Who We Are

 

Novel Notion is in the business of providing quality promotional products to our clients, and in turn, helping our clients to create meaningful relationships with their members / clients. Our goal is to ensure that all our clients are well represented through promotional advertising.

 At Novel Notion, we don’t just look at a product itself, we really dive deep into what those products say about your Brand and what impact these products give to your overall message. Everything we do here is through a Marketing lens – ensuring that you get the results that you desire, every single time! When you work with us, your products will not only display your brand, but they will connect your audience in a deeper, long-lasting way.

 

 

Our History

 

Founded in 1995 by Brother Frederick Turbide (1955–2016) and his wife Sister Maria Chaves-Turbide (1955–2024), Novel Notion has been operating as a union-focused company for over 30 years.

Built on relationships, trust, and service to working organizations, Brother Frederick and Sister Maria established Novel Notion with a clear purpose: to provide unions and like-minded organizations with promotional products that were practical, dignified, and representative of the people they served. From the beginning, the company focused not just on selling items, but on helping clients present themselves professionally at conventions, meetings, and community events.

Over the decades, Novel Notion has grown alongside its clients, expanding into branded apparel, conference materials, event support, and a wide range of everyday promotional products designed to keep organizations visible year-round. While products and production methods have evolved, our philosophy has remained the same — choose quality items people will actually use, ensure branding is clear and consistent, and deliver reliably every time.

Today, we remain a family-owned and operated business, honoring the life and legacy of our founders, Brother Frederick and Sister Maria. Their values continue to guide how we work: with care for our clients, respect for their missions, and pride in helping organizations present themselves with confidence and professionalism.
