Save Time and Money Buying Giveaway Items for Events
Did you know that the process for buying promotional items hasn’t changed in more than a decade?
Quote requests and vendor communications happen mostly via email. And if a member leaves the team, that valuable vendor and ordering information vanishes too.
With AgoraQuote, you can empower your marketing team with a simple solution that saves time, saves money, and future-proofs promotional item purchasing.
How AgoraQuote Works
Request vendor quotes
Fill out a quote request form that is customizable for your business needs, so vendor quotes are perfectly tailored for your requirements.
Vendors respond with their quotes
The AgoraQuote dashboard displays all of the quotes responses in one place, so you can compare all the information you need to make an informed decision, such as unit cost, shipping costs, and delivery timelines.
You choose the best quote
You determine the best quote based on what’s important for any given order, such as unit cost, total cost, turnaround time, in-hand date, or shipping costs.
Getting quotes approved
AgoraQuote automatically routes quotes based on your defined approval process. It will even follow up if approval isn’t timely.
Process your order
Once approved, the selected quote is sent to the chosen vendor to begin processing your order.
Seamless Savings from Start to Finish
With all your vendors in a single place, sending quote requests to multiple vendors has never been easier. Compare quotes side-by-side, select the best quote, secure approvals, and place your order, all without leaving your system.

Get All Your Promotional Item Buying Organized
AgoraQuote makes it easy to look back to find information about past quotes, vendors, and orders. Trying to remember what you ordered for an event a year ago? No problem. All of the information is in one place, so you can easily find what you need.
Keep Accounting Happy
AgoraQuote will automatically route quotes for approval to keep you in compliance with your procurement workflow. And when it comes time to reconcile purchase orders or p-card statements, it's easy to get to the information you need.
Support Small Business and Diversity Spending Goals
Identify small, local, and diversity vendors during the quoting process, and easily create reports on your purchases.
Keep Track of Your Swag Budget
Run reports by event, by month/quarter/year, by category, or by vendor so it's easy to compare your actual promotional item spend to your budget. Access to past order data makes planning easier, too!
Make Smarter Decisions Faster
Sometimes quick turn-around is the most important thing. Sometimes it's unit price. Sometimes, you need to order the exact brand and item you want. See all of your promotional item quotes in the AgoraQuote dashboard so you can quickly compare and make the best decision for your needs.
