Timing is everything — especially when it comes to ordering promotional clothing for your small business events in cities and towns across Canada. Planning ahead ensures your branded gear arrives on time, looks great, and fits your budget.
Here’s a helpful guide on the best times of year to order promotional apparel so you never miss the mark.
1. Plan 6-8 Weeks Ahead for Big Events
Whether it’s a trade show, grand opening, or community festival, order your apparel 6 to 8 weeks before the event date. This allows time for:
Design finalization
Production and quality checks
Shipping and delivery
Last-minute adjustments if needed
2. Avoid Peak Seasons for Faster Turnaround
Spring and early summer are busy for many businesses due to outdoor events and festivals. If possible, place orders early in the year (January to March) to avoid delays.
Similarly, fall is popular for trade shows and charity runs—plan accordingly.
3. Holiday and Year-End Events
If you’re ordering for holiday giveaways, employee gifts, or New Year promotions, place your order by mid-November to guarantee delivery before the holidays.
4. Take Advantage of Seasonal Discounts
Many suppliers, including PromoPays, offer discounts during slower months (typically late winter). Ordering during these times can save you money without compromising quality.
5. Coordinate with Your Marketing Calendar
Align your apparel orders with marketing campaigns or product launches to maximize impact.
6. Order Early for Customized or Eco-Friendly Options
Custom fabrics, embroidery, or eco-friendly apparel may require longer production times. Order these items well in advance.
