Frequently Asked Questions...

Q: What is a Promotional Product?

A: Promotional Products are tangible products that are imprinted with your Logo, Business name and/or advertising message. Because these items are uniquely different than say Newspaper, Radio or TV advertising, they are considered a "specialty" item, otherwise know as "Ad Specialties". When used in conjunction with traditional marketing, they serve as a powerful advertising media force! With over 750,000 items in categories such as Wearables, Writing Instruments, Office Products, Drinkwear etc., you'll be sure to find an item that will make your next advertising or marketing campaign memorable in the eyes of your customers.  Click here to view all product catagories.

Q: What is the cost of Promotional Products?

A: There are four things to be considered:
1)  Base Cost: this per piece price can vary greatly. Pens, for instance, can range from a $.50 plastic-capped pen to $39.00 Quill pen.
2) Quantity: Pricing for every item is based on quantity breaks. Every item has a minimum qty. requirement for ordering, and as the quantity of your order increases, the cost decreases.
3) Setup Charge: This is the cost to prepare the factory equipment for imprinting your selected products. Setup Costs vary depending on imprinting or molding method and can range from $40 for screened items to $300 for custom molded medallions.
3) Shipping: Shipping costs depend on the location of the supplier factory, weight and size of the items selected, and the method by which the products are shipped. Whenever possible, products are sourced from regional vendors so that delivery time is quicker and shipping costs are resonable.
