How Our Trade-Only Pricing Keeps Resellers Competitive
Margins matter. In a crowded promotional market, resellers aren’t just competing on creativity – they’re competing on speed, price and reliability. That’s where trade-only pricing makes a real, practical difference.
Pricing designed for resellers, not end users
Trade-only pricing isn’t simply “cheaper”. It’s structured with resale in mind. The goal is to allow agencies and distributors to add value, remain competitive, and still achieve healthy margins.
Because PromoTrade doesn’t sell directly to end users, pricing isn’t inflated to cover marketing campaigns or direct sales teams. The focus stays where it should be: supporting the trade.
Fast quotes keep opportunities alive
Anyone in the industry knows that speed wins work. A delayed quote can cost a reseller a job before it even starts.
Trade-only suppliers understand this pressure. Fast, accurate quoting allows resellers to respond quickly to enquiries and secure orders before competitors do. When pricing is clear and consistent, resellers spend less time chasing numbers and more time building client relationships.
UK production means express really means express
One of the biggest advantages of UK-based production is turnaround time. When products are printed overseas, even express orders still rely on international shipping once production is complete.
By manufacturing in the UK, PromoTrade removes that bottleneck. Orders don’t need to cross borders after printing, which dramatically reduces lead times and the risk of delays. For resellers, this opens the door to genuine express options — not hopeful ones.
Last-minute events, tight campaign deadlines, or unexpected reorders become manageable rather than stressful.
Order on demand, without overcommitting
Modern resellers need flexibility. Ordering thousands of units upfront isn’t always practical or desirable. Trade-only pricing paired with short production runs allows resellers to order what they need, when they need it.
This reduces wasted stock, protects cash flow, and makes testing new ideas far less risky.
Competitive pricing without internal competition
Perhaps most importantly, trade-only pricing only works when the supplier doesn’t compete for the same customer. When your supplier stays firmly behind the scenes, pricing becomes a tool rather than a threat.
Resellers can confidently pitch, quote and negotiate, knowing the supplier’s role is to support — not undermine — their efforts.
Staying competitive is about more than cost
Competitiveness is a mix of price, speed and trust. With PromoTrade our trade only promotional products and pricing, combined with UK-based production and a strict non-compete approach, really does give resellers a genuine edge.
