With President-elect Trump preparing to take office on January 20th, 2025, his administration’s promised tariffs on imported goods could significantly increase the cost of promotional products and apparel. Prices for items like branded T-shirts, tech accessories, and custom drinkware could rise by 15–25% or more, affecting marketing budgets nationwide.
Now is the time to plan ahead. By placing your promo orders early in the year, you can lock in today’s pricing and protect your 2024 marketing efforts.
What Are Trump’s Tariffs?
President-elect Trump’s campaign promise to protect domestic manufacturing is set to become a reality, with new tariffs targeting imported goods. According to a report from ASI Central, these tariffs could directly impact promotional products, which are often manufactured or sourced overseas.
Even products marketed as “Made in the USA” may not escape the price hike. Many of these items rely on imported materials that will also be subject to higher costs.
For businesses, this means:
- Higher Costs: Prices for promotional products and apparel could rise significantly.
- Budget Strains: Marketing dollars may not stretch as far, limiting options for impactful campaigns.
- Supply Chain Disruptions: Increased demand for domestic alternatives may lead to production delays.

Why You Need to Act Now
With tariffs likely to take effect soon after Trump’s inauguration on January 20th, 2025, the window to lock in current pricing is closing fast. Here’s why acting now matters:
✅ Save Money: Avoid higher costs by placing orders early in the year.
✅ Plan Ahead: Secure your promotional products for events, campaigns, and gifting needs.
✅ Avoid Delays: Get ahead of potential supply chain disruptions caused by shifting demand.
By acting now, you can ensure your brand’s promotional strategy stays on track, even as prices rise across the industry.
