Strategic Sourcing Guide to Electronic Promotional Items Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Promotion market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Electronic Promotional Items. Rising cost of workforce possessing core skill sets is expected to offset some of the cost savings that suppliers are expecting through implementation of lean and technology-based operations.

In recent years, the market has witnessed a significant number of strategic collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions. Such developments have enabled the suppliers to expand their portfolio of offerings, geographic presence, and value chain. Moreover, suppliers have also gained access to new technologies and resources.

In the broader industry, automated tools and advanced technology is making inroads and even replacing some of the non-core workforce of suppliers. As a result, overall cost structure of suppliers has become more favorable across the industry and buyers of Electronic Promotional Items can expect to benefit from lower costs of suppliers once they break even with their investments in technology.

Electronic Promotional Items Procurement Best Practices

Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Electronic Promotional Items procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Having dedicated on-site staff from the service provider is a highly recommended measure for reducing category lead time for buyers.

Buyers should engage with service providers that provide services through an hourly based pricing model. Within an hourly based pricing model, buyers would have a fair idea of the exact time required for the work done by service provider. Consequently, billing rates will be implemented accordingly.

Buyers should engage in long-term contracts with service providers to gain value additions and other benefits. Engaging in long-term contracts reduces the total cost of ownership, for buyers, for the service delivered.
