How to reduce the costs of Promotional Products?

Ordering branded merchandise in major enterprises is not a problem at present. This basically means choosing a specific model, determining the appropriate method of decoration and ordering. Then all you have to do is wait for the courier with the parcel. The only limitation in the selection of promotional items may be only the ingenuity of the client.

What if we want to order promotional products, but we have a limited budget? It is not always possible to complete all the assumptions. We are perfectly aware that in the vast majority of cases, our clients must stick to a specific price framework. However, you do not have to cancel the order if the cost of implementing promotional items exceeds the financial possibilities. We know four ways to reduce the price of promotional items. Here they are:

1) Check current promotions and price reductions.

In virtually every industry there are promotions and discounts for offered services or products. There is no wonder why price cuts are one of the strategies of fighting for clients. As research shows, for more than 80% of us, choosing a place to shop, is guided by the price level. That is why companies are very keen to use this method. This also applies to agencies dealing with promotional products. In the case of Magic Print, however, we prefer to convince customers with high-quality service, which does not mean that we do not run promotional campaigns.

Thanks to good relations with our suppliers, we can reduce the prices of selected promotional items while maintaining their high quality.

By tracking price cuts, you can often order branded merchandise that the budget has not previously allowed for. That is why it is worth keeping up with all promotions. You can only search for them when you need them, or search for new ones regularly, even by browsing our Facebook page.

2) Think about the substitute of the chosen Promotional Product.

In everyday life, when we can not afford a given product, we are looking for its cheaper substitute. The situation looks similar in the case of branded merchandise. Fortunately, the offer of promotional items is so wide that this change is not always associated with lower quality.

By replacing a more expensive product with its cheaper equivalent, we can simply give up some properties that are not our priority. Examples? When ordering pens to the office, we can safely dispense with rubber tips designed for handling touch screens. However, when choosing a Power Bank, instead of reducing its capacity, you should think about changing the appearance of the housing. Sometimes a promotional product with a traditional design can be much cheaper, and at the same time have the same properties as the more expensive counterpart.

3) Limit the number of colours on the imprint ...

With some methods of decoration an important element that raises the cost of production is the number of colours applied to the products. Unfortunately, when deciding on a graphic in a wide range of colours, we must be aware of the price we will pay for it. This is influenced by, among other things, the value of inks, and the time of preparing the design or the length of the marking machine's work. If you want to reduce the overall cost of implementing promotional items, you can think about simplifying the graphics. With a large order, one or two colours less can definitely influence the valuation.

4) ... or use only one.

To reduce the cost of decoration to a minimum, we can think about preparing graphics in only one colour. Thanks to this, it will be possible to imprint using the pad printing method, which is one of the most popular techniques used in the advertising industry. This imprint method is very simple, making it fast and relatively cheap. They are used on gadgets with a smooth hard surface.

Although it may seem that the monochromatic graphics are boring and have a number of limitations, we have a completely different opinion on the subject. For many years of our activity, we have implemented many promotional products, on which a one-colour print perfectly matched the product.

Are these all available ways?

All of the ways listed can reduce the cost of the order, but you do not have to follow them. The best method will be to write
an e-mail message to us! All you need to do is enter your budget, the approximate amount of promotional products you need, and the graphics you want to include on them ... and we'll do the rest. We will suggest the best promotional items, prepare how your artwork will look on the chosen products and provide a specific cost and delivery date :)
