5 Top Tips for obtaining Promotional Bottled Water
The number 1 reason for any Promotional Merchandise and not just promotional bottled water not arriving when required is the client not allowing enough time. The number 2 reason for late delivery is a few Promotional items suppliers taking a chance that their contractor can pull off a miracle and just hoping for the best. The first reason is more understandable as customers are often under enormous pressure with last minute events and promotions. However the second reason is unforgivable and should you ever come across such a Promotional gifts supplier then I suggest you get rid of them speedily before they cause you to have a heart attack or get the sack.
It is important right from the outset that realistic time-lines and expectations are decided between you and your Promotional Bottled water supplier.
2. Sparkling or Still Bottled Water, make the right choice?
It is very important to consider the options of both types of water and the choice is often made for you.If the event is centered around young children or it involves a lot of travel or movement then sparkling bottled water could be a tragedy. Bottled sparkling water is very volatile and the last thing you need at your event is exploding bottles of water with your logo all over it. If you are unsure then always take the painless option and settle for the still version.
3. Prepare your artwork for the label
Artwork can be the easiest or the most difficult part of the order & once again the best way to approach this task is for your Promotional Merchandise supplier to provide you with a template of the label. Your art studio can then layout the design in the full knowledge that there will be no problem with sizing or the placement of logos. Unlike flat promotional gifts such as leather conference folders, plastic keyrings, or even printed T’shirts the cylindrical shape of the bottle brings some visual challenges. The bottled water maker should be able to provide lots of examples of how your artwork will appear and it is essential that a full proof of the label is shown to you before the main run is commenced.
4. Organize the shipment professionally
In many cases the end product will not be going to your workplace or warehouse but rather it will be going direct to the event venue. Water, unlike printed pens or promotional clothing is very heavy and therefore transporting it more than once is very expensive. It is important that if your event is in a hotel or exhibition center you make contact with the event organizer to be sure that it is kept safely and securely before your arrival.
5. Whoever said “If you fail to plan then you plan to fail” could well have been a Business Gifts supplier. You must give yourself enough time to allow your contractor to organize the production of the promotional bottled water, the printed label and the shipping. If you don’t you could find yourself and your customers very thirsty!
In conclusion there really is not much difference between procuring most promotional items but promotional bottled water does have a couple of areas where you need to pay a little more attention. I hope that these areas have been covered off here and that when you next purchase such an item this article will have been of some assistance.
