What are promotional products?
Promotional products, usually imprinted with a company's name, logo or message, include useful or decorative articles of merchandise that are utilized in marketing and communication programs. When promotional products are distributed free, they're referred to as advertising specialties. When the imprinted items are given in exchange for a purchase, deposit or financial contribution, they're called premiums. Other kinds of promotional products are business gifts, awards and commemoratives.

Stimulate Sales Force Performance: Salespeople need to be challenged. Promotional products used when goals are met will result in increased sales for your company.
Generate Direct Response Leads: Each year an average of more than 250 regular third class mailing pieces are received per person, much of it unopened or unread. Most people can't resist opening mail that contains a "lump" or "bump".

I don't know much about promotional products. How can I make a good choice ?
By asking the pertinent questions about your business and the goals you want to achieve with a product, we can make recommendations based on our your disclosures.
What is a Setup fee?
This is a nominal fee from the supplier that applies to some, but not all orders. This charge is for the labor it takes to calibrate the equipment or machinery that is doing the imprinting.
What is a Less Than Minimum (LTM) fee?
Suppliers generally have a minimum quantity of products they will sell. As a general rule, they will do half the minimum, which is usually called the “absolute minimum”, for an additional fee. This fee varies based on the supplier’s policy.
Can I fax you a copy of my logo?
No, because a fax doesn't print exact straight lines, and it’s best to use sharp artwork. Your best artwork will ensure our best artwork. If you can obtain an electronic copy of your logo, send it to us via email or get a copy of it and we can recreate it.
Can I get a sample of a product before I order?
Most sample requests are free. However, there may be a small fee on more expensive items
Can I get a sample with my imprint on it before printing the whole order?
Yes, but there is a charge. To print one sample involves the whole process of printing multiple items. This is time consuming and can be expensive. This fee varies per item, please ask for details on your item(s).
How long will it take to get my order?
It varies from product to product but a good rule of thumb is to allow the maximum, which is 4 weeks from the time you place your order until the time you receive it. Early planning will ensure a stress free order.
Note: Rush service is usually available. Please ask for details.
