When you open the Specials filter section by clicking the plus sign, you’ll see the number of items that apply to each category to the right in parenthesis.

Product Colors

In the promotional products industry, clients will want items that coordinate with their corporate branding or campaign theme. Under the Product Colors filter you can choose one or more hues and see the items that have options in your selected color family.

Product Attributes

The Product Attributes filter is one of the most useful filters in the menu! You may notice this section changes depending on the product assortment you are browsing. For writing instruments you’ll see a Blue Ink Available attribute, but you can filter by Custom Color Assortment availability for golf. This section also contains helpful filters like Always Available, Full Color Imprint and more.

Categories

The categories filter is where you will find items that are available on 24 Hour Service, have Guaranteed Inventory, are USA Proud or New. Plus, this is where cross-category filters can be found.

Sometimes, you can even filter further within this section to find exactly what you need.

Koozie Group has a portfolio of 40+ proprietary and partner brands. Use this filter to see which brands are available for the products you are browsing. You’ll see the number of items available per brand in parenthesis to the right of the brand name.
