TIP #1
PLAN AHEAD TO SAVE ON SHIPPING AND RUSH FEES
We tell clients three to four weeks is a standard lead time for ordering custom branded merchandise. One week for refining the product and branding, two weeks for production and a week to ship. Anything less that that and you run the risk of additional fees. Most of our buyers are used to planning for annual events or have a ‘90 day plan’ for their department or program. Adding a promotional prod- ucts line to those plans can serve as a simple prompt to make sure you’ve allowed time to do it right. Pro Tip: Our Account Managers calendarize their client’s events with prompts to call you when it’s time to get going (in case you forget) – it’s one way we can help you keep on top of your task list.
