Kristin is the president and owner of Snap Promotions LLC. Having founded the company in 2009 with her husband, Lee Eldridge, Kristin set out to create more than a promotional products business.

A graduate from the University of Kansas, Kristin is active with several community groups, charities and professional organizations including: PEO, Lawrence Rotary, Cottonwood Inc., the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Topeka Partnership.

With more than 30 years of experience in marketing, Lee Eldridge has a passion for promotions. Lee’s experience includes marketing, design, advertising, copy writing and website development. “I often refer to myself as the jack of all trades, and master of none,” he quips. “We love what we do. Every day is hands on with a different client and a new challenge.”
Lee is able to utilize all of these talents to help make Snap Promotions a success. “We’re able to do in-house what most small promotional product companies cannot.
