Printfection

Printfection is a solid choice for offsite swag management. The subscription and additional fees for inventory do add up and a lot of the items they offer can be found through other vendors at cheaper prices. Things take time with Printfection. We started using them via referral from another company in our industry and are happy-ish with their services. The positives are that we don't have to store our swag in house or manage the shipping/distribution of it. In my opinion, their UI is not good and there are a lot of steps involved in things like archiving an item. They have to manually set up swag kits and the platform requires training on the campaign types. The biggest frustration is the amount of time it takes to make changes in your account and the learning curve around their services. For example, our first order, I didn't know you could request a pre-production sample, so our order was printed and looked nothing like the mock up in our account. The logo was very oversized on the actual prints whereas it looked great in the mock up online. Requesting that pre-production sample could have alleviated that but I wasn't aware it was even an option. Plus, it extends the time frame in which your full order will be produced.

We use Printfection to design, store and distribute all swag to our students and staff: ~2,000 students graduate from our programs each year and each is offered a swag link upon graduation We hire ~200 new employees each year, and each receives a swag link in their onboarding email We send end-of-year gifts to our ~230 employees, which sometimes includes swag links

Printfection is where we source all of our swag for events, employees, customers, and prospects.

I use Printfection for my customer marketing as a way to gift to customers who have marketed with us. It's used as a reward but not necessarily an incentive because the customers don't know that they will get the gift at the end. However, if they market with us, we like to give them a donation as a thank you.

We were looking for a swag platform with quality items, fast turnarounf times and great customer service. We use Printfection for their Giveaway Campaign to send out to employees as a thank you for being here as we make organizational changes.
