How to Sell Custom Mugs to Businesses

You can greatly enhance your own sales as well as the sales of your school fundraising organization by convincing local businesses to order custom business mugs to help advertise their business in mass quantities (minimum order is 50 or more for any one business). In order for us to design a custom business mug for a local business, you must follow the subsequent steps:

1. Obtain a business card along with a black and white, photo-ready (laser-quality) business name and business logo on a clean sheet of paper. Tell the business contact person that the mug’s artwork design will be identical to what is on this sheet (no manual drawings or sketches allowed). They can select any 2 colors from the following selection (Make sure the 2 color choices are written down on the sheet):

                     Colors                      
Black Hunter Green Magenta 
White
Metallic
Purple Green Maroon Teal Silver
Navy Blue Goldenrod Red Grey Gold
Royal Blue Gold Pink    
Sky Blue Yellow Flesh    
Powder Blue           Orange Brown    

2. Staple the sheet and the business card to the back of your order form as you are turning in your order form to your fundraising sponsor

3. Each business must purchase a minimum of 50 business mugs at the same price that is in your brochure (Obtain a check with their order payable to your organization)

4. Make sure they also include a $50.00 processing fee for setting up the artwork design and template in their total payment amount

5. Fill in the order form as follows:

CUSTOMER NAME PHONE NUMBER   ITEM #   QTY.   DESCRIPTION  PRICE Ea. TAX TOTAL
John Doe 123-555-1212 Bus. 50 Business Mug
(See Attached)
$10.00   $500.00

The advantages:

  • Businesses often buy marketing and promotional materials in mass quantity so they are use to ordering a lot at one time
  • You get a big order while only having to approach one potential customer
  • You move up to the bigger and better prize levels instantaneously
  • You raise significantly more money for yourself and your organization

Business will receive artwork proof form that must be signed by the business and faxed back to 402-779-2301 prior to mugs being printed. Mugs will be shipped direct to business along with a receipt for their records. Tax may be applicable in some states.
