FAQ2

Alright so you found our website and want to order buttons but have a few questions about when you would get your buttons, the production time, shipping, or rush orders. Hopefully this post will answer some of the questions regarding turnaround time, production, and shipping found on our FAQ page. If you still have questions, feel free to give us a call at (623)-445-9975 or send us an email at customerservice@elbusa.com / sales@elbusa.com.

Am I better off to get Fast-Track Production or Rush Shipping?

In most cases, we typically suggest choosing the Fast-Track Production because it will save you the most money with a slower shipping method to meet your deadline. In some cases you still may require expedited shipping to get your order on time, but the Fast-Track fees are typically the less expensive way to get your buttons faster.

What do you meed by Production Time? Shipping Time?

Production time is the time it will take us to produce your buttons. For example if you choose our Fast-Track 3 day service, your buttons are guaranteed to ship within 3 days after your proof approval. Our standard production time is 5 days, and most times we are able to get your order out faster than the 5 days.

Shipping time is the time it takes for your buttons to reach you once  they leave us after production. Ground shipping times vary depending on how close or how far you are away from us in Phoenix, AZ.

Can I rush my order?

Yes definitely! We offer a Fast-Track Service, which guarantees that your buttons will be produced the Same Day, 1, 2, 3, or 4 Days. Unlike other buttons companies, our fees associated with our Fast-Track service are minimal. Beware of companies charging you up to 125% to rush your button order.

I need buttons tomorrow! Can you help?

Absolutely! here at Everyone Loves Buttons, we specialize in rush orders, and we offer a same day production and shipping options on orders that are up to 2,500 buttons. The only catch is the estimate and art proof need to be approved by 1 PM Arizona time in order to ship out the same day. For same day production and shipping, please give us a call to discuss your order.

Do you ship internationally?

Of course! We also insure/declare all shipments for their actual ‘per piece’ value If you are sending any shipments internationally, your recipient will be required to pay any duties/taxes by their nation’s customs in order to obtain their buttons. This is not a charge that is determined by us, but by the recipient country’s government.

Also for any further questions you can reach us on our social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, and now you can also find us on Instagram.

How We Do Things

elbuttons Leave a comment

Our Button Process

Ever wonder how our button process works? Today we are writing a step by step process on how we do things here at Everyone Loves Buttons!

To start, there are two ways you can go about ordering buttons, the first is through our website under the Order Now tab. There you can choose the size of your buttons, the quantity you need, upload artwork, and how fast you need them made (our standard production time is 5 days). Once you decide from those options you can add that order to your cart. If that’s all you need feel free to check out where you will choose your set up for artwork and shipping. Finally you can complete your order through our website; it’s fast and easy. If you have any problems or questions during your online ordering process give us a call and we are more than willing to help you through the process!

The second way to do an order with us if you are unsure about ordering online, or whether or not you actually want to order buttons, is by requesting a quote. There you can select the type of button, quantity, upload artwork, and tell us when you need them by. Once we receive the quote request we put together an estimate and email it back to you. If our awesome prices have you ready to order, you can fax us, email us, or call us with your billing information (we don’t actually charge your card until your buttons are ready to ship out).

After we receive an order whether it is online or through estimate approval, our art department gets to work making sure your artwork looks its very best. They work up a digital proof and email that to you for your approval. If you have any changes, NO WORRIES! We want you to be happy with your buttons and won’t begin production until the design is perfect. Once it’s perfect we print and cut your graphics to get them ready for production.

Production begins after art has been approved by one of our wonderful button makers. Whether it’s an order for 5 buttons or 10,000+ buttons we take pride in making sure all of our buttons produced are top quality. This means we go through each graphic to ensure a perfect cut, keep the manufacturing areas free from dust (can cause bumps in the buttons), and we make sure that the parts we use have no imperfections. When the order is finished being produce, our shipping department takes over.

The shipping department packs the order and acts as another line of defense in quality control. They go through the buttons to ensure that there aren’t any bad ones (although we typically make a few extras in case a few bad ones escape us…those pesky buttons). Our shipping department also makes sure that the buttons are snug in their box for the journey ahead by using paper or air bags so the buttons aren’t jostled around too much. We want them to be comfortable as they make their way to you. If you chose the quote request route, this is when you will be billed for your buttons.

After the buttons have been sent out we send you an invoice (if you went the quote request route) with the tracking information so you know when your buttons will reach you. If you ordered through our website the tracking information will show up when you login and check on your order.

All in all it’s a fairly simple process to go through and our customer service team is willing to help you every step of the way through it. So if you have any questions or are looking to follow up with your order do not hesitate to give us a call.

Tips on Creating the Best Political Campaign Button

elbuttons Leave a comment

With the political season well under way, there are a few things to consider when designing a political campaign button. If you are looking to create a political button this year here are four things to keep in mind:

  1. There is less space than you think.

Even by going with one of largest sizes, a 4” button, that doesn’t mean you have 4 inches to design you button in. The button graphics have what is called a bleed line, and any design you have outside of this line risks being cut off when the final button is produced. In all actuality your final design is limited to a 3.8056 inches. This way your design doesn’t get pushed all the way to the edge of the button.

  1. Less is more.

When it comes to designing your campaign button don’t get too crazy. You want to choose your design elements carefully because are working with such a small space. You want to make sure that your name or the candidate’s name is prominently featured, which limits what other design elements that can be added. It can be difficult if you are trying to squeeze a picture, a slogan, and a name all on the same button. Be sure if you are trying to rely on just an image or a logo that t he voters know who or what the logo or image represents.

  1. Humor doesn’t always work.

Wordplay can be a great way to capture peoples attention, however you should also keep in mind the audience you are trying to reach. What you may find hilarious and clever your constituents might find that humor silly or offensive. A poorly timed joke or misunderstood pun can actually turn voters against you or the candidate you support.

  1. Colors matter.

When it comes to politically minded colors, nothing stands out more in the US than red, white, and blue. You can bet that most political buttons feature only these three colors. A tip that may help your buttons stand out is having a small batch of different colored buttons. These will catch people’s eye because they stand out and aren’t common for political buttons.

 

If you are interested in seeing some political button samples, check out our political campaign button page under our samples tab.

As always have a great day and #LuvMyButtons!

Hey Everyone! Some exciting news for Everyone Loves Buttons and we wanted to share it with all of you! To follow along with our New Year’s Resolution on our customers receiving great quality products, we have decided that it is time to revamp our social media starting with Twitter. Our first step was to change our Twitter handle from @custombuttons97 to @LuvMyButtons. We felt that our Twitter handle should reflect how we feel about buttons and We Love Buttons! We also want to hear from you, our customer, on how we did and we would like to see pictures of your buttons in action. This led us to an idea for our very first Twitter campaign. It’s going to be launching soon so stay tuned on our blog, Facebook, and Twitter for the launch date. Alright now here’s our idea: When you order custom buttons from us we will put an insert in the box with our Twitter handle (@LuvMyButtons) and #LuvMyButtons. If you send us a tweet with a picture of your buttons and use the #LuvMyButtons, we will send you a coupon code to use for your next custom button purchase. That’s it! Send us a pic with the hashtag and tag us and you get to save money on your next purchase. Who doesn’t like to save money? One last piece of news, we are going to start blogging twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting next week. On Thursdays we would love to start sharing your button pictures and tweets once the campaign launches. As always we would love to hear from you whether it’s a comment, a question, or a concern (hopefully there aren’t any of these). From your friend in the button business, have a great Friday and #LuvMyButtons!
