Leaderpromos.com has extensive experience dealing with RFPs and can help guide you in what questions to ask of a prospective supplier, as well as how best to yield quality results. An RFP should involve more than just the price. A basic list of things to consider when looking for a promotional vendor includes:

    • Does the vendor have a large selection of available promotional products?
    • Is the vendor a recognized industry leader with a strong Web marketing strategy and proven results?
    • Can the vendor source products globally to take advantage of price efficiencies world-wide?
    • Does the vendor have established relationships with all vendors that are required to fulfill the program?
    • Does the vendor demonstrate an online store technology (link back to online stores selections)?
    • Is the site well-tested, robust and secure for 24/7, 365 days a year access?
    • Do they have a dedicated account team or will you get call center customer service?
    • How does the prospective vendor control inventory costs to keep your liability low?
    • How are marketing items tracked through the order delivery process?
    • Will the vendor ship on your freight number to control freight costs?
    • Are there hidden shipping and handling charges?
    • Will they customize the site to fit your company's specific needs?
    • Will the vendor control the usage of your brand and adhere to your brand standards?

The above are just a sampling of the things that need to be considered when searching for your promotional item and logo apparel vendor. The process can seem intimidating when first starting out, but with our years of experience we can help simplify the process and make it easy to get positive results.
