Searching for products is easy. Our product search consists of 4 search options that can be
used separately or in combination with each other. Those search options
are:
Product Category
Wordsearch
Price Range
Production Time
When searching for products, you will have more success if you only use
the most important search options, and leave the others at their default
settings. Do not feel as though you need to select something for each
option. For example, if you need letter openers for $1.00 or under, you
will get more products to choose from by selecting a category and price
range, without using the other search criteria. Being too specific might
rule out items that would work perfectly for your promotion, but their
description varies slightly from what you are currently have in mind.
Choosing a Product Category
To choose a product category, think of the most basic element of the
product that you require. For example, if you are looking for a green
ceramic coffee mug, the word "mug" would be the product itself,
and the words "green", "ceramic", and
"coffee" are words used to describe the mug. Once you determine
what this basic element is, scroll down our list of pre-selected
categories until you find one that matches. If you scroll down the
category list, you will see the category "mugs and steins",
which you can then select by highlighting it with your cursor. Sometimes
you will be looking for an item, but you can’t find it in our
category listing. If this happens, consider other words that might be used
to mean the same thing as the product you require. For example, another
word for a hat is a cap. When I scroll down the categories I do not see
the word "hat", but if I check under caps I find "caps and
hats". I can then select the "caps & hats" category to
do the search that I need. If you continue to have difficulty choosing a
category, just leave the product category box at its default setting of
"all" and try searching by keyword. See below for some quick
category tips:

Wordsearch
The keyword search can be used on its own, or together with any other
of our search options. You can specify the adjectives that describe the
object that you need in the box, then use the pulldown box to the right to
specify how the search should handle those words. This pulldown box lists
the options "exact phrase", "all words", and "any
words". The "exact phrase" selection will search only for
items that include your keywords exactly in the order in which they’ve
been entered in the box. "All words" would look for items whose
descriptions include all the words that have been entered, but those words
can appear in any order. Finally, the "any words" selection will
search for matches that have at least one word that you’ve typed in the
keyword search box. See the following table for some comparison searches:

By Price Range
Use our pre-selected price ranges to find items that fit in your
budget. Since exact pricing is based on the quantity you require, the type
of imprinting needed, shipping charges, and other factors, we will need
to confirm the final price after we receive your request.
By Production Time
Do you need your products in a hurry? You can narrow down your search
by ruling out suppliers that cannot meet your deadline. Production time is
listed in days.

Once you click the "Search" button, the product lines that
carry the products you are looking for will be listed. Select the product
line you are interested in and review their product listing. To view the
