Sound familiar?

Most merchandise problems aren't about the merchandise.

They’re about time, coordination and follow-through. That’s the part VMS takes off your desk.

The search

"I've spent hours in catalogs and still don't know what to order."

Tell us the audience, the occasion and the budget. We come back with a curated short list for your exclusive review—not a link to a website.

The logistics

"I need 300 jackets to land at 12 locations before the season starts."

Sizing, decoration, kitting and delivery to every address are handled as one job, with one person tracking it.

The repeat

"Every new hire and every event turns into a new scramble."

A company store or a stocked program turns the scramble into a routine your team can run without you.

Core services

Put your brand to work.

Use one, or combine them into a program. Every service comes with the same dedicated support.

Behind every order

The work you never have to think about.

A great product is the visible part. These five operations are why it arrives on time, looks right and doesn’t become your second job.

Sourcing & research

Vetted partners here and abroad, well beyond any catalogs. If we can’t find it, we can often make it custom for you.

Design & proofs

An in-house graphics team creates or cleans up your artwork. You approve an electronic proof before anything is produced.

Inventory & storage

VMS can support merchandise storage, packing and shipping so your team has less to manage.

Kitting & assembly

Multiple items become one branded package, packed the way you’d pack them.

Fulfillment & distribution

One address or a hundred, one region or nationwide, on dates confirmed before anything ships.

Built for the way you work

Common programs we run.

Start with one need; most clients end up with a program that covers several.

New hire onboarding

Welcome kits that arrive before day one—apparel, notebook, drinkware, a note—kitted and shipped to the new hire’s door.

Good to know

Questions we hear on the first call.

We have access to thousands of products and apparel items—but we’d rather do the browsing for you. Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll curate a custom group of items for your exclusive review. If you prefer to look yourself, the product search is always available.

Yes. Unless it’s an exact reorder, you always see a proof of your logo before we proceed.

Yes. Our in-house graphics team can create your design or logo and bring your idea to life. Some additional creative fees may apply.

Product minimums vary. Less-than-minimum orders are available on a case-by-case basis, and large-quantity orders may qualify for deeper discounts. Ask your Account Executive.

VMS has access to hundreds of thousands of promotional products with worldwide sourcing capabilities. We can locate items not shown online and create custom products.

Ideally we need vector art, typically EPS or .AI file, but send us what you have and we’ll see what we can work with.
