Decoding Promo Industry Lingo
Ever feel overwhelmed by the jargon of the promotional products industry? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! Let’s break down the essential terms you need to navigate the promo world like a pro.
Supplier 🛍️Meet the creators! Suppliers are the backbone of the promo industry. They manufacture or import products like mugs, apparel, and more, all ready to be customized with logos or messages for branding.
Distributor 📦Connecting suppliers with clients! Distributors purchase promo products from suppliers and sell them to businesses or individuals who need branded merchandise. They are the bridge between creation and end use.
End-Buyer 🎯Your brand’s champion! End-buyers are businesses or individuals looking to enhance their brand visibility with promo products. They complete the supply chain cycle by purchasing the finished goods.
QUR (Quote Upon Request) 💬 Transparent pricing! QUR means customized pricing provided by suppliers upon request from distributors. This ensures tailored solutions for every order, accommodating unique needs and quantities.
EQP (End Quantity Pricing) 💡Bulk savings unlocked! EQP offers the best pricing tier regardless of order size, rewarding distributors with significant discounts for larger quantities, making it cost-effective to order in bulk.
Coded Pricing 🔍Industry insider info! Coded pricing ensures transparency between suppliers and distributors, keeping end-buyer pricing confidential while facilitating fair transactions and negotiations.
SKU (Stock Keeping Units) 📊Track your inventory! SKUs help suppliers manage inventory movement efficiently, providing a systematic way to track products. This is especially handy for maintaining organized stock records.
Personalization vs. Imprinting ✨Make it personal! While imprinting adds logos or team names to products, personalization goes a step further by customizing each item, such as adding individual names or numbers to team mugs or apparel.
