Successful campaigns with promotional products:
plan and order early
Imagine that you are at an important event, surrounded by potential clients or among your colleagues. You have the opportunity to offer them exactly those personalized promotional products that can achieve and strengthen a significant connection between the brand and the target audience.
But if you could not take care of their selection and ordering in time, you risk facing unpleasant situations, such as delaying the delivery of the products or limiting the customization options. Even though we, as a specialized agency, always make sure that everything is checked and delivered according to the requirements and standards, planning is essential for successful campaigns with promotional products.
When everything becomes busy and unavailable
Let’s also talk about the elephant in the room: crowded periods. Yes, exactly those times of the year when everyone suddenly has an “urgency” and promotional product agencies are scrambling to deliver everything on time.
Of course, we are also talking about the end of the year, actually about the whole month of December. But also about other common festive moments in which all brands want to be noticed. On those days, demand tends to exceed supply and every minute becomes extremely precious.
In addition, if you did not plan and order ahead of time, you risk introducing a new variable into the equation: the uncertain delivery from the couriers.
the importance of planning and ordering in advance
-
avoiding delays
Time is an essential factor in the promotional products industry. Orders made in time allow efficient management of all stages from production to delivery. Planning and advance orders minimize the risk of unforeseen delays which can occur especially during busy periods, caused by lack of materials or blockages in the supply chain.
By placing orders well in advance, you ensure that your products are delivered exactly when you need them, without compromise in terms of quality or delivery time .
-
ensuring materials availability
Busy periods can bring with them major challenges regarding the availability of stocks of promotional products. Superior quality materials or specific colors can become difficult to find when demand is high. By ordering ahead of time, you ensure that you have access to the best resources and that the purchased product best reflects your brand’s vision and values.
-
flexibility and customization options
When the order is placed early, the agency has the opportunity to explore more customization options (which require certain production times) and adjust the design based on feedback. This gained flexibility allows the selection of products that, in addition to meeting the technical requirements, perfectly align with the brand strategy.
In addition, the extra time provides the opportunity to make room for creative ideas, thus supporting a final result that will really impress you.
