Whether you own a restaurant, bar, vineyard or small brewery you will find that it is much cheaper to order your custom glasses in bulk from a true custom glassware wholesaler and printer. Buying from the custom glassware wholesaler saves you shipping cost, as shipping by truck is cheaper than multiple small shipments by courier. So, whether you are buying custom wine glasses, custom shot glasses, bulk beer glasses or any other type of glasses; you should consider having the glasses imprinted with the name and logo of your particular business, since you’re buying bulk glassware anyway.

Chain restaurants usually use plain glasses in their bars and at their tables. A small restaurant or bar with imprinted glasses stands out from the popular chains. It’s true, people may be more inclined to steal the glasses as a souvenir. However, that’s not necessarily a problem since each stolen glass represents an ongoing “forever out there” advertisement for your company. Custom wine glasses or shot glasses are inexpensive and when customers take the glasses home, their friends will see your logo which gives your business more exposure. Most customers wouldn’t bother stealing your custom glassware unless they intended to put it out there and show it off to their friends.

Vineyards especially should consider buying custom wine glasses with their vineyard's logo. Your bottles are labeled to promote your brand and your glasses should be too. Not only will this add a certain cache to your wine tasting events and tours, you can offer them for sale in your gift shop. There are customers who will enjoy serving your wine in your glasses… and its free advertising for you. Forever. Most people serve wine when they have guests. The guests will see your logo on the glasses even if they never get a look at the bottle's label.

For the family-owned winery, offering custom wine glasses to your customers can be the perfect path to long-term brand recognition, as well as making your company seem large and legitimate. Custom wine glasses with your logo can be offered in promotional gift sets, sold in stores with your bottle. They can also be given away at wine tasting events at your winery.

Small bars and pubs who buy custom shot glasses and beer glasses should imprint their glasses as well. If you own an Irish pub, glasses imprinted with a shamrock or a leprechaun and your pub's name will be remembered and enjoyed by your patrons. Again, if the glasses look nice there is the opportunity to sell them. Or, on special occasions such as New Year’s Eve, you could also raise your drink prices a bit but offer a free custom shot glass with each order. This sort of thing not only provides a profitable sales item, it advertises your small business.

Even if you own a small brewery, buying custom shot glasses and beer glasses with your business’s name printed on them is a great sales gimmick. Customers who enjoy beer frequently also enjoy whiskey. By offering both the shot glasses and beer glasses for sale, it allows your customers to buy the bar glasses they use most. Some people collect shot glasses and these can serve as a souvenir item for customers taking tours.

Buying your glasses in bulk gets you the lowest price. Buying custom wine glasses and custom shot glasses printed with your businesses name give you the opportunity, in many cases, of selling an additional high profit item. You may be able to buy the imprinted glasses for less than $1.00 each and sell them for $5.00 or more. And again, you get the advertising boast from you customer's themselves.

However, you can’t buy custom wine glasses, custom shot glasses and bulk beer glasses at restaurant supply houses. Most glassware imprinted companies can be found online. You can do an internet search for such terms as “custom printed glassware”, “custom shot glasses”, “custom wine glasses”, etc. And one word of advice when searching any kind of vendor online: don’t always go straight for the company that is on top of the ‘paid listings’. Anyone can pay to be at the top, so it’s often better to browse the keyword relevant listings which display down the page. And also remember, both the cost of the custom glasses and the cost of shipping can be deducted as a business expense.
