Christmas in May

Promotional Products Supply Chain Issues

Sounds crazy, but it is not. The supply chain issues disruptions, it is hard to navigate.  Promotional products have to be shipped to the US or transported within the US. So with all of this going on it is hard to keep transportation costs down. Our industry still has demands but it is getting harder and harder to fulfill customers’ demands. So it may sound crazy but if you are planning to hand out Christmas gifts or ornaments, buying in May maybe a great option.  The potential supply chain disruptions helps those that plan way in advance for opportunities. https://www.garrettspecialties.com/

Price Increases

Supplier prices are rising. Yes part of it was caused the lost of profits during the pandemic. The pandemic can’t be blamed for everything that has happened, but in reality, it’s a culmination of increased costs all the way down the supply chain.  

Due to these industry shortages, we need to get creative with fulfilling orders to in order to meet our clients needs. The supply chain issues is not going away anytime soon so it is best to be prepared. The best thing you can do is make sure to confirm your orders well in advance. Like months in advance to when you actually need the items.

It is a catch 22 that even if the products you are ordering are on a cargo ship, unfortunately, it’s likely that they will experience delays in shipping. Because of COVID protocols and labor shortages, ships are taking longer than ever to port and unload, causing backups in ports and delays all around the world. According to the Advertising Specialty Institute, products that would normally take 60-90 days to ship are now taking closer to 120. This is important to note, especially as we get into the holiday season. To receive an order by December, be sure to place it as far in advance as possible! So think of Christmas during May and June is not that far fetched.

Pay It Forward


Have you ever been a part of a “Pay It Forward” chain? 55 drive-thru customers consecutively paid for the customer behind them at Heav’nly Donuts in Amesbury, MA. The only reason the chain ended was because there were no more customers in line. The employees of the donut shop were surprised that each patron was so eager to participate.

A sales clerk said to a customer “we’re 17 cars in, you can either keep it going or you can take your coffee and go.” Acts of kindness such as these deserve attention.
The story was reported on CBS Boston, watch this video via GeoBeats News
55 Drive-Thru Customers Part Of ‘Pay It Forward’ Chain At Amesbury Donut Shop
As another clerk said, “it put everybody in a good mood.” It was a really nice gesture that could have brightened someone’s day. The best part is that it was heart warming and unexpected. That is the whole idea around the concept of  Pay It Forward. When you pay it forward it means you reciprocate an act of kindness to another person rather than back to the person who had done something for you. Then that person pays if forward to another and on and on… It is a great way to keep a good thing going.
The Movie: Pay It Forward

PPAI creates Pay It Forward Day
In 2010 the PPAI (Promotional Products Association International) created the official Promotional Professionals Pay It Forward Day. It is also know as #PromoProsPIFDay and is every year on November 6.
The idea came up to create a Promotional Professionals Pay It Forward Day during an industry event. A few of the attendees decided it would be a good idea to give back to their own communities. Why not? Promotional product professionals are very familiar with how to organize and promote charity events. There are loads of awareness giveaways and custom items for fundraising events that we use to help organizations build awareness for their charities.

Garrett Specialties Pays It Forward

A leader within the promotional product industry and a proud member of PPAI, Garrett Specialties, has also been a part of a pay it forward good deed. We too believe in paying it forward. For example, we have donated custom tote bags full of promotional goodies such as water bottles and lip balm to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of New York City. Our donation helped raise awareness for MS. It was our way of showing appreciation and paying it forward.

How can your organization pay it forward? Do you have a good pay it forward story? Please share.

Earth April 22,2022

It is immensely important to celebrate Earth day each year because it recognizes the harm humans are capable of causing while showing the massive amounts of support across the globe for protecting the Earth and the environment.

In the years leading up to the first Earth Day, Americans were consuming vast amounts of leaded gas through massive and inefficient automobiles. The auto industry then started to work on emissions. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of the consequences from either the law or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. Until this point, mainstream America remained largely oblivious to environmental concerns and how a polluted environment threatens human health.

However, the stage was set for change with the publication of Rachel Carson’s New York Times bestseller Silent Spring in 1962. Our water shed moment was raising public awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and the inextricable links between pollution and public health.

We need to plant more trees and clean up our forests of dead leaves so environmental impact automatically doubles!

The Importance of Gifts

The importance of finding the perfect giveaway for your clients or employees is important so it makes sense not to forget them. Here are some ideas and reasons why you should give giveaways.

  1. Get your name out
  2. Customer Retention
  3. Don’t forget your employees and make them feel that they are valued.
  4. To stand out from the competition

                            Get Your Name out

Keeping your customers is one of the most important aspects of any business. So, what is a way to keep your clients is by showing your appreciation. This can be done in many ways: a simple thank you email, call on the phone, give them special exclusive offers, or handing them a gift with your logo so they remember you.

                           Customer Retention


The easiest ways to keep your clients happy and retain their business is by showing your appreciation. Customer retention is one of the most important aspects of any business. Harder to get new customers so old customers should be treated like gold. Thank you goes a long way

                          Make Your Employees Feel Important

                   It is most that budget may go to your clients or customers, but don’t the  workers that help you reach your goal in the first place. Employees produce the product, take care of the jobs that you do not. If your employees are unhappy, your product quality would suffer. You cannot grow a company on the backs of unhappy employees. Hand out awards, or gifts.

                         Stand Out from the Competition

Stand out from the Competition

Guess what you are not the only business in town. If you are selling something, running for office, or trying to promote your business, chances are you are searching up and down the internet or asking people you know for referrals.

Gardening Ideas

Just to offer a few specific suggestions to get you started, Garrett Specialties has a number of different categories from which to choose. Here are just some of them:

  • Stress Balls
  • Portfolios
  • Eco-friendly Products
  • Gardening
  • Bags & Totes
  • Health & Wellness
  • Spa Goodies
  • Ducks

Covid brought many issues including trying to take care of work and children at a time when school doors close suddenly, and managing the 24/7 nature of working from home. These burdens also imply a new set of pressures for CEOs and other leaders as they attempt to support overburdened workforces.

Across industries, product-development functions are encountering a perfect storm of supply chain issues arising from the pandemic, the current Labor force, and green themes of managing cost, quality, and time. Rather than becoming part of the much-bemoaned war for talent, companies can develop capabilities of their existing workforce to fill skills gap.

Given that economies are expected to shift away from stimulus spending and other policy supports, forecasters and economists generally project a slower pace for global growth in 2022—but one that is still faster than pre-pandemic levels. Advertising becomes a key factor in keeping business and attracting new customers.

What we did learn from the pandemic, we have seen the rising importance of product sourcing, with increasing demand for diverse supplier products, sustainable products, and products that give back. In  2022, we can expect these trends to continue in a significant way.

But life can and will go on as we are beginning to see now. And with this return to life, as different as it may be at first, the time to begin rebuilding is now. Hand out promotional products from Garrett Specialties to put your name in front of your clients and also hand out items to show your employees you appreciate them hanging in there. Enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and enjoy bird watching. Great new past time.
