Good Morning friends, it’s been awhile since we last shared on FB but thought the current tariff situation warranted an update
Subject to change of course, but it’s our current thinking, and feel free to share with friends and colleagues
Print and signage should be fine, but we don’t have to tell you a very large percentage of swag, and even apparel comes from China.
Inventory already here is tariff free, so we are recommending that you look out 3-6 months and if there are events and branded merch needs, we get those orders started now.
There is good stock in most things currently, but anything coming in from China after this week will be super expensive (double+) compared to current pricing, and apparently, they have started to turn ships around, so expect inventory disruptions.
We are working daily with our suppliers, compiling a tariff-free, US made list of alternatives, but there’s not nearly the depth and breadth of options, and that inventory will probably get hammered if this situation continues for any length of time.
Going to be bumpy, but we are here to help yall navigate these challenges. Happy to jump on a call to discuss further. We truly appreciate your trust in our team.
