Josh Harper

Co-Owner

Josh Harper is the Co-Owner of Metro Promotional Services, where he helps businesses strengthen their brands through high-quality printing and promotional products. Combining a marketing background with a hands-on approach to customer service, Josh works closely with clients to identify products that align with their goals, whether they are preparing for trade shows, employee recognition programs, corporate events, community outreach, or everyday branding initiatives. As part of a family actively involved in the company’s day-to-day operations, he is committed to maintaining the personalized service and long-standing relationships that have helped Metro Promotional Services serve customers for more than 58 years. 

Education

Josh earned a degree in Marketing from Ball State, providing him with a strong foundation in branding, consumer engagement, and strategic communication. His educational background complements his work in the promotional products industry, where understanding how businesses connect with their audiences is just as important as selecting the right products. The combination of formal marketing education and practical experience allows him to help customers make informed decisions about branded merchandise and printed materials that support their marketing objectives.

A Family Tradition of Service

Metro Promotional Services has built a reputation through more than 68 years of experience serving businesses with promotional products and printing solutions. Josh is proud to continue that legacy as part of a family that remains involved in the company’s daily operations. This family-centered approach contributes to a business culture focused on responsiveness, consistency, and personal attention.

Working alongside family members gives Josh a unique perspective on the importance of long-term relationships. Rather than viewing projects as one-time transactions, he values building lasting partnerships with organizations that return for ongoing promotional and branding needs. That commitment is reflected in the company’s emphasis on understanding each client’s goals before recommending products or solutions. 

Helping Businesses Bring Their Brands to Life

Josh’s work centers on helping organizations find promotional products and printed materials that leave a lasting impression. Metro Promotional Services offers a broad selection of customizable items, including apparel, drinkware, technology accessories, bags, writing instruments, sustainable products, and other promotional merchandise designed to support marketing campaigns and brand recognition. 

Because every business has different objectives, Josh believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to promotional marketing. Some clients are preparing for industry events and trade shows, while others are recognizing employees, launching new products, welcoming new hires, or supporting community initiatives. By understanding the purpose behind each project, he helps customers identify products that fit their audience, budget, and branding goals.

His marketing background also helps him appreciate how promotional products fit into broader business strategies. Rather than focusing solely on individual items, Josh works to ensure that branded merchandise supports a company’s overall message and customer experience.

Areas of Expertise

Josh’s primary area of expertise is printing and promotional branding. Through Metro Promotional Services, he helps clients navigate a wide variety of customizable products designed to increase visibility and reinforce brand recognition.

The company’s offerings include promotional apparel, drinkware, technology products, bags, writing tools, accessories, and sustainable promotional items. Metro Promotional Services also provides resources for organizations planning trade shows, corporate events, employee appreciation initiatives, fundraising campaigns, holiday gifting, wellness programs, and many other promotional activities. 

Josh enjoys helping clients evaluate available options so they can choose products that align with both their marketing goals and intended audience. Whether a customer already knows exactly what they need or is simply looking for ideas, he works to make the selection process straightforward and productive.

Supporting Today’s Promotional Needs

Modern promotional marketing continues to evolve as organizations seek practical, memorable products that people use every day.

This collaborative approach reflects the company’s commitment to providing attentive service while continuing a long-standing tradition of helping businesses promote themselves effectively.

Interests

Outside of work, Josh enjoys staying active and spending time with others. He is an avid pickleball player and has a strong passion for sports. Those interests complement his outgoing personality and approachable style, qualities that help him build meaningful relationships with customers, colleagues, and members of the community.

People who work with Josh often appreciate his friendly demeanor and willingness to listen. He believes that successful business relationships begin with understanding each customer’s needs and providing thoughtful guidance throughout the promotional product selection process.
