You are short on time and want to order end-of-year promotional products. There is still time if you prepare smartly.

Be 100% prepared

Ordering means more than picking an item. Have every detail ready so you do not discover mistakes after the order goes into production.

Answer these first:

• Style and color: what exact variant do you want
• Quantity: how many units
• Decoration method: print, engraving, relief and what artwork and copy
• Design approval: approved yes or no
• PO approval: who signs off and budget confirmed
• Shipping address: final and validated
• Rush fees: willing to pay if needed
• Hard deadline: latest acceptable in-hand date

Production time varies

Timing depends on complexity and capacity. Prepare option B in case your first choice takes too long. If you are stuck, contact us and we will suggest faster items.

Weekends and holidays matter

Account for weekends and public holidays when setting a deadline. Offices and carriers often close on major holidays. Place the order as early as possible to avoid queues.

Have a backup plan

Sometimes plan A fails. Keep a faster alternative that produces and ships quickly. Or send gifts after the holidays. A slightly later delivery can stand out more when inboxes and calendars are quieter.
