Wholesale Promotional Products FAQs
What are wholesale promotional products?
Wholesale promotional products are branded merchandise purchased in bulk quantities at reduced per-unit pricing. Organizations use wholesale buying to lower costs while maintaining brand consistency across employees, customers, and events.
What is the minimum order quantity for promotional products?
Minimum order quantities vary by product and supplier. Most promotional products have minimums ranging from 12 to 144 units, though many items are available in smaller quantities. Your account manager will identify products that match your quantity needs and budget.
How much do wholesale promotional products cost?
Costs vary significantly by product type, quantity, decoration method, and customization. Bulk purchasing lowers the per-unit cost substantially — ordering 250 units of a product typically costs meaningfully less per piece than ordering 50 units. Contact us for a custom quote.
What promotional products have the best ROI?
Products with high daily utility — apparel, drinkware, bags, and technology accessories — generate the most impressions over time. Studies consistently show branded apparel and bags deliver the lowest cost per impression of any advertising medium.
Can promotional products be warehoused for future use?
Yes. Kevins Worldwide provides complimentary warehousing for ongoing programs. Products can be stored in our fulfillment network and distributed to employees, offices, events, and customers on demand.
Can promotional products be shipped directly to employees?
Absolutely. Our fulfillment team handles individual employee shipments, bulk office deliveries, event shipments, onboarding kits, and multi-location distribution programs — all from a centralized inventory.
What industries use promotional products most frequently?
Promotional products are used across virtually every industry. Financial services, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, higher education, and construction are among the highest-volume users, primarily for employee programs, recruiting, events, and customer appreciation.
What's the difference between promotional products and branded merchandise?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Promotional products typically refer to giveaway items used for marketing and events. Branded merchandise more broadly describes any product carrying a company’s logo or branding — including uniforms, company store items, and employee gifts.
How long does production take?
Standard production typically ranges from 5 to 15 business days depending on the product, quantity, and decoration method. Rush production is available for many items. Maintaining warehouse inventory significantly reduces lead times for ongoing programs.
Can I create an online company store for promotional products?
Yes. Kevins Worldwide builds custom company stores that allow employees, departments, and approved users to order branded merchandise directly. Stores include inventory management, brand controls, and budget management tools.
