What a difference 12 months can make. Going into 2022, suppliers were contending with inventory shortfalls, labor woes, supply chain headaches and lingering pandemic concerns. By the end of the year, the Top 40 promotional products suppliers on this list had increased their revenue by a healthy 23%, and a quarter upped their sales by nearly 40% or more. Because the gains were universal, the makeup of this year’s Top 40 list remained generally status quo, with apparel firms (and, in particular, number-one supplier SanMar) continuing their reign at the top. As with our distributor list, the Counselor team obtained certified financial results for the Top 40 suppliers, and conducted research and interviews to vet the results, including deeper inquiries when companies posted significant sales growth or declines. Where will things stand in another 12 months? It’ll be interesting to find out.
