Production and Sourcing: Powertex's Promotional Advantage:

Powertex offers many different value-added services to it's clients such as: email and catalog marketing, e-commerce, direct mail services, creative services, full retail line creation, live event support services, warehousing, distribution and more. However, the core strength of Powertex's line of services has always been in the areas of sourcing and producing goods both domestically and overseas. Our ability to execute these services is key to helping our clients get the goods they need within the timeframes they need, and at competitive prices. In this article we will examine the processes and mechanisms we use to provide promotional products to our clients.

Just-in-Time Production:

One of the most important components in the way we provide our customers with their promotional items is our central production facility where we do a vast majority of our screen printing and embroidery. Capable of producing 50,000 decorated garments per day, it allows us to provide our clients with domestically sourced goods with very fast turnaround times. Our Just-in-Time facility also allows us to fulfill products on an as-needed basis or for projects that demand small quantities or special customization.

Domestic Relationships:

Through our relationships with domestic producers, we can supply our clients with almost any sort of promotional item imaginable. From custom pens and pencils, to customized electronics, to custom balloons and yo-yos, we can find it through our network of domestic suppliers. One of the most important resources we have in regards to this is ASI, or Ad Specialty Institute. ASI is an organization which oversees and organizes a community of thousands of promotional suppliers and vendors. Thorough this invaluable network, we have established a wide variety of promotional partners in providing you with the products you need.

Overseas Sourcing:

Powertex has over 25 years experience with worldwide sourcing and production. We have developed important relationships with key producers and suppliers all around the globe. These relationships allow us to fulfill goods at a 30-40% savings over domestic production methods. We are also able, through our overseas sourcing abilities, to cost-effectively fulfill much larger programs than we would versus domestic sourcing. When conditions demand, we can combine overseas production with domestic production for our clients to ensure the correct balance of quick turnaround and cost savings.

Volume Leverage:

One of the major advantage Powertex has over almost every promotional supplier out there, is our sheer amount of volume which allows us to leverage our price points against our competitors. Many of our suppliers, due to the amount of volume we do, give us End-Quantity Pricing or better. End-Quantity-Pricing, or EQP, is the pricing that they would allow normal suppliers only when purchasing a very high quantity of products. Powertex, on the other hand, gets this pricing structure applied to its orders, even at minimums. We can then, in turn, pass these savings on to our clients to ensure to ensure a cost-effective program, and maximize their spending power.

Powertex has a full arsenal of sourcing and production solutions available for your next promotional program. We are experts at utilizing and combining all these aspects to carefully balance the product availability and price points to best match your program.
