Promo Products Software, Instant Bulk Branded-Merch Quotes.
Promo products software is a quote engine that returns real quantity breaks (product, quantity tier, imprint and colors, setup, rush, and shipping) the moment a company requests branded merch, instead of a rep hand-building quotes for buyers collecting five bids. With Everybooking the client approves, pays a deposit, and approves the proof through one link.
A company asks for branded merch, a product, a quantity tier, an imprint and colors, setup, rush, and shipping. Everybooking returns the full quote in under a second. The buyer approves, pays a deposit, and signs off on the proof through one link. Your account reps stop hand-building quotes for buyers who are collecting five bids.
What do promotional products distributors hate about their current quoting process?
Every request is a manual quote
A rep pulls the quantity-break table, the imprint table, and the setup charge for each inbound email, then types it all up. One quote can eat 30 minutes before it ever hits the buyer's inbox.
Slow reply loses the order
The buyer sent the same RFQ to five distributors. The order goes to whoever answers first with a real number, not whoever has the best catalog. If your rep is at lunch, you lost it.
Endless back-and-forth threads
Quantities move from 250 to 500, the imprint goes from one color to two, the in-hands date slips. Every change is another email and another re-quote by hand.
Hours quoting one-off browsers
Someone wants a single custom water bottle for their dad. Your reps spend real time quoting orders that were never going to be bulk, while the 1,000-unit RFQ waits.
Add-ons priced ad hoc
Setup charge, extra imprint colors, a rush upcharge, freight. Each gets guessed or forgotten on the fly, so two reps quote the same job two different ways and margin walks out the door.
Supplier prices keep moving
Cost tables shift by quantity break and by supplier. Keeping every rep on the current numbers is its own job, and a stale quote is either a lost deal or a lost margin.

Promotional Products Questions.
- How is this different from commonsku or HALO's tools?
- commonsku is a distributor CRM and order-management system your reps drive by hand, someone on your team builds the quote against the quantity breaks and imprint tables after the request lands. Everybooking answers the inbound request itself. A buyer asks for 500 branded jackets with a two-color left-chest imprint and gets a real quote back in under a second, priced from your own quantity-break and imprint tables. You keep your CRM and PO workflow; we win the order before a competing distributor replies.
- Does it quote quantity breaks automatically?
- Yes. That is the point. The buyer picks a product and a quantity, and the quote prices the right break, 250 vs 500 vs 1,000, from your own cost tables, then rolls in the imprint, setup, and shipping. No pulling up a supplier catalog and doing the break math by hand on every inbound email.
- Can it price setup, extra imprint colors, rush, and freight?
- Yes, each as its own line. A single quote prices the product at the correct quantity break, the imprint by number of colors and locations, the setup or screen charge, a rush upcharge for a tight in-hands date, and freight, each independent, with rules for quantity tiers and blackout dates.
- Can it filter out one-off browsers?
- Yes. The funnel asks for quantity up front, so a shopper wanting a single custom mug never reaches your reps, while a company sourcing 750 event tote bags gets an instant quote and lands in your pipeline. Your team stops spending hours quoting orders that were never going to be bulk.
- What does it cost?
- Done-For-You at $297/mo + $1,500 build fee is the typical distributor plan. Founding customers get 50% off Y1 locked for the life of the account. That math works for a distributor quoting bulk corporate, event, and team orders, not for a single custom mug.
