Recent shifts in global trade policy are once again impacting product pricing for consumers and businesses across the U.S. As tariffs and sourcing challenges evolve, costs on imported goods—from China, Europe, and other regions—are expected to rise.
While it’s difficult to predict exactly when price changes will take effect, it’s clear that adjustments are coming—and likely sooner rather than later.
The Promo Industry Is Navigating This Together
Whether working with Select Sales or another distributor, businesses across the promotional products industry are facing similar challenges. As manufacturers respond to tariff-related pressures, cost increases on many popular hard goods are inevitable.
It’s a period of uncertainty, and price points may not return to previous levels anytime soon. Still, there are proactive strategies available.
Practical Solutions Are Available
There are always options, even in uncertain times.
One smart step many brands are taking is shifting to U.S.-made promotional products. Select Sales offers a wide variety of Made in the U.S.A. items through trusted domestic manufacturing partners.
To get the most out of any branded campaign, it’s essential to define goals and budget upfront. With that clarity, it becomes much easier to identify creative and cost-effective promotional solutions.
