Commercial

Promotional products, sourced locally and branded here

Promotional products are the least glamorous part of what the commercial desk does and one of the most requested. Trade show giveaways, client gifts at Christmas, drinkware for a crew, branded pens that go in a welcome pack. It is rarely the biggest line on an order and it is often the one people leave to the last minute.

What we can get

We combine a local presence with a worldwide selection: promotional products, corporate gifts, and ad specialty items including t-shirts, jackets and hats. If you have seen it branded somewhere, there is a good chance we can source it.

That range is genuinely useful when a request is specific. Someone wants a particular style of insulated bottle, or a bag in a colour that matches their brand rather than approximately matches it. Having access to thousands of suppliers is what makes the answer yes instead of "here is what is in the catalogue".

Why order it through a store

You can see a sample. That is the whole argument, and it matters more than it sounds.

The failure mode with promotional products is ordering five hundred of something from a photograph and discovering the finish is cheaper than it looked, or your logo does not sit well on the curve of it, or the colour is not your colour. Coming in, handling the item and sorting the artwork out in person removes most of that risk. Picking the order up rather than tracking a shipment from another time zone removes the rest.

Who it tends to be for

It works for a Fortune 500 company, a small business or a nonprofit equally well, because the useful part is the marketing job it does rather than the scale. A crew of eight getting branded jackets and a company of eight hundred doing a conference giveaway are the same conversation with a different number in it.

Bring the artwork with you

Same as any decoration job: if you have a vector file or an embroidery file, send it. If you do not, a clear image is enough to start. We cover what artwork actually helps in our note on embroidery setup, and most of it applies here too.

Talk to us about a specific product and we will price it. Request a quote or call (604) 856-3774.

Bring us the job.

Artwork, garment and count is enough to start. We come back within 48 hours, and we will tell you if a different method suits it better.
