How to Increase Sales with Wholesale Political Signs and Products

Case Study

Wholesale Political Signs and Printed Products

Wholesale Political Signs Case Study

Each political year brings multiple sales opportunities. Whether your client is running for the local school board or pursuing a congressional bid, providing the right mix of political signage and products can mean huge profits for resellers.

Below is a case study that highlights how Barbara, one of our most successful resellers, sold a wide variety of wholesale political signs and products by partnering with Stouse.

Here’s what happened.

The Challenge

Two customers requiring political products for their upcoming campaigns contacted Barbara, an experienced Stouse reseller. Both customers had different campaign activities that needed printed products throughout the year. From political rallies and door-to-door canvassing to summer parades and town hall meetings, each candidate had different promotional needs.

 

Customer 1 – Steve H.

Steve, a former teacher, was running for the local school board. He needed multiple printed products to promote his first public run for office. Steve contacted Barbara to order the political products needed for the campaign. The two met to discuss the various events and activities scheduled for the campaign. Once Barbara had a full understanding of the project, she contacted Stouse.

We recommended multiple political signage options including political Yard Signs and Frames, Bumper Stickers, and Magnetic Signs. In addition, we suggested large Banners to display in the campaign office and during important political events. We added Rally Posters to the list allowing enthusiasts to show their support before, during, and after events.

We provided several samples to Barbara and she scheduled a follow-up meeting with Steve. After reviewing the product options Barbara suggested, Steve went on to place orders for several printed products including more than 500 wholesale political signs.

 

Customer 2 – Linda R.

Linda, a successful businessperson, was making a bid for Congress. She requested durable Wide Format Corrugated Signs to place along highway routes. She also wanted political Yard Signs, Banners, and Bumper Stickers to support her campaign goals.

After speaking with Linda, Barbara learned that she planned a door-to-door grassroots campaign supported by hundreds of young volunteers. Again, Barbara contacted Stouse. We recommended printing Door Knob Hangers with information highlighting her platform to leave behind while canvassing each neighborhood.

We also recommended Rally Fans to use as political campaign handouts during various events. Linda loved the idea. She placed orders with Barbara to promote her campaign quickly and efficiently. Linda moved money from her political mailings budget to her political signage budget to increase her order quantities.

Wholesale Political Signs and Lapel Labels

The Solution

1. Provide Samples

To help Linda and Steve expand their options, Barbara ordered a roll of 500 2.5” diameter Lapel Labels for them to consider using in their campaigns. Lapel Labels are much more affordable than political campaign buttons that were typically purchased by political candidates.

Linda immediately saw the potential of the Lapel Labels. She ordered 10,000 two-color, Lapel Labels for her campaign and canceled her order of political campaign buttons. Her volunteers used them as political campaign handouts during election meetings, outdoor rallies, and other events. Linda’s campaign continued to grow.

 

2. Upsell More Products

To help Barbara upsell more products, we suggested our Water Bottle Labels for political rallies and parades. These roll labels are printed on a synthetic BOPP material that will stand up to cold temperatures and abrasion if in a cooler of ice. Barbara successfully sold these durable bottle labels to both customers increasing her overall profits. Learn more about our Water Bottle Labels here. 

 

3. Place Repeat Orders Easily

After winning their preliminary races, both clients placed a reorder. Barbara contacted Stouse once again. After a brief discussion about turn times, Barbara was able to easily place reorders of each product online in just a few easy clicks.

Once both orders were printed, we packaged them in house, and then blind shipped the products to multiple locations.  Barbara was able to meet her monthly sales goals, improving the overall profits for her business.

The Results

By partnering with Stouse, Barbara was able to recommend the right product solutions, positioning both customers for the win! Barbara continued to support both candidates with reorders throughout their campaigns.

After receiving multiple referrals, Barbara positioned herself as an expert in election promotions, becoming a political consultant to numerous political candidates. She increased her bottom line by selling a variety of political products to customers nationwide.

The Importance of Grass Roots Political Campaigns

Despite the increase in campaign spending, results prove that a strong “ground game” is critical for campaign success. Many candidates will focus on TV ads, radio, and digital marketing and miss out on the advantages of face-to-face campaign promotions.

Successful political campaigns include a grass roots strategy that builds personal relationships with voters one-on-one. Grass roots campaigns build momentum and the right political campaign handouts, signage, and tools will help support any grass roots effort.

Below are a few printed products that support various political campaign tactics:
