Ordering early gives you the best selection and helps avoid rush charges.
General guidelines include:
- Trade shows: 6–8 weeks before the event
- Holiday gifts: 8–10 weeks before distribution
- Company events: 4–6 weeks in advance
- Employee onboarding: Maintain inventory for new hires throughout the year
