We started this checklist last week to provide vital information to marketers looking to purchase promotional power banks as part of their marketing mix.
For readers that I’ve not followed the previous 4 pointers in our checklist please notice the links below:-
The last checklist when purchasing portable chargers is:-
5 - HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
How long it takes is a critical question to be considered in order adapt your decision making process to the timeline. We deal with many companies with
varying decision making layers and process and our advice to all of our clients when purchasing printed portable chargers are the same – please give us at
least 14 days to definitely guarantee your event’s branded power banks. We have recently
dug a customer out of a hole after they were disappointed by another supplier
. Without badmouthing any supplier, we were in a better position to help and deliver in 8 days ONLY because we keep a massive
amount of materials in stock.
We offer a 10-14 day standard delivery on all of our portable chargers. Notice below some factors that can increase the turnaround times.
Logo printing that requires a full colour process print. The GML power bank charger example below necessitates more
printing and drying process time.
Printing on the packaging as described above.
Custom power bank portable chargers
that are made from scratch – notice the BP blog and our custom power bank review
Freight issues with shipping in lithium batteries – Notice this article
We wrote this the “MP3 freight factors article” in 2010. In 2013,
crash investigators did trace the UPS plane fire to lithium batteries
. Since the crash, there have been new guidelines in place to regulate the amount of lithium batters in any air freight.
As the power bank portable chargers are basically lithium ion batteries, it is possible that freight timeline might delay materials and hence, your order.
With that said, with the Insuralex power bank commission, the order was
delivered in 8 days. As mentioned above, to avoid the rushing around - we advise our clients to please allow 14 days between the
time of the event and the time the order is placed.
We do hope this top 5 checklist has been really helpful. If you require any help with your upcoming project or a general question re any of the portable
