Who do you use for Promotional Products

[MeehanDesign]

Who do you use to purchase your promotional products? Stress balls, pens, cups, koozies, etc. I've searched the threads but haven't found a recommended supplier.

In Texas, you just contact the company and tell them you're a reseller and therefore exempt from the sales tax. You fill out and return the appropriate form, and you're done. Unless it's not simply sales tax, I'd assume you should be able to do the same. Here it's considered double taxation when a reseller pays sales tax and the end-user pays sales tax on the same item.

ASI is a membership that you pay for and you can purchase wholesale promotional products for suppliers in the World for self promos or resale you might not be able to compete with some of the online retailers out there because of their buying power. You can check out Promo marketing and find any product and the supplier.

Sex and drug paraphernalia are always a hit. Nothing sells signs quite like a dildo with your company name name on it. Or a bong sporting your logo. Beats the hell out of a cheap ballpoint or something equally boring. As to where to get these quality products and others like them, I'm sure they're out there, you just have to track them down.

Don't be advertising your own wares, unless you have a proper membership.

Nevermind the thread date...I'm all over these ideas! Pretty sure none of my competitors are doing this and I've been looking for a niche to stand out amongst the rest. Maybe hire a bikini babe to do some sign spinning out on the highway as part of the campaign?

We've been ASI members for well over a decade. I never wanted to get into promotional products but now I'm really glad we did. After about 10 years in the promo business, it generates more growth, revenue and profit than our commercial printing business (which declines a bit every year). The best thing is that my wife manages it and that keeps her nose out of my stuff every day. We use dozens of different vendors and often source larger orders directly from China or India. The local government is our biggest client by a long shot. The stuff they waste our tax dollars on is unbelievable but profits are huge.
