How Your Pride Order Gets Made
XtremePride.com helps you pick. PromotionBeads.com quotes, proofs and produces. Here is what a smooth order looks like for a community group.
Steps for organizers
- Agree on the design inside your group. Settle the logo, the message and the colors before anyone requests a quote, so the proof only needs one round.
- List the items and quantities. Note each catalog product you liked, plus T-shirt and sweatshirt sizes if apparel is part of the order.
- Ask PromotionBeads.com for a quote. Use its contact page or call (877) 723-2348. Every job is quoted individually.
- Approve the proof and receive the order. Production starts after approval. PromotionBeads publishes that most domestic custom orders are made in 14 days or less, and it ships to all 50 states.
Budget tips for nonprofits
Combining items into one order keeps setup simple, and a single design across several products avoids extra proofs. If a sponsor is covering part of the cost, ask whether their logo can share the design so the order serves both of you.
Questions from Pride organizers
What artwork file does our group need to send?
Send your group's logo or flag design as a vector file, either .AI, .EPS or .PDF, with every word converted to outlines. A photograph is accepted as a JPG or JPEG of 200 dpi or more. Those are the formats the PromotionBeads.com art department lists.
Is there a charge to set up our design?
There is no additional setup cost when the artwork arrives in the listed formats, since the in-house art department prepares it. Other formats can add setup time and cost, which matters on a nonprofit budget, so ask your designer for the vector file.
What is the smallest order we can place?
PromotionBeads.com describes its minimums as low quantities. Ask for the exact minimum on each item when you request your quote, especially if the order mixes beads, shirts and fans.
How does payment work for a community group?
PromotionBeads.com accepts credit cards and prices every order in U.S. dollars. Each order is quoted in writing, which helps when a board or a sponsor has to approve the spending first.
