Ordering your promotional products well in advance, helps you line up not only the perfect products and shop around, but greatly reduces your shipping expenses as well. Because promotional products are items that are imprinted with your logo, they take a little time to get imprinted and it can be very costly to put them in as a rush, although it can be done. Additional charges will also exist for shipping them more quickly if need be. All these extra charges can really add up taking those inexpensive promotional products up in price to where they are no longer a good investment.

Advance ordering also affords you the opportunity to deal with any mistakes that arise head on. Problems like misprinting or quantity discrepancies can arise and having the time to address these problems in advance of your promotional event will allow you to rest easy knowing everything is in place for the perfect event.

Planning is the key to any promotion. It will save you much time, money and aggravation and will guarantee you a successful future in business.
