09/02/2008
One of the major tasks before you in course of selection of the promotional products would be the selection of appropriate distributor from whom you can procure such items. If you can find one that caters to your requirements perfectly, a long term association could be immensely fruitful.
Some of the key considerations for selecting a distributor or vendor would be the quality of the product, the before and after sale services they offer, and the turnaround time.
Distributors are not the manufacturers of the products but they are the link between the manufacturer and the buyer. Thus it is their veritable responsibility to guarantee and quality and durability of the products they are supplying you as distributors.
Not only the quality of the products but they should also ensure the quality of the imprinting on the promotional items.
The representatives and customer service providers that are engaged mostly by the distributors should be well trained and they should have the ability to offer the assistance as and when required by the customers. In addition they should also be able to advice you on the organizational aspect of your promotion campaign.
Last but not the least the turnaround time for providing you the promotional items are very important. The items should come to you by the time promised and there should normally be no deviation in this regard. Even more important is that your distributor should have the capabilities to rush things in times of emergencies.
