It has been a challenging 16 months, to say the least. We have all had
to make significant sacrifices and changes in how we live, how we
work and how we interact with each other. While many of us are now
experiencing a major upswing in our daily lives, many industries are
still severely impacted in the areas related to the global supply chain.
The promotional products industry is no exception.
While any of the below hurdles would present enough of a challenge,
the fact that we have a perfect storm of all really underscores the
need for us to work together, well in advance,so we can set you up
for success in the second half of 2021. The promotional product
industry is specifically being impacted by:
- Low inventory levels (especially with retail brands)
- Price increases due to cost of raw goods and shipping containers
- Increased shipping costs
- Shipping delays
- Labor shortages throughout the process, from production to
distribution
Needless to say, this is truly a historic set of circumstances. With all of
that said, we cannot stress enough the importance of connecting
with us as soon as your next promotional need arises as lead times
have never been so critical. We can assure you that we will do
everything in our power to ensure you have everything you need for
your next project or event.
As always, we so appreciate the opportunity to help your business
be top of mind and in front of more eyes. Now, more than ever,
people want to connect with brands, businesses and organizations
they know and trust. Nothing achieves that awareness, equity and
loyalty like promotional products, and it is our pleasure to help you
bring those ideas to life.
