My Grandfather always said "if something seems too good to be true it probably is".
Very wise words from a man who had seen just about everything in his 94 years and I cannot agree more.
He also said "make sure you investigate every angle before making a decision on anything".
Again, very wise words that have saved me (and the family) a lot of time, effort and money over the years.
When buying reusable promotional bags, you should always look at what you're getting for your money.
Everyone always looks at the Product and the Supplier :
Product :
- fabric type and composition
- size and shape
- print method
- etc, etc, etc
- etc, etc, etc
Supplier :
- ethical sourcing policies
- environmental policies
- fairtrade and carbon offset initiatives
- etc, etc, etc
- etc, etc, etc
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU INVESTIGATED THE SUPPLY CHANNEL?
Supply Channel is the method of how your products eventually get to you.
How many hands does your order go through?
How many people are involved?
How much money does each party add to the cost of your goods?
Again - HOW MUCH MONEY DOES EACH PARTY ADD TO THE COST OF YOUR GOODS?
I'm perfectly comfortable if each party is adding value, but when they're just shuffling your order along the line and taking a cut.... do you think that's good value for money?
Here's the simplest way we can explain the regular Supply Channel you'll know about.
Then compare the Bag People method.
Then compare the Bag People method.
Have a look for yourself and see where the value might be?
Our prices might seem too good to be true, but in reality they're just a reflection of the complexity of our supply channel.
