How to compete more effectively in the promotional products business.

How to understand and compete more effectively in the new post-pandemic paradigm of the promotional products marketing business?

Here’s some insights.

In 2022 it should be crystal clear to all of us in the promo biz that the world we once knew has been forever changed. Let’s review the problem.

The “go-to-suppliers” like Leeds, I-Hit etc are constantly out of stock and are poorly informed as to when the problem will be fixed.

Here is an insiders take on why this problem exists.

What’s really happening here:

The pandemic has caused a number of problems that will not be easily fixed. These all are causing “out of stock issues”.

Very few passenger flights from overseas to USA. Prior to the pandemic there were over 100 passenger flights from China to the USA each day. The cargo space in these planes is not just luggage, 70% of it is cargo. This has disappeared.

Ocean cargo is 85% going one way, China to USA. This has caused a shortage of containers in China.

There is more freight coming than ever before causing delays for suppliers here to keep up with inventory levels.

All of this combined with a very old school sluggish reaction time for inventory management from the big box suppliers means that their inventory problems will not be fixed until the end of 2022!

You Don’t Need To Put Up With This!

At Promo Motive we have always done supply differently. Here is why we are your secret weapon!

We have always delivered all of our order direct from the factory to you. We look after every step of the way. You need do nothing!

We have annual contracts with air freight from the factory’s that guarantees we get to the front of the line with all of our orders. We pay a little more for this service but we charge you less because we don’t have to incur the cost of “dead inventory”.

Because our business model is “lean and mean-ish” we don’t carry big overhead costs such as heat, light, warehouses, warehouse staff, order entry clerks, poorly trained CSR’s and the huge cost of dead stock (ie those  Yellow XL and XS T shirts no one wants). These costs added up are HUGE….and YOU PAY FOR THEM!

 Why are you doing this?

Do Youwant to beat your competitors?

Do you have a product you cant find anywhere else?

Are you looking to work with factory’s (instead of a warehouse) on your promo supply?
