Customers & Scenarios For Using Express Merchandise
Event Organisers & Planners
Event organisers will regularly have to manage unpredictable changes to event details, increased attendees, or last minute sponsors.
Scenario example:
An events company organising a business conference sees a surge in attendee registrations just a few days before the event. Express promotional products such as lanyards and tote bags can be delivered rapidly to ensure every visitor receives to same promotional merchandise.
Trade Show Exhibitors
Businesses that regularly attend trade shows often require branded merchandise on tight schedules, especially when making a late decision to participate.
Scenario example:
A company secures a last minute position at a trade show due to a cancellation or last minute offer. They need branded pens, notepads and bags urgently. You can make sure they are equipped despite the short notice.
Retail & Hospitality Businesses
Retailers and hospitality businesses will often experience occasions when urgent promotional items are required. Such as during flash sales, seasonal sales or pop up shops.
Scenario example:
A retailer decides at short notice to run a big sale to concincide with a public holiday. They quickly need promotional products to help build awareness. Express merchandise can ensure the sales launches smoothly and drives customer engagement.
Charities & Non Profits
These types of organisations can often deal with last minute fundraising opportunities that require the rapid delivery of promotional merchandise to maximise awareness.
Scenario example:
Due to a sponsor dropping out, a local charity has been handed a late opportunity to promote themselves at a community festival. They urgently require promotional badges, sunglasses and hats so they don’t miss out on a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of their work.
