and energy. With a bachelor of science in Marketing from Mississippi State University and 27 years of sales management mostly in the educational arena. He is enjoying being able to pull all of his experiences and expertise to the task of helping some old and many new clients with their needs.

Greg is Mr.UPS. Picking up and deliverying goods with a smile each and every day. "Brown" as we call him represents precisely the image UPS is trying to get across with their "What can brown do for you?" campaign. Not your average delivery person, he goes "above and beyond" to provide outstanding service with a great attitude. We even have his cell phone number in case we need to get a package delivered early or have one picked up late. We consider him a part of the team and a partner in delivering promotional success for our clients.

Jamie is the 13 year old daughter of Keith and Glenda Ferguson. Born on March 17th, she is the real deal-a true Leprechaun. A talented artist - she sings solo at events and churches, dances and performs in plays. She is a member of the All-State Junior High Mississippi Honor Choir. An outstanding student who has aspirations of attending Oxford University (the one in England not Mississippi, of course). She is an accomplished figure skater and her great obession is shopping and collecting shoes, purses and lip gloss. She gives constant encouragement for dad to work harder. The prayer is that she'll become rich and famous and provide some retirement income for her old parents.

In 1967 Jim followed his dream and with help from his brother Lowell established his own company, Dixie Advertising. Back then it consisted mostly of selling imprinted pens, calendars, matchbooks and about 100 other "giveaways" as they were called back then. A true salesman at heart with a genuine and sincere desire to help his customers succeed, his "can do" attitude and an unwillingness to accept failure persisted and prevailed and made it possible for him to achieve his goals. His wife Frances join him in the work and their strong partnership in marriage and business enabled them to create a successful life and company. In 1994 they decided they were ready to retire and Keith bought the company. They spend their time traveling in their RV, fishing, woodworking, and enjoying their family, friends and church.

As Founder, Father and Friend his principles continue to guide us. The greatest lesson he has ever taught us is to:

Trust God, Work Hard, Help Others.

Jesus is the one we believe to be Savior of the world. He is THE center and purpose of all exisistence and eternity. We try to live our lives and conduct our business in a way that would be pleasing to Him. Unfortunately we fall short of that goal way too often. Thankfully, His Love, Mercy and Grace are ever present encouraging us to accept His forgiveness and to do better next time. Each new day is a chance to begin again.

Jesus has quite a few accomplishments...... far too many for us to detail here. For more on His life visit http://www.biblegateway.com/

Jesus is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

He has no phone or email...Contact him directly by Praying!

When I say... “I am a Christian”

I'm not shouting “I'm clean livin”

I'm whispering “I was lost,

Now I'm found and forgiven”

When I say... “I am a Christian”

I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble

and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say... “I am a Christian”

I'm not trying to be strong.

I'm professing that I'm weak

and need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say... “I am a Christian”

I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed

and need God to clean up my mess.

When I say... “I am a Christian”

I'm not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are far too visible

but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... “I am a Christian”

I still feel the sting of pain,

I have my share of heartaches

So I call upon his name.

When I say... “I am a Christian”

I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner

who received God's good grace, somehow.
