2008 CE Shoppes became a subsidiary of Creative Expressions of Tampa Bay, Inc. allowing our customers to search for thousands of products in different web shoppes, each specializing in decorated items like food gifts, recognition and sales awards, promotional items, branded gifts and more, enabling them to quickly find the items they desired for their events.

2010-2011 WBENC Certified

2014 CE Shoppes joined Proforma, one of the leading Print and Promotional Agencies in the U.S, as a franchise partner. With so many services and offerings, including creativity and innovation, from the development of brochures and branding of promotional items, to the execution of marketing campaigns and ecommerce solutions, we decided to make one web shoppe to house all 18K Sku's that would also serve as a shopping cart for every item across all of our shoppes. Introduced CorporateGiftStores.com to fulfill this need.

2015 Corporate Gift stores brought the power of a large database, used across all web shoppes and a single shopping cart together.

2020 - CE Marketing Group combines a wide range of marketing products and services including branded apparel/uniforms, website development and internal company stores to assure brand control and integrity among all departments and locations, as well as robust reporting.
