Start with a per-recipient figure
A product price and a complete delivered gift budget are different figures. Decide whether your amount must cover the garment or item only, or the full presentation with branding and delivery. Plastic Promotional Ball Pens offer a different starting point from Business Gift Sets, and both can be useful when chosen for the intended audience.
Compare real catalogue examples
The current catalogue lists the Vortex Ballpoint Pen from R4.92, the Query Notebook & Pen Set from R73.61, the Carson Notebook & Pen Set from R119.99 and the Cullen Gift Set from R199.23, with VAT included in these listed prices. These are individual product examples rather than a guaranteed package offer. Confirm current pricing and availability in the quotation.
Allow for the rest of the brief
Artwork setup, decoration, gift packaging, packing and delivery may add to the product amount. Ask for those elements to be visible in the written quotation. Corporate Gift Packaging can support presentation planning, but choose the dimensions and contents first. A lower product price is not automatically a lower comparable delivered total.
Use a shortlist to compare options
Save alternatives in the RFQ and state whether you want all of them or a comparison. Include the recipient count, desired quantity, branding and delivery area. Avoid approving a substitute on colour or price alone: check material, size and supplied contents. The final selection should be confirmed in writing before production.
