Picture this: One of your long-time clients is heading to an upcoming conference and needs some unique, out-of-the-box promo products to help stand out while also following company brand guidelines. You realize this project is more of a heavy lift than expected, requiring overseas sourcing, decorating, and logistics. If this story sounds familiar to you, you’re in luck.
PCNA has launched BEYOND by PCNA, their new outsourcing program that makes creating, customizing, and discovering new product solutions easier beyond their own assortment.
“PCNA is managing essentially the sourcing, logistics, shipping, and tracking of your BEYOND order and assumes ownership until it is received by the customer or in our warehouse,” said Madie Mihalopoulos, Senior Category Manager for PCNA.
So how does BEYOND work? The platform is built on three different shops designed to meet your clients’ wants and needs.
CreateShop
The CreateShop provides budget-friendly customized items in an instant. This shop is focused on speed, transparency, and creativity for its curated assortment of products. All products are priced on a C-Pricing schedule and include decoration, set up, and expedited freight all in production in 30 days or less. Along with the transparent unit price, PCNA will also include some common upgrades on the price chart to further enhance your clients’ order including adding rounded corners to certain totes to the types of lids for water bottles.
CustomizeShop
The next shop is the core of PCNA’s direct import business. CustomizeShop allows you to work directly with their BEYOND team to customize your favorite PCNA product. The only requirement is the order value must be at least $5,000. Right now, the CustomizeShop only covers bags, drinkware, pens, stationary, outdoor items, and blankets.
To access CustomizeShop, you’ll head to the BEYOND landing page and browse their selection of products. On the product page, there’s an easy-to-use chart where you can check off the customization and modifications your client wants. Once you add in additional information, your quote is sent to the BEYOND team and they will follow up with you on a quote and prep additional assets if necessary.
DiscoverShop
The third shop in BEYOND’s arsenal brings a wider range of retail options right at your fingertips. The DiscoverShop allows you to discover additional colors and styles from name-brand retailers including Mophie, Skullcandy, and more. Decoration and first location run charges are all included in the transparent unit price. DiscoverShop is also not limited to its selection of brands since the BEYOND team works directly with their brand partners to bring these items to you and your clients.
Why should you consider BEYOND by PCNA?
BEYOND by PCNA is here to help alleviate all your sourcing and direct import needs with customized solutions that meet unique branding needs with support every step of the way. Having direct contact with the BEYOND team will help you create fully custom options that meet your clients' needs.
