Promotional Products FAQs
Are promotional products worth the money?
Absolutely! Promotional Products are a great way to get and keep your information in front of others. They’re affordable and effective! People love free stuff, regardless of what it is. In most cases, if you get one or two orders off of the promotional product, it’s paid for itself. Think about an ink pen at a restaurant, your server brings the check to your table and there is a pen in there for you to sign the receipt. That pen has a company logo on it, think about how many people look at that pen throughout a day, week, month.
What are popular items?
We work with a wide range of companies, all have a different business type and client base. Some of the most popular items are pens, mugs & tumblers, mousepads, microfiber cloths, lip balm, hand sanitizer and stress balls. We recommend choosing items that are practical for your potential client and also relevant to your business. For example, if you are a veterinary clinic choosing a USB drive wouldn’t make as much sense as choosing a customized frisbee or dog waste bag dispenser. DeSigns wants to see your investment put to good use!
What is the turnaround time on promotional products?
Turnaround times vary depending on the item and quantity. We make sure we give you an estimated turnaround time on your items upon ordering. If you are working with a deadline for an event, please let your sales rep know when you are placing the order so we can make sure we are able to accommodate you.
How do I know what to order?
We can provide you with catalogs and links to look at or you can work with one of our sales reps. We can help you figure out what would be the most effective for you and also work within your budget.
Do I see an example prior to production?
We provide a digital proof prior to sending it into production. Nothing is manufactured until you approve the layout of your design.
Can I put my logo on anything?
In most cases yes; however there are exceptions. Certain items have an imprint color limit. If you have a multi-colored logo and the item you want has a one-color imprint maximum, our designers can simplify your logo to be a one-color imprint. You won’t lose the effectiveness of your logo. We can work with item color and imprint color to keep the integrity of your brand and not sacrifice style.
I need an item really quick, can you help ?
Yes, there are plenty of items to choose from that have a very fast turnaround time. Please contact one of our sales reps and we can let you know what items would work within your timeline.
What is the minimum order?
Each item has a minimum order requirement. Most items we are able to offer a less than minimum service option; however there are fees that are applied due to the customization process of the items. We encourage you to order items that can be stored and used for different events. Also, this helps you from having to reorder another less than minimum order when you need to restock.
