mimibland 0 Posted September 21, 2011 I have an order from a customer for about 20 shirts, 10 window decals, and a larger decal for a truck window. This is my first order with several different items. Do you give discounts with larger orders like this? The customer has not asked for one. But, I was wondering if I should throw in the small window decals because they ordered so many shirts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted September 21, 2011 I try not to give a discount unless asked..... As far as free gifts, I try to keep blank shirts, aprons, tote bags, etc, in stock so I can heat press on the client's design and throw in as appropriate.....

Promise 38 Posted September 21, 2011 I'm with Roxanne. I do not offer discounts. But for larger orders I will throw in a free decal, something that will match the theme of items they have purchased. Or if it is a custom order, like a business logo or I recently did a run of decals for a lupus fundraiser, I made some extras to give to the volunteers.

Rodger 527 Posted September 21, 2011 discount no .. freebies yes . I would give them a little extra & not give part of the order away . A personaized item in specialty vinyl would help promote more business . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neuromax 97 Posted September 22, 2011 I do like Roger, I don't give part of the order. I try to throw in something extra. I have gotten a lot of business by throwing in a tshirt with their logo on it. One of those shirts has gotten me orders for over 400 more of those shirts over the past 9 months. I have also done the same thing with license plates and koozies. Over half of what I give away I get orders for once they see that item. Its a great way to market yourself. It also makes for a happy customer weather they order more of that item or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
