About us

Mr. Zhonghan Lin (Lin) founded LinJack Promo in 2024 as a North American supplier of promotional giveaways and college merchandise for both profitable and non-profitable organizations. Our business strives to be a more reliable, innovative, and knowledgeable promotional giveaways and college gear supplier. LinJack Promo is committed to collaborating with manufacturers to provide clients with a greater selection of high-value products.

 

The name of the brand, LinJack Promo, is a tribute to the camaraderie between Jack (Phong Truong Luu) and Lin. Jack and Lin were college students who were studying abroad in Normal, Illinois. Their initial encounter took place in a college religion course at Heartland Community College in 2016. The relationship continued to develop over the subsequent five years, culminating on the final day of college at Illinois State University in 2021. We often study together at Milner Library until it closes, and we also enjoy occasional road trips. It was quite crazy. After studying, we would decide on the spot to drive two and a half hours from central Illinois to either Chicago or St. Louis just to get some Vietnamese Pho and appetizers.

 

Having lived in the United States for more than seven years, Lin has observed a substantial demand for promotional gifts here. In college towns, apartment leasing companies offer prospective clients free T-shirts and pens. On the day of orientation, every freshman student will get small gifts, including lanyards, pencils, backpacks, and card holders featuring the college logos. The general public particularly favors college-themed goods, drawing in students, their families, and tourists to explore and shop in the store.

 

After returning to China, Lin caught up with one of his friends over a social media app, who works in the marketing department of a U.S.-based company. She revealed to Lin during a conversation that she was seeking promotional giveaways for the company. Lin was determined to establish a business in the United States after realizing the essential need in the U.S. promotional gifts industry again.
