Eco-friendly promotional products: how to compare them
A useful selection begins with the requirement, not the product. Define the objective, recipient, context, budget, quantity and deadline before comparing references and customisation options.
2. Set budget, quantity and timing
Compare cost per person and total investment, allowing time for selection, artwork approval, production and shipping.
3. Match the product to the recipient
Usefulness, context and perceived quality help reduce waste and increase the likelihood that the product will be used.
4. Validate customisation
Confirm the compatible component, location, print area, technique and number of colours before ordering.
