Do You Hate It When People Talk “Holidays” This Early In Year?

 

I do in general, as in when it comes to talking about gifts and so forth for family and friends.  

I DO NOT though when it comes to talking about business and corporate gifts because it is such a different purchasing process.  Here’s good reasons to start now on your holiday gifts for clients or employees: 

·         Inventory is not near as big of an issue this time of year.  If you wait till November or December a lot of items are already out of stock with no replacements coming in till after January 1.

·         You will get the item you want.  Even when there is inventory later in the year it may not always be available in the particular choice you want.  This time of year the odds are much more in your favor.

·         You can avoid rush fees.  It happens later in year.

·         You won’t have to wait as long for production.  As we get closer to the holidays, and demand goes way up, the production times get longer.  I’ve seen clients not getting their gifts to give out until right around Christmas, and a lot of the recipients might already be gone for the holidays by then.

·         You will enjoy your holidays more.  The gift purchasing is over and done with so you can relax and enjoy more.  You can take a little more time now also to decide what gift you want, instead of rushing and settling.

·         You will save money.  Many customers do not realize it but a lot of times you can find the same item from different suppliers.  The problem closer to the holidays is that the less expensive suppliers are sold out so you have to resort to a more expensive item.

·         You will have time for a sample to be sure you like the item you want to give.  That can’t happen when it is a last minute rush situation.
