U.S to Review China Tariffs

kris@tsgbrandedsolutions.com (Kris Wassell) — Fri, 06 May 2022 19:30:24 GMT

The future of China tariffs is up for discussion in the United States

U.S Trade Representative Katherine Tai said that reducing the U.S tariffs on imported goods from China in one of many options that could be considered to assist in reducing inflation which had increased at a 41-year high of 8.5% between March 2021 – March 2022.

Tai has cautioned that the U.S administration does not want to make decisions fighting inflation that may damage trade relations with China in the long run. The Wall Street Journal reported that Treasury Secretary Jenet Yellen and Commerce Gina Raimondo favour rolling back tariffs, while Tai and others are weary that by rolling tariffs back, the U.S may lose leverage over China in their initiative aimed at reforming China’s economic behaviour.

Tai’s office announced that it’s commencing a mandated review of the first group of tariffs on China-made goods, which could involve an analysis if they should keep the levies as they are, reduce them or remove them. The majority of promo products sold in the $23.2 billion North American industry are produced in China. Current tariffs on promo imports, including apparel and hard goods have contributed to price increases on industry-sold products in recent years.

According to data from the U.S. Census, total U.S. imports from China reached $538.51 billion in 2018. The figure dropped to $450.76 billion in 2019 and fell further again in 2020 to $434.75 billion. Despite tariffs and supply chain disruption, U.S. imports from China rose in 2021, reaching $456.83 billion. If the tariffs change, a reduction may also help in lowering promotional product costs in Canada.

Product Supply Concerns in Promo Industry

kris@tsgbrandedsolutions.com (Kris Wassell) — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 16:00:11 GMT

There are worries that lock-downs in China could cause an increased delay for product supply and delivery

A rise in Covid-19 cases has prompted shutdowns to occur in a major manufacturing hub in China. This has caused concern among promotional product suppliers in North America as this could cause a further in delay in production and delivery throughout Canada & US. A majority of promotional products are produced in China and inventory has continued to face product shortages and supply delays.

China has authorized a week-long shutdown in Shenzhen, a powerhouse in manufacturing various hard good products, from USBs to speakers and other tech products. As the inventory for these products has been unreliable before the shut down, it is expected that the shutdown in China will cause further backups and delays in shipping and production of these and other hard goods products.

As China accounts for roughly 29% global manufacturing, it could take up to several months for product supply and delivery to return to regular levels. It is expected that this will continue to cause an increase in pricing on these products and other factors at play, there is no predicting how much these prices may rise and what demand will look like in the future for these products. The best course of action should be to order what you need while you can get it as TSG does not know how long that current supplies will last, and how long that it will take to restock these products that are in high demand.

Supply Delays Continue as Prices Continue to Rise

kris@tsgbrandedsolutions.com (Kris Wassell) — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 14:56:00 GMT

As global supply issues continue, gas and product prices continue to increase

2022 has been a busy year with many factors that continue to influence the promo industry as well as all businesses. Gas has hit all-time high records in many countries as sanctions have reduced the supply causing price increases. This has had a large impact on businesses who have had to raise their prices to counteract the gas price hikes. This alone has created a large impact on many businesses. On top of this, many businesses have reopened and are able to operate at full capacity. As nice as shorter lines and wait times are, we are now starting to wait on products and supply to catch up to the increase in demand from businesses and consumers.

If you have been to a store lately, you may have noticed that many shelves are empty, prices are higher than ever, and many businesses do not know what will be available or when their products will actually be restocked. As many businesses have an idea of restock dates, they are still unsure if they will be able to rely on these estimated shipping dates. Couriers have had a massive increase in business and many have been delayed by the increase of online ordering and demand in shipping. These factors have also affected TSG as shipments are delayed, ships are still delayed in ports, and manufacturers are selling out of their products faster than they can produce them.

There is an upside to these supply issues as it means the global economy is recovering and as banks have increased interest rates, inflation rates are expected to stabilize. With everything that has happened and continues to happen, TSG wants to remind everyone not to wait to order if you need products as we try to limit our price increases, we are also under the effects of the global supply chain and work with other businesses and couriers who have also raised their pricing to keep up with inflation and demand. TSG also faces supply challenges which makes our inventory hard to keep stocked and some products have been delayed for a couple of months. If you are interested in supplying your staff with uniforms, or giving your valued customers gifts, now is the time to reach out to TSG and we will help you as best as we are able to.

Grow Your Local Influence

kris@tsgbrandedsolutions.com (Kris Wassell) — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 13:00:05 GMT

Become more visible in your local city or town, help build your brand, & increase your sales opportunities.

Whether you are a new business or one that is well established in your area, the same problem will be present. How do I increase my brand influence and exposure? This question is a big part of every business and needs to be addressed constantly. It can be easy to get stuck in a marketing rut where you keep putting out the same ideas and get low returns when it comes to new customers or inquiries. RevLocal focuses on local search and digital marketing and reported that 75% of Google searches for local solutions to individual’s product and service needs lead to brick-and-mortar visits within 24 hours. As many businesses are seeing a rise in a support local mentality from consumers, it is important to be part of this idea and utilize your marketing towards it.

A recent study has shown that 70% of consumers support local business, primarily to keep money in their area. Here are a few ways to make this data work for you.

Join professional organizations

many new businesses don’t realize that they are able to join their local chamber of commerce or business association. This is a great way to get listed in a book of local businesses which can be sent out or viewed online by customers and other businesses that ay need your service. This is a great way to get to know other local business owners who may help spread your name.
Sponsor Local Events – Put your name front and centre by sponsoring local events such as local parades, fundraisers, farmer’s markets, sports teams, or tourism attractions. This is a good way to show you support the community and those who attend the events will remember how you were committed to help them. There are also times when your town or city may need sponsorship to hold bigger events which can draw in media attention and your brand will be seen by potential customers from surrounding areas that are attending the event.

Volunteer your space and time

There are times when you can volunteer your building or even parking lot to help with a local cause or event. These are low-cost ways to get your business noticed and will give you an opportunity to meet and greet with new or existing customers and build that relationship. By holding a food drive or offering your parking lot for a car show or charitable event, you will be the star location for many community members to gather and notice your business without pushing there with sales offers.

Focus on digital marketing

Putting out digital marketing seems like an obvious answer to any marketing problem, but many businesses don’t bother with it saying what they have already works, or it will cost too much. Sometimes all it takes is making a social media post about a local event that you had attended or supported, writing a blog about something your business focuses on, or simply allowing your customers shop or talk to you online. The most important part of digital marketing is having a website that your customers can visit. A Facebook page can be good but having a website with your information, pictures, services, and products can be a way to showcase your business and show customers what they will experience when they come to see you.

Using a combination of all these practices will increase your brand awareness and lead to an increase in repeat customers and new customers who will reach out for the first time. This will take time and some practice but once you have a plan you will find that these are easy things to do and keep up with and you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

‘Onshoring’ Resurgence in United States

kris@tsgbrandedsolutions.com (Kris Wassell) — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 19:21:45 GMT

Success for American manufacturers as well as the global supply chain crisis has compelled calls to bring production back to the U.S.

There have been high profile examples of “onshoring” happening in the US lately as global supply chain issues have continued to be problematic. As such, many manufacturers have been looking at bringing manufacturing to countries closer to American shores. “There’s a strong interest and drive for domestic manufacturing to increase, not only in the U.S. but in many industrialized countries,” says Jose Gomez, president of Kalamazoo, “There’s evidence that the needle is currently moving in that direction, but there are structural constraints that will limit the scale of this move.” With this opinion, there are also promo companies who have doubts as it comes to the promo industry. As Teresa Fang, Vice President of Alphabroder stated “There will certainly be efforts to bring promo supply lines closer, but the reality of the situation is that for many reasons – from labor cost to the ability to secure raw materials in a cost-effective manner – it will be very difficult to do so.”

The global supply chain disruption of the last couple years, a result of fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, has caused problems across industries. In promo, it’s most notably led to issues like inventory shortages, higher product prices and longer production/order fulfillment times. That’s driven increased calls among some distributors and other industry stakeholders to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.
Some companies such as Intel have announced its intention to build the “largest silicon manufacturing location on the planet.” The total investment is said to top $20 billion. General Motors has contemplated investing close to $4 billion to expand electric vehicle and battery production, and Toyota said it is planning a $1.3 billion battery plant which will employ 1,750 people. Before these were announced, Samsung had declared that it will construct a $17 billion semiconductor plant in Texas. These companies will help drive “onshoring” in the U.S. as they bring more jobs and economic growth to the country and will be a good way to measure the success of increasing manufacturing in the U.S.

This is good news for the Auto and Tech industry, but promo still has its doubts as it is unsure if they will be able to bring manufacturing closer. China currently manufactures the majority of promo goods sold domestically and can produce these goods for cheaper than what can be produced in the U.S. and Canada. “When I graduated from West Point in 1993, more than 50% of the apparel in the U.S. was made in the U.S.,” says Dean Wegner, founder and CEO of Authentically American “Today it’s tragically less than 3%. Apparel production moved overseas to chase cheap labor and higher profits.” Going forward, he believes Made-in-America items will account for a greater percentage of sales in promo, but viewed at scale it will be “a nominal increase in the short term. There’s not enough production capacity in the U.S. to support a significant increase.” There has been an opposing opinion from Montaubin, senior vice president for product management and sourcing at Koozie Group “It would be impossible to build an alternative supply chain overnight” “There are so many steps in the process, from qualifying the factories to navigating transportation, and that doesn’t even consider the sheer cost. We believe we will continue to rely heavily on Asia for the foreseeable future, but we wouldn’t be surprised if a small portion of the supply chain comes back to the U.S. and Central/Latin America.”

As there are many conflicting ideas, it is tough to decide on who will be right when it comes to the future of promo, and if “onshoring” will be a success in the U.S. Bottom-line: U.S. producers are out there. Some are thriving. Still, most products sold in the North American promo market will continue to be made outside these shores. We will have to wait and see what the future hold for the promo industry when it comes to 'onshoring'

Amazon Shutdowns Program Accused of Price-Fixing

kris@tsgbrandedsolutions.com (Kris Wassell) — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 18:03:43 GMT

The tech giant denies wrongdoing and says its Sold by Amazon was legal, Washington’s Attorney General alleged it involved price-fixing and violates antitrust law.

Amazon is ending its third-party seller program that Attorney General Bob Ferguson alleged is involved in price-fixing. Price-fixing is an illegal agreement between participants which agree to buy or sell products or services at a set cost. Amazon is accused of using technology to agree on prices with third-party sellers who sold on the multinational technology company’s e-commerce platform rather than compete with those businesses. Amazon will now need to provide annual updates on its compliance with antitrust laws. Ferguson said in a press release that “Consumers lose when corporate giants like Amazon fix prices to increase their profits,” “Today’s action promotes product innovation and consumer choice, and makes the market more competitive for sellers in Washington state and across the country.” Amazon had declared net sales of $110.80 Billion during the third quarter of 2021.

Ferguson alleges that Sold by Amazon drew in third-party sellers by guaranteeing that they would receive an agreed upon minimum payment for sales in exchange for their agreement to stop competing with Amazon. This program resulted in product prices increasing as Amazon’s algorithm was used to match prices from certain external retailers. As these prices increased, these sellers experienced a loss in sales and profits from Amazon’s algorithm and pricing practices. As these prices had been raised, many consumers had switched to buying Amazon branded products instead of third-party seller products which helped Amazon maximize their profits.

According to the investigation, a majority of products offered in the Sold by Amazon program have been set at artificially high prices. As this algorithm was used, sellers had limited ability to lower the price of the product without withdrawing from Amazon’s third-party seller program. Many e-commerce platforms are available for third-party sellers, but Amazon has a large share in the e-commerce market with a forcasted 50% market-share. As many businesses try to compete with companies such as Amazon, trying to break into the market can be difficult as they cannot offer as many products at the low prices that Amazon branded products are being sold at. Many consumers also forget that they can contact these third-party sellers to support them directly or they many even be able to offer their original price before the algorithm had adjusted their products pricing.

Promo Industry Sees Large Increase in PPE Demand

kris@tsgbrandedsolutions.com (Kris Wassell) — Mon, 24 Jan 2022 15:48:28 GMT

Distributors are now seeing a large growth in interest and inquires about K95 & KN95 masks and other PPE in the past few weeks.

As the Omicron variant has continued to spread rapidly across Canada and the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its mask guidelines which notes that properly fitted N95 and KN95 respirators offer the highest level of protection. This news has many consumers looking to upgrade their face coverings which has caused a large increase in searches for “N95 masks”. This search has increased by 1,586% on ASI’s database and is expected to be similar across many distributor searches. Many businesses have also stated that they have seen an increase in PPE orders and that they are prepared for another spike in demand. Distributors say that they are now better prepared and equipped to handle the upcoming spike and suspect that inventory shortages should not be as bad as in the peak of 2020.

With this news, tradeshows are also starting to make a comeback as the show season is upon us. This has caused many venue holders and promo businesses attending to stock up on PPE for the attendees and staff working the events. One company has stated that they have had 2 casinos’ reach out about obtaining recommended PPE and KN95 masks for their staff. Experts expect that these masks will be top sellers but they do not think that price volatility will happen, hoping that pricing will remain stable throughout the surge in sales and product acquisition.

Industry experts are staying up to date with the latest recommendations and news to remain educated to avoid fraudulent or counterfeit products which continue to pop up. To prevent valued customers from getting fraudulent or counterfeit products, TSG has put effort into attaining FDA approved N95 masks. TSG keeps up to date on the latest news to keep our valued customers safe by providing reliable and trustworthy products.

To be the first to get your hands on these products please reach out to TSG as soon as possible by emailing orders@tsgbrandedsolutions.com or by calling toll-free: 1-866-828-2874 as TSG cannot guarantee that inventory will last. Please note that N95 and KN95 masks cannot be decorated as it may reduce the effectiveness of the products.

Omicron's Effect on Business

kris@tsgbrandedsolutions.com (Kris Wassell) — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 16:07:05 GMT

As the Omicron variant of Covid-19 has spread faster than any variant, many supply chains and distributors have felt the effect. Although experts are predicting that sales will continue to grow and not be impacted by this variant, tighter restrictions and shutdowns are occurring. Many businesses have not seen their sales impacted but there is a strong prediction that supply and acquiring products will remain to be an issue.

As these issues continue to grow without allowing production to resume back to pre-pandemic levels, it is expected that inventory will be difficult to acquire, and the prices of these products will rise again. There is as mix of conflicting ideas as to how consumers purchasing habits will be affected by these new restrictions. The future of supply and how pricing is going to be set is going to be determined on how consumers will behave with these new restrictions. If there is another rise in demand and higher spending, inflation will occur and prices of production, shipping and supply grow higher. If consumers slow in their spending habit the opposite will occur, helping alleviate the backlogs at ports and production facilities will be able to restock to comfortable levels again, causing prices the level out in the long run. Either of these events will create a different type of problem for suppliers and distributors whether it causes a loss of profits and slower sales, or if the current supply issues persist or worsen.

These factors put distributors in a tough position, as they are unable to take precautionary steps to secure inventory or accurately predict upcoming emerging trends in the market. The best way to solve these issues are having consumers reach out with their upcoming or predicted products that they will need to keep their personal lives and businesses running. With all these issues, the one that is hardest to manage is trying to keep pricing at a reasonable price is also becoming a difficult challenge. With all these factors, there is one thing that the industry does know, and that is how to keep consumers interested with a large choice of products and how to persist through these difficult times to get customers the products that they so desperately need, even if it takes a little longer with all these obstacles in place.

Expected Promo Growth for 2022

kris@tsgbrandedsolutions.com (Kris Wassell) — Wed, 29 Dec 2021 15:26:13 GMT

Suppliers and distributors are optimistic about 2022

2021 is sending on a high note for many suppliers and distributors as Q4 has ended with higher sales than the previous year. Many suppliers and distributors have seen these record-breaking numbers and are looking to keep an upward trend going for 2022.

This optimism for the new year is more than just a hope as businesses are starting to return to normal. More hiring has been taking place and unemployment rates are expected to continue to decline. This is great news for businesses everywhere as industries are seeing an increase in disposable income and personal spending which will continue to help companies grow and drive sales even higher.

Even with many businesses operating their staff on a working from home basis, business has still been booming. This has created a surge in demand for working from home kits, which include cooler and drinkware giftsets and other home engagement bundles. These products are expected to be a trend up to 2023 and many businesses expect that a return to the office will not be fully in place until then. As working from home has also cut many business costs such as travelling for meetings, booking hotels and other incurred expenses. This has helped increase budgets which have been used to reward employees and increase promotion that companies would normally have spent in other ways.

Many businesses are thanking their employees for their commitment to keeping their companies running and increasing success. With this increased success, many businesses have been rewarding their employees with gifts and other incentives to keep morale high and ensure that their employees keep working with high motivation and good mental health. The continued efforts of these employees have been the driving force in many successes seen in top promotional suppliers such as Gildan which as seen an increase in sales by 28%.

If these trends continue the industry is optimistic that 2022 will be another record-breaking year for sales and business growth for the promotions industry. If you are interested in thanking your staff with promotion gifts or want a unique way to show your appreciation, reach out to inquiry@tsgbrandedsolutions.com or call:1-866-828-2874 Ext: 101 and TSG will help you with your businesses promotional needs.

Continued Supply Delays Expected For 2022

Fri, 10 Dec 2021 20:52:03 GMT

Some Manufacturers See Printwear Down 75%

As the Covid-19 pandemic still affects our every day lives, it creates more issues and delays in manufacturing and larger businesses who can't keep up with demand. As larger companies such as Gildan have been hit as hard as many other companies, their production of printwear has fallen 75%. On top of this, many garment companies in Central America had been devastated by hurricanes. With these factors, TSG as well as many other promotional product suppliers have had trouble sourcing and guaranteeing apparel and hard goods.

As normalcy has begun to return to businesses and retail environments, the demand for garments and other supplies has increased dramatically, and this has increased the shortage of supply and as production of these products are still at a crawl. 2022 is expected to see the same issues as previous years. As these problems continue, the prices to keep manufacturing will also continue to rise, the Advertising Specialty Institute predicts that prices will increase anywhere between 2%-10% this is on top of the 6.8% increase that was seen from 2020-2021. Along with all of these increases, worker's wages have increased 4.6% in that same time period.

TSG suggest that orders should be placed early, as back orders will be a factor in the ordering process and couriers have also experienced delays in shipments from an increase in demand and increasing natural disasters around the globe. As all these factors can cause fear and a surge in panic buying, TSG recommends reaching out to your trusted promotion products supplier to receive advice with ordering and expected timelines for supplies and products to be delivered.
