How This Change Impacts Your BrightPoint Creative Orders
At BrightPoint Creative, we understand that staying relevant is crucial for your business. That’s why we are sensitive to the changes in trade policies right now and how they can significantly impact you, our client. We are committed to keeping you informed about the latest developments and how they may affect your orders.
Recently, new tariffs on international goods have been implemented, and we want to provide you with a complete overview of how these changes could influence your projects with BrightPoint. There's no need to worry, we’ve been closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to guide you through the potential challenges and opportunities that may arise from these tariffs. This post will highlight how these tariffs affect you, and how you can effectively manage your orders.
The Impact of New Tariffs on BrightPoint Creative Services
The effect of the recent tariffs imposed on goods from global sources include a wide range of products, many are commonly used in the production of branding services and corporate merchandise. Unfortunately, this means that the cost of raw materials and finished goods used at BrightPoint to produce your projects like customized apparel, may increase. That being said, at BrightPoint, we have been providing you with the same exceptional pricing since 2013 and we do not anticipate pricing adjustments due to the effect of these tariffs.
Here are some ways these tariffs could directly impact our services:
Increased Material Costs – We get many of our base products from outside the U.S. This includes fabrics, plastics, metals, and electronic components. We intend to absorb as much of this impact as possible.
Lead Time Variability – Tariffs could also lead to disruptions in our supply chain, which could affect lead times. We are working closely with our suppliers to minimize any delays and guarantee the timely delivery of your products.
Specific Service Changes – Services such as screen printing for corporate branding, heat transfer printing, digital printing for promotional items, dye sublimation, and laser engraving on corporate gifts may see an adjustment depending on the materials used in those processes.
We understand that these changes can be tricky to navigate, but here at BrightPoint Creative we are committed to providing you with the same outstanding service and value that you’ve come to expect from us. We are working hard to find new approaches to ease the impact of these tariffs.
Expanding our supplier network, optimizing our production process, offering alternative and cost-effective options, and focusing on domestic sourcing when available, to name a few.
Ways You Can Manage Your Bright Point Creative Experience
While we are adjusting to the new changes, we want our service to demonstrate how important working with you is to us, and how you can help:
Plan Ahead- Place your orders as soon as possible. This will help us to secure materials and start on your projects before potential price increases take effect.
Consider Other Product Options- We have a wide range of products for you to explore, many of which may be less affected by the tariffs.
Communicate Your Needs- Open communication about your project timelines and budget considerations can help us work together to find the best solutions for your needs.
Take Inventory- Review your current branded merchandised stock and identify any items that you may need to order soon.
Explore Domestic Options- We currently have suppliers that are local, and we would be happy to provide tariff-free options for your projects.
