In this article I look at ways to ensure you get them best prices, product and service when purchasing promotional gifts for your company.
With the internet have come many new channels to source products for promoting your business. In the old days, say ten years ago, promotional gift suppliers were much more limited as to what they could and could not sell. Many purchased printed catalogues to sell their product range. This was and still is a good way of showing the many products available for promotion but specialised it is not! Nowadays, the good promotional gift suppliers are becoming specialists in the products they know best. They build websites around those products and it is these experts you need to find when sourcing promotional gifts to promote your business.
We live in an era where it is no longer necessary to be the biggest or to have expensive printing machines on your premises. Gone are the days when only the biggest suppliers could afford contact hundreds of thousands of possible customers through their expensive and very intruding monthly brochure mailshots. Luckily for the consumer, it is no longer necessary for business gift suppliers to be big, multi-million dollar players. In fact, more often than not, dealing with such companies is becoming more difficult and costly.
Business gifts suppliers need to be experts at what they do! Here are 5 ways to ensure you find them so that you do not end up paying over the odds.
Check their website for information
After searching online for the product or products your require, check each site for information. Good suppliers will know their products and this will be obvious through the information offered on their sites and blogs.
Check Price
I do not like selling on price alone, but experts in different products will sell more of those products and will hence be in the position to offer you lower prices.
Ask for Samples
When in doubt, ask to see samples. Compare samples and choose those that are the best quality. When you are dealing with experts in their field, you will often find that their products are not only superior, they are less expensive as well.
Call Their Sales Office
It will be obvious when you speak to sales staff whether they really kwno their product range or not. Often times, their knowledge about the products you require will be very limited. Often this is down to selling of the printed page instead of being properly trained.
Conclusion
You are in a better position now than ever before to find top quality promotional products, advice and great service. Promotional gift suppliers who specialise in certain products are more likely to give you the best prices and service. Start your search by looking for promotional products online and then comparing the information offered, price and the company’s overall knowledge about the products you require.
