You’ve found the perfect promo product. The quote looks great. You’re excited to move forward… then the final invoice arrives, loaded with unexpected charges: setup fees, artwork adjustments, shipping surcharges, proofing costs. Sound familiar? This frustrating scenario of "hidden fees" is an all-too-common headache in promo purchasing, capable of derailing budgets and trust.

But at Spirit Factory, we believe your promotional product journey should be exciting and transparent. That's why we've built our service around a clear promise: all-inclusive pricing. But what does "all-inclusive" truly mean, and how does it save your business more than just money?

The nickel-and-dime nightmare: common hidden fees you might experience

Let's shine a light on the typical charges from other companies that can inflate an initial promotional product quote:

Setup fees: Often charged per color, per imprint location, or per specific print type (like embroidery digitization).
Artwork/digitization fees: Costs for converting your logo or design into a printable format.
Proofing fees: Additional charges for digital or physical proofs of your design.
Rush fees: The penalty for needing your order faster than standard turnaround times.
Shipping & freight surprises: These can be the biggest culprits, with unexpected costs for international freight, residential deliveries, or special handling.
Color matching fees: If you need a precise PMS color match for your brand.

All-inclusive pricing: The Spirit Factory advantage

At Spirit Factory, "all-inclusive pricing" means exactly what it sounds like: the price we quote is the final price you pay for the specified order. We believe in complete transparency and simplicity in budgeting.

Here’s what our all-inclusive pricing typically covers:

The product unit cost: The item itself.
Standard setup fees: For your logo or design.
Basic artwork assistance & cleanup: Our team ensures your files are print-ready.
Standard production time & process: No hidden charges for getting your order made.
Standard shipping to one location: We handle the freight logistics and include it in your upfront cost.
Digital proofing: To ensure everything looks perfect before production.
Dedicated account manager: Unwavering support guides you from initial concept to final delivery.

Our goal is to make your budgeting as straightforward as possible, eliminating those frustrating surprises.
