Cotton Prices Skyrocketing, IBD limits the Damage

Since March, IBD’s suppliers have warned of a tsunami about to hit the world of blank T-shirts.  Cotton prices have gone up dramatically over the past year, and the majority of our suppliers have decided that September 1st would be D-Day for price increases, some as much as 35-40%.  The T-shirt is the #1 promotional item in today’s marketplace and this increase will surely affect a lot of people.

Luckily for you, IBD locked in our rates before September 1st for a predetermined amount of time. This means your T-shirt pricing will not be dramatically different from that of last year. There will be some price increases, but because of our success in forecasting, these increases will be much less dramatic than they could have been.

Your marketing budget is important, especially on the #1 premium item in our marketplace, and we will continue to do everything in our power to deliver those items to you at the most competitive prices in our industry.  We make it our business to truly look out for you.

Feel free to call or email us for a free industry newsletter and we can explain, in detail, exactly what’s going on with cotton pricing. And remember, IBD will always be your lowest priced vendor for T-shirts.
