What to ask

Panelists at the Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show suggested retailers ask the following questions to their vendors about custom design:

• Do you offer in-house design services, or should I provide finished artwork?

  
  

• What is your standard design process? What are your policies on revisions?

  
  

• What customization options are available? How flexible are you with customization (colors, logos, characters, packaging)?

  
  

• Will this design be exclusive to my organization/gift shop?

  
  

• Can you help translate our brand story into product ideas that feel unique and memorable?

  
  

• What options are there for limited editions, seasonal products, or collector series?

  
  

• What are your packaging options?
