As we move into August, we’re already gearing up for what’s certain to be a busy fourth quarter. We look forward to the opportunity to support your business and help you finish the year strong.
Big News
With gift season on the horizon, retail brands continue to be a significant trend. Our industry-leading 50+ retail brands represent every product category – from high-performance insulated drinkware to stylish, well-made apparel – with many of our brand partners achieving record sales this year. We continue to strengthen this impressive assortment with brands you and your customers have been asking for – which is why I’m so excited to share some big news:
Hydro Flask® is here, just in time for holiday gift season! A premier retail brand for insulated drinkware, we are so proud of this new partnership with a likeminded company that shares our commitment to environmental and social responsibility. Inventory will arrive in mid-September, and you can see the new products and find information about preordering now on our website, CFDFpromo.com.
Our preparation for holiday gift season also includes a heavy investment in deep inventory for all your favorite products – 600+ top-selling styles across every category, from drinkware, bags and stationery to tech, blankets and apparel.
A Partner You Can Count On
While market disruptions brought on by the pandemic have made forecasting more of a challenge, we’re prepared for strong demand during the next few months, taking steps to ensure we get your orders decorated perfectly and delivered on time.
- A 45+% increase in our embroidery capacity since the start of the year – on top of a 40% increase in 2021 – giving us unmatched ability to decorate and deliver holiday favorites like blankets, backpacks, totes, fleece and outerwear.
- Investment in our customer operations and production teams. We’ve made aggressive efforts to hire, train and retain talented team members to ensure we process, decorate and deliver your orders on time.
That said, we strongly encourage you to place year-end orders as early as possible. We’ll be monitoring operations capacity daily and communicating updates, including deadlines for 2022 orders, on CFDFpromo.
Fast. Easy. Convenient.
We understand how busy you are, particularly in the final months of the year. That’s why we’re continually adding convenient features to CFDFpromo.com, all designed to save you time and make your job easier.
