Saving Money on Promotional Toys

Creative ways to save when buying promotional toys to advertise your business

Promotional toys and corporate toys with custom logos are a great way to advertise and promote your business. Promo toys make great giveaways or keepsakes at trade shows, conferences and expos -- anywhere where your business is trying to stand head and shoulders above the crowd. In many instances the expectation of these sorts of toy promos is what draws crowds to your booth or exhibit.

Promotional toys or logos on toys keep your company's name in the mind of potential customers long after you have made their acquaintance or after they have left the show. The cost of buying thousands of toys with your business logo on them can add up, so budget-conscious companies must look wherever they can to cut expenses. Consider the following suggestions for saving money on promotional toys:

1. Look for closeout or clearance items offered on promotional toys vendor websites.

2. Buy from vendors that offer discounts off of promotional toys order totals.

3. Buy in bulk and save on custom logo toys.

 

Look for closeout or clearance items on promotional toys websites

Many promotional item and custom logo vendor websites offer discounts on clearance or closeout toys. Generally this is done to make room for new inventory or to get rid of inventory that hasn't sold as well.
Try: ePromos Promotional Products Promotional Items has more than 200 closeout items listed on its website at discounted prices. Rush King Promotions features closeout items in smaller numbers, but with equal cost savings.

Take discounts offered off of promotional toys order totals

Surf the web and you will find that many vendors offer percentage discounts off of total orders. Be sure to read the fine print, however, since many times you must spend a minimum amount to be eligible for the discount.
Try: Fun Express, a wholesale toys and promotional items company, offers 10% off of orders greater than $250. Branders is offering a $50 store credit for first-time purchases of more than $500.

Buy in bulk and save on custom logo toys

Buying in high volume can generate significant savings when it comes to wholesale personalized toys. Generally speaking, the per-unit price of each item is reduced based on the amount that you purchase. In some instances the price can go down as much as 20 cents when you purchase the highest volume amounts available for sale.
Try: Promopeddler's prices on its wholesale personalized toys goes down as you buy more. The per-unit price of custom logo toys at Clayton Kendall gets reduced when your purchase larger amounts.

 

• Many promotional toy websites have newsletters that to which you can subscribe to get advanced notice of sales, promotions and discounts. Consider signing up for some of these to take advantage of the potential savings.
