Sales and Clearance Lists Provide Great Bang for Your Buck

Everybody likes a good deal.  Coupons, discount websites and sales have a way of enticing people to buy what they might otherwise put off.  My clients are no different they want to know they have gotten a good deal.  They want to be able to purchase the greatest amount of marketing bang for their promotional dollar.

One way to save some money is too look for manufacturer's specials.  The maker's of promotional products have sales just like anyone else.  By planning your promotions ahead of time and buying products when on sale you can often get 25-30% off, a two for one specials or any host of great product savings.

One of my favorite ways to get clients great deals is to purchase discontinued items.  A huge warning note thought some things are discontinued for a reason.  However, companies like Leeds regularly update new products and have a special spot on their website for clearance items. What are the advantages of clearance items?  In the case of Leeds regardless of what the catalog minimums are normally with clearance items you can order as few as 12 pieces with decoration. Prices are discounted anywhere from 10 to 90% as shown on the site.  You can also click on the inventory button to make sure they have enough stock for your needs.
For example the Quest Aluminum Water Bottle to the right is marked down 41% to $3.98 (a great price for an aluminum water bottle).  I typed in 500 under requested quantity and it says they have enough to cover my order.

Another example is the High Sierra Backbeat Compu Messenger Bag that is available for $29.98 which is 80% off the original price.  Take a few minutes to look at all the great deals to be had.
