When it comes to promotional products there are millions of companies that one can choose to order from. The problem is really determining which companies are the best ones for you to place an order with and while it would be simple if all you had to do was find the nicest looking website and order from it but some of the best looking websites are run by some of the worst companies. Instead of considering the look of a particular website as a factor you are best off considering these three other factors when trying to determine if the promotional merchandise company you are planning on dealing with is reputable.
For starters you should always look to see if they take major credit cards. If they don’t then you most definitely want to be leery. Major credit card companies must approve every merchant who takes credit cards and while this isn’t a guarantee that you are dealing with a reputable company it is a good starting point.
Finding out information about any company online is a breeze and a simple Google search in a few different formats including information such as the company address and phone number will most likely turn up any problems that exist with the company itself. You may find court cases, customer complaints, and in general information about the company itself but all of this information can help you figure out exactly who you are dealing with.
Any company that you are considering using should offer you both a sample sized order option and a customer satisfaction guarantee. If you are dealing with a company for the first time they should be looking to impress you with their work and as a result they should be willing to encourage you a sample of their work and also when it arrives it should be of good quality. If a company is going out of its way to impress you then you most definitely should be impressed.
Remember the burden of proof is on the company so if you ask them a few questions and just simply don’t feel comfortable with them always go with your gut. Making selections simply because you are feeling pressured is an unwise way to go about choosing a promotional products company and anything that will come of that is just simply not good at all.
