… and it’s only partially because I’m still obsessing over the Summer Olympics.

The simple fact is that we haven’t been doing uniforms correctly… Let me walk that back a bit. Distributors engaged in the sales of uniforms have done a square job of positioning this item as the current standard sees fit. The problem is that the current standard that buyers have been operating under is changing right in front of our eyes.

Based on the trends that are appearing in the larger marketplace… If you aren’t presenting a uniform that dresses Head-to-(LITERAL) Toe, then you aren’t presenting the full uniform.

SHORT STORY, BIG PICTURE  

Are you Reactively Selling?

No matter how hard we try to get in front of our customer’s needs we still get the occasional, “I need these products like yesterday” requests. How we handle these situations can make or break the customer relationship.

Today’s Short Story is a piece that helps you achieve your long-term goals, aka the Big Picture.

Reactive selling (waiting for the customer to call you) is a useful strategy as you don’t look pushy, but it can lead to rushed orders or worse, being unable to fill their request. Here are three things you can do to make the overall experience better:

So, yeah... Now there's a Podcast

unBRNDed - EP1 - Martin Atkins

There has always been a discussion over putting out a podcast. The question we faced was: Does PromoEQP do this “in-house”, OR do we identify a respected industry voice that has something powerful to say — that’s on brand with PromoEQP’s mission?

The problem with doing a podcast in-house, is that after the 4th or 5th episode, most everyone would realize that I’m really just a broken record. Seriously, I’m essentially ALWAYS saying some deviation of the same thing:

The Voices that Influence

One of the modern ways business owners choose to educate themselves on trends is by listening to or watching business-related podcasts, videos, or webinars. However, finding the RIGHT voices to listen to can be a daunting task as all business owners vary in the way they approach the day-to-day.

Today’s Short Story is a piece that helps you achieve your long-term goals, aka the Big Picture.

Whether we choose to admit it or not, when we listen to outside voices, we tend to take what is being said as gospel and start acting on what we hear. This is why choosing who we listen to is so important and here are three things to look for when making that choice:

What Jeremy learned on Summer Vacation

The power of the Water Bottle (and reusable cups)… Uniforms MUST include shoes… The surprising practicality and imprint-ability of the Hand Fan… TOTES… Fanny Packs are for security… Olympic Fan-Zones connected ALL OF FRANCE to the Olympics… Previously received Promo Products RULED the Parisian streets.

Just to be clear… This is about to become an absolute OBSESSION for me. There are at least 4 pages of bullet-pointed notes that I created surrounding imprinted products and the Paris 2024 Olympics (and each bullet-point deserves to be an entire write-up in and of themselves.) continue reading

Q4 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. CONNECTING TODAY HAS THE POWER OF REMINDING THEM HOW MUCH THEY WILL BE NEEDING YOU TOMORROW.

We always talk about the power of the Distributor / Buyer relationship. Unfortunately, all too often our Industry’s message devolves into speaking about new digital programs you should be driving buyers to… OR new back-office systems you should be buying to store more information about those buyers… OR new social media marketing platform you could invest in to stay in front of your buyer.

My thing is… If you’re only dealing with “Buyers”, then they haven’t become Customers – and the only one who can change that is YOU.

So, what is the value of focusing on moving buyers over to Customers?

Work like a Puppy

You are busy and you get stuff done. Some would say you, “work like a dog.” Keep that up, but let’s look at it a different way. 

What if you were to approach every day like a puppy? Today’s Short Story is a piece to help you achieve your long-term goals, aka the Big Picture. 

I love seeing little puppies navigate social settings and got me wondering if there was a business connection. Here are 3 lessons that you can learn from thinking like a puppy:

DISTRIBUTORS ARE EXPRESSING THEIR FRUSTRATION… PROMOEQP IS ACTIVE IN OUR REACTION.

Let's start this out with an absolute statement: PromoEQP does NOT sell — or in any way monetize — our subscribing distributor list… Full stop.

This statement is made because a recent uptick in Supplier-based email marketing has sparked frustration amongst the PromoEQP distributors. In this frustration, there have been assumptions of PromoEQP actively profiting off of the commerce of distributor data just as “everyone else does”.

How do the Wrigley ticket credits work?

People Got Questions About How the Wrigley Rooftop Ticket Crediting Works…

PROMOEQP HAS PLANNED A REALLY COOL EVENT… AND IF YOU WANT TO BE THERE, THEN PROMOEQP WANTS YOU THERE.

The problem is, that Rooftop DOES NOT have unlimited space. This means we need to use the purchased ticket to ensure that you have secured your place at the event. Regardless, this isn’t about a dollar grab for PromoEQP. This is about creating an event that everyone can enjoy and attend. HENCE, the crediting of the ticket cost BACK to your PromoEQP Subscription.
 

How much is PromoEQP crediting?
Who does the credit apply to?
