Our Process

How do you find the branded product that’s right for you?

We don’t need much to go on, but a few things will help us choose the perfect promotional item for you. Here’s a short list.

How do you plan to use your item? Will it be a gift? A presentation tool? A media kit enclosure? A party favor? A uniform?
Are you targeting specific types of customers with your item?
What is your budget for the item?
Do you have artwork for your item?
Do you already have something in mind?

Once I’ve chosen my item, how soon will I receive it?

We try to deliver your promotional products as quickly as possible so that you can start using them. Here’s how the process will work.
We confer with you to determine your needs.
We collect your artwork.
We show you several options, illustrated with your artwork.
We provide price points at different quantity levels - the more you buy, the cheaper the per-unit cost will be - "handsomely priced".
You choose the item and quantity you want.
We provide a complete estimate of the cost of producing the item.
We send you an electronic or faxed proof for your approval before production begins.
Once we have your approval, we submit your instructions to the vendor for creation.
We provide you with an estimated time of arrival and the method of delivery from the vendor.
You receive your items at your place of business or other designated drop-ship location and start using them.

Are there any extra charges I need to know about?

At Grand Ideas, we provide you with a complete estimate of all charges before starting any work. The following options usually add to the cost of your item:

Intricate artwork.
More than 1 Imprint color.
Cut-outs or dies for stamping/de-bossing.
Order quantities that are below the minimum order amount.
Die-casting of custom metals

Where possible, we will give you options to avoid extra charges.
