What are some of the important indicators a customer can look for when shopping for a silicone band provider?
Quality products of course are at the top of this list but what does that mean. Today’s rubber bracelet websites have a variety of options to choose from such as debossed, embossed and screen printed. Debossing is a manufacturing process unlike laser engraving. Each order has a specific mold made with the message IN THAT MOLD. Laser engraved silicone bracelets are blank bands that are engraved with a machine. This is the difference between debossed and laser engraving which some companies claim as debossing. Laser engraved bracelets are not as deep set, they don’t have the clean lines of debossing. Be aware of the difference and make sure that you are getting debossed bands. Some hints, charging for back messages or long front messages, stock colors, quick turn arounds and sometimes american made. This is a tricky one because companies engrave them here even though they are getting the blank bands Second, every customer should trust an internet company. We are surrounded by fraud and internet thefts but when you order from a company every thing they do should be honest and forthright. Fake sales, american made, promises and more are all tactics used by many silicone bracelet companies that are not honest.
There are companies out there that have been advertising 80% off sale ends today, there is even a count down clock…truthfully, that sale has been going on for months. And the low price is a base price.
Add in things that counts as standard such as unlimited message space on the front and back, clip art even free artwork*, and shipping in 1-2 business days and suddenly you’re looking at close to $130 for 100 custom silicone bracelets!
Is that other company honest about deadlines? If we can’t make a deadline we won’t make empty promises. We’ve had many customers come to us after another company promised to get silicone bracelets to them by their deadline only to come up empty. We’ve also had people tell us that reasonable deadlines were not acceptable, perhaps because the size of the order wasn’t large enough?
Customer Service is often overlooked by many internet companies. built their business on customer service above all. Because we have thousands of other products we are a one stop shop but also we can’t afford to treat customers badly. We make sure that we treat every customer with the respect and courtesy with which we would like to be treated. Customer service in this virtual world is a dying art but we have retail and customer service backgrounds and will not sacrifice exemplary customer service.
Finally, talk to the company. We have been told so frequently that other silicone wristbands companies don’t give them the good feeling that does, that our knowledge, compassion, and professionalism are above all the rest. At the end of the day, that is what makes One Source for All Your Promotional Needs and silicone bracelets are no exception. Do your homework. Don’t be fooled by fake silicone bracelet sales.
