Hello Friend ~
Amanda and I are receiving emails and attending webinar updates hosted by many of our manufacturers, importers and decorators who are all BEGGING us to consider bringing projects forward.
Why? Macro-economic issues that WILL impose on our stellar service, ability to provide what you want when you want it and cost you more (keep reading to get to the good-news part).
First an excerpt from a note from the President of one of our premier providers:
The latest information we are receiving from our manufacturer partners is that they do not anticipate any meaningful improvement with the ongoing supply chain issues, until at least mid-2022. In addition, costs continue to increase on many levels as the global supply chain and the labour market adjusts to keep things moving. We have received significant cost increases from multiple manufacturers over the past few weeks and several manufacturers are targeting early October to implement similar cost increases for their products.
The good news: we can over this by thinking ahead – like now – by securing current inventory or production time for fall and Christmas promotions, gifts, incentives, staff wearables, education pieces, etc. What do you have coming up that we need to pay attention to?
(I remember last year it took us over eight hours on the phones to secure one order of hand sanitizers… “liquid gold” as it was called then). I promise this is not a sales tactic, this is us, your business partner, looking out for you!
Let’s get on a call to discuss how we can support you. |
