Order Q4 and Holiday Gifts Now, So You’re Not Left Behind
With gift giving and end-of-year recognition, Q4 is the busiest time of year for the promotional products industry. But given delays and shortages our industry—among many others—continues to face in 2022, it’s more important than ever to plan for Q4 well ahead of time.
The product shortages, shipping delays, increased prices and shipping costs that arrived in 2020 still affect the time it takes for you to get your Q4 gifts. If you put off ordering your holiday gifts, you risk not receiving them on time and not pulling off your end-of-year campaigns.
That’s why this year, once again, it’s more important than ever to order early. Don’t wait for the weather to change to start considering your Q4 and end-of-year projects. The best thing you can do is to order as soon as possible—even today!

That video meeting just got way easier with the Bamboo Portable Phone Stand! Made from renewable eco-friendly bamboo, simply slot the two pieces together to build a stand. Fits most smartphones vertically or horizontally. The stand comes as two flat pieces, perfect for gifting, flat mailing, travel or easy storage. Your logo’s debossed attractively right on the stand for an organic look.
