Considering using promotional product advertising to boost your business
? Not really sure where to begin? Promotional product advertising can be a good solid investment for your business, but as is the key to any successful business venture, you must choose a promotional product company that will help you create the best possible image for your business. Doing this will require interviewing the customer service department at the promotional products company that you are considering using, to find out exactly what you can expect from their quality of products and their customer service.
Check into the Products - It's crucial that the company provides you with the best quality promotional products for your logo to be on. When you have your business name and logo printed on these products they will be representing your company so you don't want them to be of poor quality. You'll want to request samples of their product line prior to ordering so you can actually touch them.
Customer Service - Most companies will have a standard return policy if you order something and aren't pleased with it. You need to know what their standard is and if they'll take them back and redo the order or refund your money.
Delivery Times - Find out if they have a standard delivery time and how they will ship your items. Chances are they won't use the post office, but if they do find out if they will be using tracking for the packages. It is important to know that if you are ordering items for a specific event that you will receive them in a timely manner. Most companies will offer shipping options, so you may have to pay a little more for a guaranteed delivery date.
Where They Are Located - Ask for their address because this will help you check them out online and with the Better Business Bureau. It is always good to make sure you check out any new online business you will be using in this way as well as to only pay with your credit card, so that you will have recourse if things go wrong.
