Why Your Marketing Needs Both a Knockout Punch and a Physical Mug (Enter: RSVP & Kick Ass Swag)
Let’s be honest for a second. If your current marketing strategy relies entirely on sending one lonely email a month and praying to the algorithms, you’re basically whispering into a hurricane. If you want people to buy from you, they need to see you. Not just once. Not just in a fleeting, 0.2-second scroll on their phone.

For a major conference, you should place your custom merchandise order 6 to 8 weeks before your event date.

If you are ordering complex, highly customized items or sourcing from international suppliers, aim for 10 to 12 weeks to sleep easily at night.
