As fall sets in, it’s easy to overlook that winter is just around the corner. Now is the perfect time to plan for your winter gear! If you’re thinking about ordering promotional winter apparel for your business, organization, or event, acting now will save you stress and ensure you get exactly what you need.
Winter gear, especially popular items like hats, hoodies, and jackets, are always in high demand, and as temperatures drop, that demand only increases. Waiting until winter to place your orders can mean missing out on prime inventory, as these items tend to sell out fast. Here at Big Spirit, Inc., we’ve seen it happen too many times—businesses and organizations that wait too long and are left scrambling when stocks run low. But there’s a straightforward solution: beat the rush and start your order this fall.
Why Order in Fall?
The best time to order your winter gear is before the first frost. Here’s why:
- Inventory Availability: As the cooler months approach, retailers and suppliers experience a surge in demand for winter items like beanies, gloves, mittens, scarves, jackets, hoodies, and coats. By ordering early, you avoid the possibility of these items selling out before you get your chance to secure them. Plus, you’ll have more options in terms of style, color, and sizing when you place your order ahead of time.
- Customization Time: If you’re ordering custom promotional items, you’ll need to allow time for production. Whether you’re embroidering your logo on a zip-up hoodie or screen-printing a message on a cozy beanie, getting your branding just right takes time. Starting the process now gives you the peace of mind that everything will be ready long before winter hits.
- Avoid the Holiday Rush: Everyone is ordering winter apparel during the holidays, making it the busiest time for suppliers and manufacturers. This can lead to longer wait times, limited options, and even delayed shipments. Ordering in the autumn helps you avoid the seasonal bottleneck and ensures that your items arrive well before you need them.
- Better Pricing: Waiting to order your seasonal gear may mean you need to pay a rush fee to get your products on time. Avoid the extra fees and stretch your marketing dollars by ordering early.
Popular Winter Gear to Consider
Here are some of the most in-demand winter promotional items you should consider for your order:
- Beanies and Knit Hats: A classic winter staple, perfect for promoting your brand while keeping clients and employees warm.
- Scarves: Add a touch of warmth and style with branded scarves, a favorite for layering during colder months.
- Gloves and Mittens: Essential for staying warm, these items are often overlooked until the cold hits, making them highly sought after.
- Hoodies (Zip-Up or Pull-Over): Hoodies are universally loved and offer the perfect canvas for your logo or design. Choose from a variety of styles and materials.
- Jackets and Coats: From lightweight options for fall to insulated coats for deep winter, jackets are always a hit.
- Socks: Everyone loves a cozy pair of socks. Branded winter socks are a fun and practical option for giveaways or employee appreciation gifts.
