Checklist Promotional Items Partner

🤔 1. Is the quality right?

Good promotional items not only look good – they also feel good.
Ask the manufacturer:
• Are there certificates (e.g. OEKO-TEX, REACH)?
• Can I see product samples in advance?
• What is the processing like?

Only direct contact with the manufacturer provides full control.

🌍 2. Where is it produced?

Manufacturing in Europe often means: faster delivery times and better communication.
Production in Asia can be cheaper, but usually takes longer.

Our Checklist Promotional Items Partner advises:

• Ask: “Where exactly is it produced?”
• Who organises the shipping and customs?
• Is there a delivery guarantee?

🎨 3. Are there individual solutions?

The right partner – preferably the manufacturer directly – offers:

• Custom colours
• Logo printing or embroidery
• Special packaging

Many promotional item dealers only act as intermediaries. Better: Talk directly to the manufacturer.

🌱 4. Is the provider sustainable?

Sustainability is a must today, not an option. A modern manufacturer uses:

• Recycled materials
• Plastic-free packaging
• Short transport routes

A real plus for your image.

💰 5. What does the pricing structure look like?

The checklist for promotional item partners recommends:

• Ask about bulk prices
• Clarify the minimum order quantity
• Request a complete quote (including shipping & printing).

You usually get better prices directly from the manufacturer – without intermediaries.

⭐ 6. Does the partner have experience?

An experienced manufacturer knows the requirements:

• from your industry (e.g. beverages, cosmetics, airlines)
• for your target audience
• for fast and reliable deliveries

Ask for references or examples.

🚉 7. How does the logistics work?

A good partner delivers on time and without stress. Pay attention to:

• Clear delivery times
• Shipping with tracking
• Customs clearance by the provider.

Manufacturers with their own warehouse and shipping often save time and money.

🤪 8. Is there an approval process?

Important – especially for logo printing:

• You will receive a proof
• There are samples before mass production
• Everything will only start with your approval

This way you maintain control.

📞 9. What is the customer service like?

A good manufacturer:
– answers questions quickly.
– is reachable by email or phone.
-gives you a dedicated contact person.

A direct line saves time and ensures clarity.
