Promotional Marketing That Makes $ense

Are you paying too much for your promotional products? There's no doubt that advertising specialty items are crucial in building brand loyalty amongst new and existing clients. But, as companies deal with reduced budgets, they can't afford to be overcharged by their promotional vendors.

That's why PAPERbasket has introduced Cost+ for all promotional advertising customers. Rather than paying exaggerated fees for products, we tell you the actual wholesale cost up front. Based on the value of that purchase, you pay a modest percentage for our professional services. You will continue to receive the same high-quality merchandise from the nation's top suppliers-but you can be in control of your costs. We're so confident in this process, we're willing to show you the actual invoice detailing the final price paid-no questions asked.

Even if your current ad specialty vendor offers you "discounts," look at the example below to see just how Cost+ will save you even more money (buying 10,000 polyurethane stress balls). Your supplier may give you 10 or 15% off the retail price, but our Cost+ price will save you an extra $2,000 in the following example (purchase below details Cost+ 35% for purchase over $7,500):

Actual Retail Prices
Retail - Low Retail - High Setup Costs Total
$1.20 $1.90 $35.00 $12,035.00
"Special" Discounts from Vendors 
Retail 15% Off Setup Costs Total
$1.20 $1.02 $35.00 $10,235.00
Using PAPERbasket's Cost+ 
Retail Wholesale Setup Costs Total
$1.20 $0.60 $28.00 $8,128.40

Add up your annual purchases and your firm can recognize substantial savings. Just because your budget went down doesn't mean you can't fulfill your promotional marketing needs. 

How do we do this? It's simple. We reduce our overhead expenses (posh offices, expensive catalogues, commission-driven sales force) and pass the savings back to our clientele. Sure, we can provide you with catalogues that display some products, but with over 400,000 items available for imprinting, we rely on our internet services to provide you with images and product descriptions via email-expediting the process and reducing out-of-pocket expenses.

Please contact us if you would like to learn more about our services, or better yet, put Cost+ to the test. Tell us a product you purchased recently, quantity and any other information you can share. We'll give you a complementary price quote to show how cost effective we can be. You make the choice for yourself.
