Unlock Efficiencies with an LSi Promotional Merchandise Corporate Scheme

An LSi Corporate Scheme delivers the best solution for busy marketers managing Promotional Merchandise collections for larger corporate entities.

You may have ended up holding stocks because:

  • Minimum Orders: The processing of promotional merchandise orders does often require a minimum amount of product to be printed to make a print run viable and cost effective. But often across a large company with satellite offices, or exhibition / PR teams or maybe sales people on the road one particular "user" doesn't need the minimum order size but company wide you do, so you end up holding stocks…
  • Production Lead Times: These same "users" might not think ahead or opportunities arise that need a quick responses, in such cases waiting for stocks to be printed to order isn't an option, so you end up holding stocks…
  • Price: These same "users" might all be ordering the same minimum order quantity of a product over the course of the year… not necessarily using them all… and all paying the minimum order price for the product, when company wide you might need ten times as much product and could receive a significant discount, so you end up holding stocks…
  • Brand Management: on allowing "users" to order their own merchandise you begin to see all manner of merchandise, in different colour combinations and your corporate brand guidelines being misused, so you end up holding stocks…

Now you are experiencing the pain of managing stocks!

  • But the office premises is small, or head count is expanding and you don't have the space for storing your promotional merchandise
  • COVID has changed the working landscape and the use of office premises and working from home, you might no longer be working from the office where maybe your merchandise has been stored
  • You are a busy Marketer or maybe Event Manager or Human Resources Manager, you do not have the time for picking and packing merchandise requests from colleagues, or have all the packing materials & different box sizes to make it easy
  • You don't have a courier account or internal postage system, and taking boxes to the post office is a nightmare!
  • Managing stocks is a pain, colleagues have a habit of taking without asking and keeping track and knowing when to re-order is really not part of your job!
