Fred Thompson Campaign Heats Up With Buttons Fit For a President

Phoenix, Ariz. - Everyone Loves Buttons, Inc. (ELBusa), announced today (Thursday) that Presidential Candidate Fred Thompson's Campaign has teamed up with ELBusa, a woman-owned corporation based in Phoenix, Ariz. ELBusa, one of America's largest promotional button manufacturers has partnered with Friends of Fred Thompson, Inc., as licensee of official "Fred08" products.

ELBusa specializes in custom pin-back buttons, magnets, vinyl banners, stickers and other promotional products.

"The response has been overwhelming with 9,000 visits the first weekend," said President Maura Statman, ELBusa Creations, the only woman-owned business providing official licensed promotional products in the GOP Presidential Campaign. "We are thrilled to be operating the official online store, along with providing the Thompson Campaign with their collateral." Statman warns that Thompson supporters may be exposed to numerous knock-off websites selling lesser quality, unofficial merchandise, some of which may not be entirely made in the USA.

ELBusa developed, owns and manages www.OfficialFred08Store.com. This site is prominently linked from the candidate's main website, www.fred08.com, and allows campaign supporters to purchase official licensed products to promote Senator Thompson's candidacy for President.

ELBusa has also hired MAYO Communications, a national publicity firm based in Los Angeles, with offices in New York and San Diego, to get the message out about the new Friends of Fred Thompson partnership and upcoming store product line for all political campaigns and corporate promotional products needs.

"We take special care and pride in the work we do. Our detailed and high energy work style allows us to better meet our customers' most urgent needs,"explained Statman.

Fred08's unconventional approach to campaigning has prompted ELBusa to develop a variety of US made merchandise, displaying more innovative products and designs compared to other online Presidential stores.
