If you've never planned a big marketing event or campaign before, some of the little logistics can be daunting. All the little details can seem overwhelming. The last thing you need to be worrying about is your promotional giveaways. That's why reputable business gift companies have experts on hand to lead you through the process and help you design and place your order so that it's delivered to you on time and in excellent condition. Here's what you can expect when you order promotional items from business gift companies like http://Ideasbynet.com

Browse the Catalog Online

If you're unfamiliar with the range of products offered by the company, or haven't decided yet on the promotional items that you'd like to order, you can browse the business gift company's online catalog to get ideas and find items that you want. Each item will be accompanied by a short description and a pricing chart that indicates the prices you'll pay per piece, along with any setup costs and extra costs. Don't be confused - the price structure will give you a general idea of what you can spend on the items that you want, but an account representative will work out the details and explain the costs to you.

Find the Items that You Want

Once you find the items that you want to buy, you simply request a quote on the required quantity in the colors and with the logo design you want. An account representative will usually contact you within 24 hours to get the details that the company needs to complete your order. The account representative will prepare an estimate of cost and return it to you along with any requirements and with any visuals that the company may have prepared for you. Once you're satisfied with the details, the representative will send you the relevant contract paperwork, and upon your signature, the art department will go to work on finalizing your design work for your product.

Supplying Artwork

If you want your logo or an image printed on your promotional item, you'll usually need to supply the artwork to the business gifts company. The company will specify the format in which they need the artwork submitted. In business gift companies who have an in house art department, you may be able to let them do all the work. You'll just have to supply an image of your logo or artwork, and their art department will do whatever is necessary to translate it for printing on your chosen item. If your order is large enough, many companies will provide artwork translation free of charge.

Don't have a design? Don't panic there, either. At a business gifts company like Ideasbynet the art department can even work with you to design your artwork to your specifications, or offer you suggestions for designs that will work.

Okay Your Artwork

Once you're satisfied with the final artwork, you give the company the go-ahead. They'll send the order to their production department, where your order will be actually processed and created, then shipped to you on the agreed upon schedule.

The entire process may seem intimidating, but at http://ideasbynet.com, we work with first time buyers all the time. You can count on our experienced account managers to lead you through the process and make sure that everything is delivered when you need it, where you need it and at top quality.
