Anyone do this???

Have you thought of signing up for a UPIC account? They are free if you have enough supplier references and you'd get access to Distributor Central where you could order and resell promo items.

Not really, most promotional products I have dealt with are a nightmare.
lo quality and too much trouble for us.
I was hoping that someone in the group could take the lead and run with it.
but have no takers.
I ordered some samples, will give them to the client and the into order themselves.

never heard of UPIC perhaps I should.

Distributors:

1. Either provide three invoices from three different promotional product suppliers for at least $100 each (not for samples) dated within the last six months, or be sponsored by at least five members of PPAI. sponsorships must be in writing.
2. Be in the promotional products industry for at least three months.
3. Have a promotional products annual sales volume of at least $15,000.

Sanmar, Melco, Broder, etc all qualify as suppliers.

Mugs

Thank you, I will check it out...

I have been selling promotional products for about 12 years and is a good source of income.

For coffee mugs I always use www.customcreaast.com

I think if you get a UPIC number they will sell to you at wholesale price.

Also I use SAGE software for a search engine and is great!! All kinds of features. The program cost $500.00 per year. If you join PPAI ($500.00 per year) your SAGE subscription is included and you can make four installment payments.

Another way that I think you can get whole sale pricing is to provide references you have with other suppliers (Sanmar,Bodeck etc.) you usually have to supply three invoices etc.

The promotional product industry is very protective of who can buy at wholesale, so NEVER give our your cost or how to compute your costs!!!!

A retail price for a basic mug is about $1.40 each if you buy 72 with your customer logo imprinted with their single color logo.

Hope this helps you out
