Avoid Last Minute Hassles, Order Early!
The holidays will present many wonderful opportunities for promoting business and social activities. Whether you’re a small business just starting out or a seasoned expert, you can’t afford to miss the opportunites presented during this time of year. Use this time to connect with buyers and spread your message. You’ll need the power of promotional items to get the word out and planning these purchases effectively is the key to success.
If you’ve ever ordered anything during the holidays you know that last minute ordering usually results in additional charges for rush delivery, limited selection, and nail biting frustration.
In the retail market, you can find bargains by waiting until the day before the big day. However in the world of B2B high volume custom imprinting with engraving, screen printing and embroidering, this is not necessarily the case. These customizations take time for both production and delivery.
When ordering promotional items (custom printed logo items) make sure to allow time for engraving, screen printing and embroidering and other special services. After printing, shipment time can vary depending on weather, time of year, volume etc. Let us know your deadline date so that we can advise you on getting the items delivered in time for your event.
Holiday sales for promotional items are listed earlier than retail shops and some provide incentives for getting orders submitted by a certain date to avoid being bombarded with orders they can’t process by your deadline.
Some manufacturers require extra lead time during the holiday season for normal production and some even close during various points in November and December to allow their employees time off to be with their families. Major carriers like UPS, FedEx and the postal service will experience delays for weather and increased volume as well. If you wait until the very last minute, you will pay handily for expedited production and shipping. Popular items sell out early and some plants stop doing rush orders as the holidays get closer.
It’s best to look at your planned events, your goals and budget now. Then determine which promotional items will best suit your needs. Planning and ordering as early as possible will help you meet your goals, and help you enjoy the holidays by keeping nail biting and nightmares to a minimum. Use our planning checklist to help in planning purchases.
