UPDATES to PromoEQP Distributor Login Webpage

Yes… We have been listening AND working on this the whole time!

Login Embedded Update Page with Discount Code

So let’s cover the highpoints in the new website preparing to be introduced this month…

Embedded PromoEQP Monthly Update Page… Meaning that access to PromoEQP distributor information will no longer be potentially exposed online.
Simplified Login… Days of login problems are soon to be behind ALL of us.
Creating Team Member Logins… PromoEQP NEVER charges a fee for additional logins — which means that no one needs to share a login anymore.
Filter the list by PRICING POLICIES | COUNTRIES | CATEGORIES | SERVICES… Even better, it is formatted to be matched and expanded with YOUR choices of “favorites”.
EVENTS | SUPPORT | SERVICES embedded… The login page now does a better job of displaying PromoEQP’s activities and RECORDING PROBLEMS!!!
Simplified displaying of information… Making sure that a distributor can search and navigate for BENEFITS means making sure the information cleanly displays.
Embedded Supplier Updating… Allowing suppliers access to collect information needed — while being able to update information means a smoother process for all distributors.

It’s all very exciting… And coming in a matter of days!

Thanks again…

Insider Information

Why Trust and Purpose Outshine the Price Tag

In the promotional products world, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of catalogs and "lowest-price" guarantees. Most companies focus on moving volume—shipping boxes as fast as possible and moving on to the next.

At Hirsch, we’ve never been interested in that race to the bottom. As a family-owned business, we’ve spent years perfecting a different approach: one where quality, detail, and purpose take center stage.

A Small Company Heart with Big-Picture Vision

We still think of ourselves as a small company at heart. That isn’t about our reach—it’s about our accountability. It means nothing is too small for us to take seriously, and "going the extra mile" isn’t a marketing slogan; it’s our baseline.

While others are content just selling a product, we are obsessed with the art of the delivery. We pair the world’s highest quality brands with the industry’s best decoration options, ensuring that when your logo meets a product, the result is nothing short of "unmatched."

Impact Beyond the Order

We believe that doing business "differently" means doing more—both locally and internationally. We know that every product we provide is an opportunity to make a positive impact. To that end, we’ve developed exclusive brands that give back with every single purchase:

Patriot Brand: Our premium line of drinkware and coolers isn’t just built for the rugged outdoors; it’s built for a cause. Every Patriot purchase supports Homes For Our Troops, helping to build specially adapted custom homes for severely injured Veterans.
Tangelo: Our tech-forward line of chargers, office accessories, and gifts combines sleek design with environmental responsibility. As a member of 1% For The Planet, Tangelo helps fund diverse environmental nonprofits to ensure a better future for everyone.

"In an industry where most are just selling product, we pride ourselves on selling a purpose."

Trust: One Order at a Time

Whether we are perfecting a complex custom order or helping you select the right gift for your team, our goal remains the same: to build trust. We want to be the partner you can rely on when details matter most and the source you can count on for products that stand for something more.

We don’t just ship boxes; we deliver on promises… THAT is the Hirsch Difference.

Thank you for being a part of the Hirsch family journey.

And now for something new

Short Story, Big Picture:

Time to Touch some Grass

Summer is one of the best seasons for promo, but it also creates one of the biggest traps: Spending all day being a DISTRIBUTOR without ever stepping outside to think like the END USER.

If you sell branded outdoor gear, you need to experience it the way your customers do. That means actually using the products, observing how they perform, and thinking about the kinds of moments where they will be seen, shared, and remembered.

Today’s SHORT STORY is a piece to help you achieve your long-term goals, aka the BIG PICTURE.

Company picnics, festivals, golf outings, employee appreciation events, field days, and summer community activations all create opportunities for practical, high-visibility branded gear. The distributors who sell that gear best are the ones who understand not just the product, but the setting.

Use the products before you sell them

The fastest way to improve how you sell outdoor gear is to stop treating it like a catalog item and start treating it like something real people will use in real conditions. When you spend time outside with the products, you can talk about them with more confidence and specificity.

Key Tactics:

Test the product in the environment it is meant for
Pay attention to comfort and usability
Build better sales language from firsthand use

Match products to summer moments

Branded outdoor gear sells best when it is tied to a specific activity. Distributors often make the mistake of leading with the product instead of the moment. Summer gives you a natural calendar of use cases, and the more clearly you connect the item to the event, the easier it is to sell.

Key Tactics:

Build campaigns around actual event settings
Recommending gear that solves a problem and becomes a bonus
Bundle items into event-specific packages

Sell the experience MORE than the item

Outdoor gear is powerful because it gets used in visible, social settings. That means the real value is not just the object itself, but the experience it creates for the people using it and the audience seeing it. If you help clients think that way, you move from simple product selling to brand storytelling.

Key Tactics:

Show how the product creates brand presence in public
Help clients picture the end-user moment
Use summer as a time to refresh your own sales mindset

_____________________________

If you sell branded outdoor gear, you cannot do it well from behind a desk all summer. Touching grass is not just a funny phrase; it is a sales strategy. The more time you spend using the products, the better you will understand how to position them for company picnics, festivals, and summer activities.

For distributors, that means three simple actions: use the products yourself, match them to real summer moments, and sell the experience they create. That approach makes your recommendations stronger, your conversations more natural, and your summer sales more effective.
