AI is changing everything. Most small businesses in Manchester know that. Very few know what to do about it. We work with local businesses on marketing and business strategy, and we help you figure out where AI fits and how to actually use it. No jargon. No tech overwhelm. Just practical help from people who do this every day.

100 YARDS TO GO is a team of experienced marketers who develop and run the marketing function with a focus on customer acquisition, brand and product marketing, content development, creative development and all the necessary marketing activities that companies need to think about. We are less of an agency, and more embedded partners to teams at those companies responsible for reporting on results as if we were FT employees even though we are fractional. We work with companies at all different stages to accelerate the development of the marketing function.

Big Butterfly Promotions is proud to join the Manchester Business Association as Southern Vermont’s local branding partnership team and uniquely, the only member specializing in custom apparel, promotional products, embroidery, and branded merchandise solutions.

For over 25 years, we’ve helped local businesses, schools, teams, nonprofits, and organizations stand out through thoughtful, intentional branding that creates real connection and lasting impressions. We believe branding should be more than just putting a logo on something. It should tell your story, reflect your personality, and help people remember who you are long after the first interaction.

From legendary embroidery and high-resolution digital apparel printing to promotional products, awards, banners, signage, engraving, and custom merch strategies, we help businesses “live their brand out loud.” Whether it’s outfitting your team, elevating your customer experience, creating event giveaways, or building a cohesive branded presence, we love helping local organizations look polished, professional, and unforgettable.

What makes us different is our partnership approach. We work side by side with our customers to make sure their branding works for them. We clean up logos, guide product choices, think through presentation, and help create merchandise people genuinely want to use, wear, and keep.

Everything from our digitizing and graphics work to production collaboration happens with quality, creativity, and community in mind. We are local, relationship driven, and a little obsessed with the details, because details matter when you’re building a brand.

To the Manchester Business Association and our fellow local businesses: we’re excited to collaborate, connect, and help our community continue to grow creatively and confidently together.
