As mentioned, we’ve been the go-to source for branded gifts for decades, and we know that -- at times -- companies and organizations skip out on ordering trade show swag. But why? silly cartoon squirrel

  1. The "Squirrel!" Syndrome: Shiny new projects and distractions pop up like squirrels at a picnic, causing trade show swag to be completely forgotten.
  2. The "Budget Gremlins" Attack: Mischievous budget gremlins sneak in and devour the marketing funds, leaving nothing but crumbs for trade show goodies.
  3. The "Intern's Trial by Fire" Saga: The poor intern, armed with only a vague email and a prayer, bravely attempts to navigate the treacherous waters of swag ordering.
  4. The "Design-Off" Showdown: Marketing and sales teams engage in an epic battle of wills over the perfect design, resulting in a stalemate and no swag.
  5. The "Email Bermuda Triangle" Phenomenon: Order confirmations vanish without a trace, leaving everyone scratching their heads and wondering if they actually ordered anything.
  6. The "Vacation Brain" Epidemic: The person responsible for ordering swag is blissfully unaware of the impending trade show, lost in a tropical paradise with zero cell service.
  7. The "Time Warp" Glitch: The trade show date mysteriously jumps forward on the calendar, leaving everyone scrambling to catch up.
  8. The "Ostrich Strategy" Backfires: Burying heads in the sand and hoping the trade show will magically disappear doesn't work (unfortunately).
  9. The "Vendor Ghosting" Incident: The chosen vendor suddenly goes MIA, leaving you high and dry with no swag in sight.
  10. The "We're Too Cool for School" Mentality: A misguided belief that trade show swag is outdated and unnecessary (spoiler alert: it's not).
