The products on 4 Over and Navitor are YOUR pricing, NOT customer pricing, so you will need to mark it up before quoting your customer. You can decide what your mark up should be, but typically you can mark up 40-50% depending on the product. You need to make sure you make enough margin for the work you put into it. For example: 1,000 standard business cards are only around $10 on 4 Over, but I charge my customer $100 plus tax and shipping. I also add 20% up charge to my customer for shipping. Profiting about $90-$100 for a very simple order.
Yes. You will need to get an LLC if you don’t already have one, before you apply for your Resale Certificate. If you already have an LLC for a broad company that you Swag Promotional Marketing would also fit under, then no need to get a brand new LLC, just use the one you already have for this as well.
Yes. You can link the products to your website. Please call or email your ASI Account Manager and they can help link it up for you. This would still go under the “Standard” Package. The “Basic” Package only allows you to have access to Suppliers and their products, but doesn’t allow you to link up those products on your website.
This is a preference. I show you both ways to do this in the training. However, I personally prefer Quickbooks, because it’s easily trackable for taxes, keeping book keeping clean and up to date, and I think easier (after you input all the product and customer information.
No, there are no fees to join either 4 Over and/or Navitor! You only need to fill out your information they request to become a member and have access.
It is the clients responsibility to provide the logo to you for any promotional products they want. However, if they don’t already have an established logo, then you could offer that as a separate service with a set design fee. PDF is the best type of file to receive for a logo from you customer (Not Jpeg or PNG). Some vendors will request VECTOR artwork.
No, unfortunately not. However, you can communicate to your customers that you can provide great quality business cards, brochures, flyers, and many more paper products that they need. Let your customers know!
Trade.4over.com is their “old” site, but has everything you need unless you want direct mailing, then use 4over.com
If my customer wants quotes for 100, 200, etc. but ESP shows 72, 144, 288 etc how do I know price? Write a description for this list item and include information that will interest site visitors. For example, you may want to describe a team member's experience, what makes a product special, or a unique service that you offer.
Item Link40% is typical mark up, but you can ultimately decide. You can also request what your customer is currently paying so you can try and beat or match it. If they don’t tell you, then you can mark up 40-50%, depending on how big the job is. If the job is small QTY, and low price, I would mark up more so your work is worth while. Business cards I do low margin because it gets me in the door (500 Business Cards = $60, 1k Business Cards = $100).
