Budget-friendly, sustainable merchandise ideas

Finding new ways to connect with your customers is one of the most exciting aspects of marketing. 

When you delve into the data and insights and combine them with audience profiling, you can discover some ingenious ways to improve brand loyalty and boost brand awareness. 

But developing merchandise lines or maintaining known and loved product ranges takes money. 

So, in a world where the cost of living continuously fluctuates, how do you find cost-effective ways to get experimental and adventurous with merchandise solutions? 

That’s where we can help… 

How to find show-stopping sustainable merchandise

First up, if you really want to uncover the best sustainable promotional products, you have to speak to one of our experts. 

Consumers are more conscious about the impact they’re having on the planet, and as a result, they’re looking for products that are sustainably produced with a lower carbon footprint. 

As part of our ESG journey, we only work with a global  network of partners  with a shared vision to do better and be better. So, if you want true sustainability that is cost-effective too, we’re best placed to support your business. 

We can give you insight into the products that are big hitters with customers or even help you develop new product lines that are bespoke to your brand. 

And, we’ll be able to help you find the most sustainable and affordable ways to fulfil your order.

Buying in bulk will save you money 

By working with a global network of partners, we’re able to source cost-effective products from around the world. 

So if you want to make order fulfilment cheaper in the long run, the smartest thing to do is to order in bulk when items are being imported. 

Get organised, think ahead and map out key moments in your trading calendar to make the most of these savings. 

Our Account Management team will help you with this and ensure we can find the best way to manage and maintain your product lines in line with your budgets. 

You can still buy in bulk even if you don’t have storage! 

If you don’t have the space to hold lots of stock, ordering in bulk to benefit from a discounted cost may feel impossible, but we can help there too! 

Our merchandise programmes are designed for businesses just like yours and could help you scale your business at speed too. 

You can hold and store products in our warehouse and even take advantage of our distribution service. 

You’ll also have access to your products 24/7, 365 days a year via an order portal, so it’s responsive to the needs of your business.
