John Cronin, Co-founder and Chief Happiness Officer at John’s Crazy Socks, delivered custom socks to the Long Island chapter of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, the world’s largest network of entrepreneurs. EO-Long Island is one of the fastest growing chapters in the world.
Jennifer DeVito, Founder of Evolution Real Estate and Renovations and CEO of Learning and Events Chair for EO-Long Island, said, “I love these socks, they are so beautiful. I cannot wait to start giving them out to our members. And we loved getting them from John’s Crazy Socks. They are the type of business we love because they are having such an impact.”
EO-Long Island will include the custom socks in a welcome gift package they will send to every new member. The Chapter continues to add new members as more founders and builders learn how EO-Long Island can help them grow their business and develop as individuals.
The Entrepreneurs’ Organization, EO-Long Island and John’s Crazy Socks
There are deep connections between EO and John’s Crazy Socks. John’s father and partner, Mark X. Cronin, is an active member of the organization. Mark said, “Joining EO-Long Island has been incredibly beneficial. Being part of the group helped us navigate through the pandemic and has offered insights for us to grow John’s Crazy Socks and for me to grow as a person, a husband and a Dad.”
John’s Crazy Socks recently held a dinner for EO-Long Island where members visited the John’s Crazy Socks facility and received a tour from John. Mark and John then delivered a presentation on grassroots marketing. After attending the event, EO-Long Island member Dr. Pedram Hendizadeh, Founder of Advanced Footcare, said, “Thank you so much. What a great event with so many great takeaways.”
In 2019, EO-Long Island named John Cronin as their Young Entrepreneur of the Year.
Making Custom Socks for EO-Long Island
John’s Crazy Socks loved making the socks for EO-Long Island and made a gift of them to the organization. Mark explained, “The organization is so valuable that we wanted to show our support and appreciation by making these socks.
Jen DeVito worked with John’s Crazy Socks on the design. “They made everything so easy and the design is perfect.”
Customers love the custom socks because they are so a memorable gift. First, people keep the socks instead of tossing them aside as many do with typical branded gifts. Second, EO-Long Island members will wear the socks and every time they do, they will be reminded about EO-Long Island. Third, when other people see the socks ,they will generate a conversation about EO-Long Island.
Having John’s Crazy Socks make the custom socks adds to the experience. You help us employ people with differing abilities, you help us give back, most of all, you help us spread happiness.
John’s Crazy Socks has made socks for large corporations (e.g., Google, Voya Financial, Microsoft, etc.) and small businesses (e.g., lawyers, accountants, HVAC companies), schools (Holy Cross College, St. Joseph’s University, Chaminade High School, etc.) and non-profits (e.g., Special Olympics, the Salvation Army, PTAs, SEPTAs, etc.). We’ve made them for weddings, sweet sixteen parties and many, many fundraisers, conferences and gala events.
