We Do Promotional Products Differently
Every January when most promo SUPPLIERS such as us (Promo Motive) go to PPAI in Vegas, we do it a little differently. We go to Mexico!
Here’s why we don’t go to PPAI…and you may want to rethink it is as well!
Firstly PPAI costs us as a SUPPLIER ,about $30,000 dollars by the time you add up rooms, flights, food, booth etc etc. (BTW this cost is passed along to you) We have done Vegas many, many times and the price is always the same, give or take.
So, instead of sending a team to PPAI what we do is we send a spy to see what is trending (unlikely recently). We then send those images to our factory’s and have them source the new products at a much price LOWER than other suppliers can offer.
Secondly, by not having a booth that costs us $30,000 we save 25k and then we send our deserving team to Mexico.
Who Is Promo Motive?
Why Do We Take The Team To Mexico!
Our team works hard each year to be a creative supplier of unique promotional products. They need and deserve a rest.
There we drink Cerveza and Mezcal,
We then review all the new product information our spies have gleaned from PPAI Vegas. We create a hotsheet of these new products and then contact the factory’s that make the products and cut a deal for us that will rock your world.
We stay for a week or so, recharge, rethink and reinvent.
The End Result? Happier People, Better Ideas and Smarter Business.
Let’s face it, when you get back from PPAI Vegas do you really remember more than a small handful of suppliers? Also, when every supplier sends a follow-up email saying “thanks for coming to our booth”, do you really remember them?
Also, think of it this way. If we went to PPAI and actually made 20% net profit (which we don’t, it’s less) we would need to make $150,000 of new customers and sales to break even! This does not happen.
Vegas is fun, that’s true, But if you think about it, what Promo Motive does makes more sense for you and is way more fun!
