I've been on a roller coaster of love with the idea of having personalized plastic beer steins as part of our OOT bag goodies. I couldn't find any website that would allow me to buy less than 150 of them. So I put my networking skills to use and remembered that we have a vendor at work that has created t-shirts, mugs, memory sticks for us with our logo. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask them if they can help me make this dream come true.
Our rep called me within a matter of minutes of me sending him an e-mail. He was really pleased with the request and mentioned some company have an "under minimum" fee and would get back to me with some answers in a day or two. My heart soared after that conversation!
Until I got an answer back and I'm not sure what to do....yet again! They have a company that can do a minimum of 50 (I need about 30) for $5.54 each. Do the math and that's $277 for one item in my OOT bag. I'm torn because honestly that's a lot for one single piece of plastic! Yet it's what I want and we have the money.
I need help people, what are your thoughts????

If it were me I'd probably do these glass ones from Dollar Tree: http://www.dollartree.com/kitchen-tableware/drinkware/Glass-Beer-Mug/213c264c264p302817/index.pro
ReplyDeleteThen you can personalize them either with rub-on transfers or etching glass and it'd come out to a lot less than $5.50 each and they'd probably last longer!
I definitely don't think $5.50/piece for an OOT bag item is necessary, especially if it's plastic -- I love LauraLou's idea and also, have you looked into doing something nicer than plastic, ie stainless? I think you'd be surprised at how you could probably pay the same thing for a nice metal version that people would definitely keep for very close to $6/mug -- and if a beer mug is important to you, then that's the route I'd take! Happy hunting!

Trying to be helpful! Hope so, anyway :)
Oh my gosh, you guys rock! I'm going to check out your ideas now! @wahoo wedding - the only reason I was thinking plastic was because they could take these mugs in the pool to the swim up bar since the cups they give you are tiny dixy cups.
ReplyDeleteI will keep you posted!! Again you guys rock and I really appreciate it!!!
Ohhh...plastic beer mugs at the pool. Now I really love it :)
