Thousands of attendees gathered in Corner Brook this week to celebrate the 50th Newfoundland and Labrador Summer Games, with a local business playing a key role in providing event merchandise. MegaTrends, a Corner Brook company specializing in embroidery, screen printing, and signage, produced numerous items for the occasion, including thousands of T-shirts, 3,000 lanyards, and around 1,400 medals.
Owner Rob Marche shared with CBC News that the experience of creating merchandise for the event has been both exciting and challenging, emphasizing the essence of entrepreneurship. Having been involved in T-shirt printing since the early 2000s, Marche expressed gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to such a significant event, particularly noting the joy of seeing participants proudly wearing the branded merchandise.
Marche highlighted the symbolic importance of donning the N.L. Games logo-adorned T-shirts, suggesting that it fosters a sense of belonging and unity among participants. In preparation for the event, an online store was launched a few weeks prior to efficiently manage the high demand for merchandise, which Marche described as overwhelming but manageable due to the efficiency of their automatic screen printer.
Acknowledging the pivotal role of his dedicated team at MegaTrends, Marche commended their hard work and emphasized the importance of teamwork in achieving success. He credited the efficiency of the automatic screen printer for facilitating the fulfillment of numerous orders, emphasizing the machine’s high capacity and impact on productivity.
Marche reflected on the positive impact of wearing event merchandise, drawing a parallel to sports jerseys boosting player performance, stating, “Wearing merch, you play better. That’s the way I like to say it.” The involvement of MegaTrends in creating the N.L. Games merchandise was highlighted as a significant and humbling experience for the business and its team.
