Never ordered promotional products for your organisation before? It can be a daunting experience trying to figure out exactly what items you want and how you want them branded. However, with the help of an experienced team (like the one here at Cubic Promote) ordering your custom marketing merchandise can be a breeze.

What Do You Want to Achieve?

Consider the purpose behind your marketing merchandise. Do you want to provide small rewards for customers with a purchase? Or are you hoping to increase brand awareness with swag sold at events? Perhaps you're looking to outfit your staff with new uniforms and equipment featuring your logo design?

It is important to have an idea in mind about what you'd like your branded swag to accomplish for you as a promotional hoodies might be perfect for brand awareness at events, but a customised metal keyrings is more suitable for a gift-with-purchase. If you can determine what you want your merch to do, then you can narrow down the types of merchandise do you might like to have branded.

What Design Would You Like Branded?

The next step is to determine what you actually want to be added to your promotional items. If you have an event and would like to give away a cotton tote bag to attendees then it is a no-brainer to have your event logo and details screen printed on the side to promote the event.

However, if you're keen to advertise your business on uniforms you might prefer a logo rendered in elegant embroidery. Alternatively, you might have a photograph to commemorate a celebration and wish to have it added to products as well, in which case you'll need to select items that can feature full-colour digital printing.

Why is knowing what you want on the promotional items (even if it's just a basic concept) so important? It allows the team of branding specialists you work with to ensure you're picking the right products to boost the design you want. Additionally, they can suggest similar items that will make your design look even better, or suggest additional products if you'd like to provide gift sets or a matching range of goodies.

When Do You Need Your Items?

This might seem like an obvious one, but work out exactly when you need your promotional products delivered. If you have an urgent event that's sprung up with a strict delivery deadline, your supplier will need to work with you to meet an express date. However, if you don't have a set deadline and just hope to integrate your marketing swag whenever it arrives you can enjoy cheaper prices on products if you wait longer for their arrival.
