• The more promotional hats you order, the cheaper they are per hat.
• Ask the vendor what the required minimum purchase amount is (in dollars or in the number of logo hats ordered) before you spend too much time on that vendor’s site, if your order will be small – some will not allow orders under a set minimum.
• Some promotional manufacturers of logo hats offer free set-up, while others charge design or set up fees, so ask before you order to make sure you understand their pricing breakdown.
• Consult with the vendor regarding the business hats’ fabric types and closures (we recommend Velcro for its flexibility).
• Ask about the production times, as well as “rush” times and prices for custom hats before placing your order, especially if you’re planning to use them for a company sports team event – or at another business-sponsored function.
• Keep your logo consistent on all logo hats and other apparel to build brand recognition.
