Have you ever purchase promotional stress balls? These popular promotional gifts get results but if you are not careful you could be paying way too much. Up to 50% more than you should, in fact.
It is important to note that most promotional items are manufactured in the Far East, including stress balls. The majority of promotional merchandise suppliers do not import these gifts themselves but purchase through a wholesaler instead.
This is an excellent system for heavy and bulky gifts such as conference folder and executive metal clocks because they are mass produced. What you see is what you get. These gifts are purchased by wholesalers and imported in large quantities which they sell to promotional merchandise suppliers who then sell on to you to promote your business.
The promotional gifts industry is changing and changing very quickly. Some corporate merchandise suppliers have started dealing directly with the Far East manufacturers. This is not an easy process as there are a lot of things to consider before dealing directly with Far East manufacturers such as ethical issues and building trust.
Promotional stress toys and indeed many other business gifts are ideal products for promotional merchandise suppliers to import because they are usually made to order. There may well be wholesalers who keep large stocks but most companies want their stress ball manufactured to order. They like to have them manufactured in their own company colours or even order special shapes.
Here is how you save...
Don't forget that a wholesaler needs to make a profit which is usually at least 30%. If your promotional gift supplier purchases from a wholesaler and then puts their markup on, you are paying way over the odds.
Purchase your promotional stress relievers from an importer and you will be cutting out the wholesaler and that other middleman.
Check it out for yourself. Try Googling 'promotional stress balls' or 'promotional stress balls' and check out the sites on the first couple of pages. Compare their prices and ask for samples. You will soon see who is importing the goods themselves and who is not.
If they can back their low prices up with excellent quality stress relievers and exceptional personalised service, you have found yourself a good new supplier.
Would you like a more personalised service when ordering printed stress toys? Have you ever considered ordering stress balls Pantone matched to your company colours? This is all possible and can look fantastic.
