Aloha and Reliability Combined
Your business is growing, which is awesome. You’re looking to make the most of every customer and spread your brand’s love wherever you go.
The problem is, how do you get all the cool branded products you need, when and where you need them?
Wouldn’t it be great if you had a reliable, go-to marketing partner you could rely on to handle the entire process—from product design to manufacturing to fulfillment—for all your promotional branding?
At Kokua Promo, we can fulfill and connect all your “promo” needs. We offer high-quality products and services and are known for being reliable, consistent and on time (even with crazy deadlines).
As we see it, our job is to bring peace and calm to your world and do everything with an attitude of gratitude.
When it comes to marketing and promoting your brand, think of us as your one-stop shop— and the only shop you need. Why create a department to source your promo when you can partner with Kokua?
Kokua Promo is about putting aloha into action. We stand for a way of life—and for fulfilling the needs of every client. Our company is named after the idea of assisting others for their benefit, embodying “ohana” (family) and creating positive change in our communities.
We’ve built and sustain our business through great products, honest relationships and a genuine desire to give back. This approach fuels our partnership with you and evolves our Branding & Fulfillment services into a brand that feels true to your customers. Let us help your business thrive by spreading the essence of kokua through every touchpoint.

I’ve been working with Bob and the Kokua team for over 20 years, and they’ve never let me down. They always nail the look and feel—modern, on-point, and high quality. The quality of their work is impeccable, and their customer service is just as strong—responsive, helpful, and always on it. Prices are fair, turnaround is fast, and they make the whole process easy. There are tons of promo companies out there, but Kokua is the one I trust and keep coming back to.
Caleb Brown, Creative Director, Kinder’s
Bob is one of the kindest and most reliable resources I’ve had for my promo needs dating back to the early GoPro days and now in my latest venture, Kindhumans.
He’s genuine, hard working and always wants to help identify the best solutions for his clients. Bob is more than your typical vendor and treats his clients as friends.
Justin Wilkenfeld, Co-Founder and CEO, Kindhumans (formerly VP of Brand Integrity at GoPro)
Bob has superlative service & timely delivery of high quality product. His ability to make things happen is impressive.
Even when deadlines are ridiculous Bob finds a way to push things through. His rapport and good natured way of working with clients makes you wish more folks had his work ethic.

Summer Trammell, CCO, Storyteller Overland
Kokua has been an absolute game-changer for our custom merchandise needs. We were looking for a partner who could handle everything from unique workbooks and journals to branded mugs and shirts, and Kokua delivered in a big way. Their communication was fantastic – they were incredibly responsive, always kept us informed throughout the process, and were always proactive. We truly felt like they were invested in our success. But what really impressed us was their willingness to go the extra mile.
There were a few times when we had tight deadlines or specific requests, and Kokua bent over backwards to accommodate us. They never missed a beat! Overall, we can’t recommend Kokua highly enough. They’re a professional, thorough, and incredibly responsive team that truly goes above and beyond for their clients.
Emily Tuma, Marketing Coordinator, BetterLife
I manage a professional mountain bike race team and Kokua has been my go-to marketing resource for several years now. I have a wide range of needs each year: high quality custom apparel for the athletes, branded umbrellas, autograph posters, promo stickers for fans, one-off swag like tote bags and key chains, etc… It’s a long list, and I always have a deadline.
I used to have a list of different vendors that I would update with each new project, and now I just send a single email with what I’m after and Kokua handles it. The product is always on point, and on time. I highly recommend sending that first email!
