Ideas Unlimited

Sam Rosenblum left his job as a financial advisor in 1971 and together with his wife Maureen, started his own advertising specialties company called "Ideas Unlimited" in the spare bedroom of their Memphis home. Sam was known for his strong dedication to his family and customers, and his integrity was highly respected. He had a natural talent for sales and believed that branded merchandise added value to people's lives and could create memorable experiences. Sam believed that the right product, at the right time, and at the right price, had the power to change someone's life. As Ideas Unlimited grew, it outgrew its humble beginnings in the spare bedroom and Sam's relationships with supplier and client partners continued to thrive. Today, the company's revenue heavily relies on long-standing partnerships with clients who have been with them for over 30 years and have become leading non-profit organizations and Fortune 50 companies with globally recognized brands. Sam, along with his wife Maureen and later their children Rick and Randa, worked tirelessly to understand their partners' needs and provide superior marketing solutions. Sam remained committed to each customer and strongly believed that a person's reputation was their most valuable asset. Sadly, Sam passed away in 2012, but his legacy lives on as his daughter Randa took over the company in 2008, making Ideas Unlimited a 100% woman-owned business. As the company approaches its 50th year, Sam's spirit continues to inspire fresh ideas, exceptional service, and unwavering integrity at Ideas Unlimited.
