Let’s Get Real About Rush Orders

If you’re planning an event and suddenly realize you need branded games in less than two weeks, you’re not alone. Whether it’s a surprise activation, a client request that popped up out of nowhere, or simply a logistical misstep — we’ve seen it all.

Here’s the good news: Promotoss is built for agility. We’ve fine-tuned our production process to accommodate fast-paced marketing environments without compromising quality. But speed comes with strategy — and this post will help you understand what’s possible, how we prioritize, and what to do if you’re in a pinch.

What Can We Actually Do Fast?

We’ve built our workflow around promotional professionals just like you — people who sometimes need amazing results, yesterday. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• Orders of 1-4 units – These can typically ship in 5 business days. Think Topple Towers, Hook & Ring games, or even a Surfboard Tiki Toss.
• Orders of 5-24 units – Give us around 7 business days. This is still well within the “fast” category and includes items like freestanding mini hoops or branded limbo sets.

Need it faster? We strongly encourage you to call us directly. Every day we work miracles — with the right information and a motivated team, we can often do what others can’t.

How We Prioritize Rush Orders

There’s no magic wand here — just a highly responsive team of production coordinators, designers, and logistics experts. Here’s what happens behind the scenes:

• Hands-on attention from start to finish. We assign a dedicated rep who coordinates everything, ensuring your order never gets lost in the shuffle.
• Free mockups and fast proofing. No setup fees. No hidden charges. We get you a visual ASAP — all we need is your logo.
• Prioritized production. We shift schedules to accommodate your deadline without compromising the quality we’re known for.
• No-charge drop shipping. Need items to ship to multiple event sites? We’ve got you covered.

What’s Realistically Off the Table?

While we love a challenge, we’ll always be honest. Large volume orders (100+ units) or projects requiring highly custom builds or overseas components — like light-up Drop to Win games or can-shaped cornhole — need more lead time.

If your order falls into this category, contact us anyway. We might be able to fulfill a partial shipment, offer in-stock alternatives, or split ship to get you through the event.

Think Creatively: Game Ideas That Work Fast

Don’t underestimate what a single game activation can do. Here are some promotional wins we’ve seen happen on a tight timeline:

• Mini Hoops + Sales Team: Drop a branded mini hoop on every rep’s office wall and tie it to an internal competition. Result? Energy and engagement off the charts.
• Painted Topple Tower at Retail: One unit, fully branded, front and center at a store display can serve as a game + attention grabber + product explainer.
• Hook & Ring Game Giveaway: Mail out 10 of these compact games to key accounts. Watch what happens next.

Use Our Tools to Move Fast

We’ve built the backend so you can focus on making the sale:

• Download sales flyers to share options quickly.
• Grab product templates and branding instructions.
• Submit your logo or PO — the same form handles everything.

Need to pitch a branded cornhole set? Pickleball gear? Putting mat? Let’s make it happen, even if you’re up against the clock.
