Quantity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve already touched on this one, but it matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most promotional merchandise gets cheaper per item as quantity increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s because you&#8217;re spreading production and branding costs across more products and suppliers can generally access better volume pricing further up the quantity breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, our Compact Tote Bag currently moves from $4.43 each at 100 units to $3.26 each at 1,000 units with the same one-colour print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there&#8217;s a catch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cheaper unit price doesn&#8217;t make over-ordering good value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need 300 pieces, buying 1,000 just because they&#8217;re cheaper each could leave 700 products sitting in a cupboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buy enough to make the quantity break work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not enough to create a merch storage problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The product itself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two products that look similar online can have completely different materials, construction, specifications and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A basic conference tote can currently start at around $1.44, while premium branded backpacks in our range can exceed $70 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s not just a price difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re doing completely different jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One might be ideal for 2,000 event attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other might be perfect for 20 important clients or new team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same applies to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plastic bottles vs vacuum insulated bottles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic caps vs premium retail-style headwear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promotional polos vs recognised apparel brands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple pens vs premium metal writing instruments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entry-level cooler bags vs heavy-duty worksite coolers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with who it&#8217;s for, not what&#8217;s cheapest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. How you brand it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decoration can change both the cost and the feel of a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common promotional merchandise branding methods include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pad printing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Screen printing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full-colour digital printing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embroidery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laser engraving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Debossing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sublimation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simple one-colour logo is often one of the most economical options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding colours, additional branding positions or a more complex decoration method can increase the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, our Compact Tote Bag at 250 units currently costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$3.79 each &#8211; one-colour print<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">compared with<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$6.65 each &#8211; four-colour print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But cheapest isn&#8217;t always best here either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes laser engraving makes a metal bottle feel significantly more premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes embroidery turns a fairly standard cap into something people actually want to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And sometimes a clean one-colour print looks better than reproducing every colour in your brand guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good merch is about the finished result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. How many places you brand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Front logo only?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Front and back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Front, sleeve and neck?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bottle body plus lid?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each additional decoration position may involve more production work and can increase the final cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re working to a tight budget, one well-placed piece of branding can often look better than putting your logo everywhere it&#8217;ll fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Your deadline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time gives you options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve got eight weeks before your event, you may be able to consider local stock, custom manufacturing and different freight options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve got eight days, the question becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s available, what can be branded quickly and what can physically get there on time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That can reduce your choices and sometimes increase the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our advice is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tell us the real deadline from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ll work backwards from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Freight and delivery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t forget the part where the merch has to get to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shipping 250 pens to Brisbane isn&#8217;t the same as shipping 1,000 cooler bags to Perth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freight depends on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Product weight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carton size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delivery postcode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of delivery locations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How urgently it needs to arrive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why you should compare total order cost, not just unit price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-032266e5

class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should Be Included in a Promotional Product Quote?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where quotes can get confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One supplier might show a lower product price but add charges later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another might include more from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you&#8217;re comparing promotional merchandise quotes in Australia, check:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is branding included?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What decoration method is included?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many colours are included?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many branding positions?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are logo setup charges included?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is a branded mock-up or digital proof included?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is freight included?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is GST included or excluded?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the production timeframe?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is stock actually available?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What happens if the finished product isn&#8217;t right?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Promotion Products product pages, for example, the displayed pricing identifies the included decoration, with free logo setup and a free virtual proof, while freight is calculated for the delivery location and GST is separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compare like with like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A product that&#8217;s $0.50 cheaper isn&#8217;t cheaper if the final invoice ends up $500 higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-273af403 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static

vs Good-Value Merch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s where unit price can lead you in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you&#8217;re choosing between:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Option A:<\/strong> A $2 product that gets used once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Option B:<\/strong> A $10 product someone uses every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Option A is cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But is it better value?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not necessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We think a better way to evaluate promotional merchandise is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost Per Keep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of only asking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat&#8217;s the cost per item?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow likely is someone to keep and use this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A $4 product that&#8217;s forgotten tomorrow costs you $4 for one forgettable interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A $20 product that&#8217;s used 100 times costs you 20 cents per use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not a perfect marketing measurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it forces the right conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the goal isn&#8217;t to get your logo onto as many things as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s to get your brand onto things people actually want around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-66a75433 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look at product quality, branding quality, usefulness, supplier service and whether it&#8217;ll arrive when promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forgetting

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ordering too late<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rush jobs limit your choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And limited choices aren&#8217;t

better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A smaller number of better products delivered to the right audience can often make a stronger impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ignoring the product after the event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think beyond the handover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will they use it

products cost in Australia? <em>A: Promotional products in Australia can cost under $1 each for high-volume products such as branded pens through to $100+ each for premium corporate merchandise. Everyday products such as totes, bottles, notebooks, cooler bags and caps commonly sit between a few dollars and around $20+, depending on quantity, product quality and branding.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Q: What are the cheapest promotional products? <em>A: Pens, simple bags and smaller giveaways tend to offer some of the lowest unit prices. Our current range includes promotional pens from around $0.68 each and tote bags from around $1.44, depending on quantity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Q: Why do promotional products get cheaper when you order more? <em>A: Products are generally cheaper per unit at higher quantities because production and decoration costs can be spread across a larger order and greater supplier volume discounts become available. For example, our Budget Drink Bottle currently costs $6.07 each at 100 units and $2.78 each at 1,000 units with a one-colour print.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Q: What is the minimum order quantity for promotional products?
