How You Can Meet Those "Minimums" and More.

Hi again,

Thank you for staying tuned in.  Another week, another great topic to discuss and today we‘re talking minimums.  Did you know that minimums are not as cut and dry as you would assume?  There are ways to mix and match and additional ways to save.

Here are some great tips on how to get more bang out of your buck on those minimums.

Screen Sharing

For your apparel orders, you can use screens across products – say on a t-shirt and hoodie.  This will lower your initial costs and can even be used towards a future order.  How is that for mileage?

Same Product Type Mixing 

You want apparel for both genders, yet you don’t need as many as, let’s say, a dozen for each – no worries! Simply combine the quantities together and as long as all pieces are decorated the same, the minimum requirement is satisfied.

Here’s another example:  Let’s say you want highlighters in all colors.  No problem – simply combine various colors to meet the quantity requirements.  Again, as long as they’re all being decorated with the same artwork, you’re meeting the quantity requirements.

Less-Than-Minimum

Some products will allow a less-than-minimum. Let’s say the minimum quantity on tote bags is 100 pieces.  Some manufacturers may allow you to purchase as few as 50 (½ of the minimum quantity requirement), at the 100-piece price, plus a less-than-minimum fee, along with the standard set up charge.  This will not always be the cheapest route, but will allow you to purchase the lower quantity to fit your needs.

Blank Goods

Many products can be purchased in as few as 1 or 2 pieces, without decoration.
