Facilisgroup and SanMar Celebrate Top Sales Performers with Exclusive Black Card Blitz Shopping Spree Experience

St. Louis, MO – January 27, 2026 — Facilisgroup, the leading technology provider for promotional product distributors, partnered with SanMar to reward standout sales professionals through the SanMar Black Card Blitz, an exclusive Facilisgroup incentive that culminated in a high-energy shopping spree at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace on Monday, January 12, in Las Vegas.

Designed to celebrate performance, partnership, and momentum, the Black Card Blitz rewarded sales reps who increased their business with SanMar during the contest period. Winners earned the opportunity to take part in the ultimate Vegas experience, including a luxury limo arrival, VIP-style welcome, and a one-hour shopping spree through iconic brands at one of the most recognizable retail destinations in the world.

“Black Card Blitz is a perfect example of what can happen when the right supplier partner pairs great products with an unforgettable experience,” said Michele Dando, Senior Vice President of Supplier Relations at Facilisgroup. “SanMar continues to be an incredible partner to our community, and we love creating moments like this that energize reps, celebrate wins, and strengthen relationships across the network.”

Throughout the experience, winners were greeted with champagne, “black carpet” flair, and on-site support from Facilisgroup team members who helped track purchases, manage bags, and keep the focus where it belonged, enjoying the moment, and celebrating the achievement.

“This experience has been the best by far,” said Michelle Fessak with Brandito New Jersey. “None of this would have been possible without SanMar and Facilisgroup. To think that I am part of such a wonderful group in this industry, it’s just incomparable to anything else. I just feel incredibly lucky.”

“Facilisgroup brings together an incredible group of distributors and sales professionals, and we’re proud to celebrate their success through an experience that matches their effort,” said Steve Cuthbert, Chief Revenue Officer at SanMar. “Black Card Blitz is all about appreciation and excitement, and it’s been amazing to see the energy it creates.”
