Branded Desk Accessories Guarantee Impressions In The Office

Posted by Chris Higgins on Wed, Mar 12, 2014 @ 07:00 AM

When you purchase promotional products as a means of advertising your business, you've got to think about how they'll be used especially if you're a B2B company. If you offer outerwear or shirts, there's a chance the apparel won't be worn in front of potential clients. The t-shirt you give to a referral source might just end up being worn while he or she goes shopping on the weekend which is great if your target is other consumers but if your target is specific business buyers, not so good.

Business printing | Using a distributor is like going to Walmart

Posted by Chris Higgins on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 @ 22:54 PM

For some reason many businesses that buy printing  think they are better off dealing directly with the manufacturer. they believe that if they are not buying direct from the factory then they are dealing with a broker and paying more.

Now the sentiment is one thing but the reality is another. with the exception of apple picking where you actually drive to the orchard and pay for the privilege of picking your own apples, almost everything you buy comes through a distribution channel that reduces the cost. Take the apple picking example: you can stop at the market (distributor, retailer, broker call it what you want) and buy a bag of apples for $5. Or you can go the direct route spend half a day in the car with the family, drive for an hour and pay $30 to pick your own. When you add in the gas and time, the cost can approach $100. Obviously you get a lot more in terms of family time and relaxation but when all you want is apples using the local distributor (market) costs a heck of a lot less.
