GUIDES BY BUYER ROLE
Branded merchandise guides by buyer role
Each role approaches the same order from a different angle: brand teams guard consistency, procurement guards comparability, HR guards the human moment. These guides turn those angles into one workable brief.
Why plan by role
A merchandise programme passes through several owners: brand and marketing set the visual frame, procurement compares quotations, finance sets the envelope, and HR or office teams run the actual hand-over. When each role asks its own questions early, the brief closes in the first round instead of the third.
The guides follow Hungarian market practice: HUF budgets with 27% VAT, ready-stock versus custom production windows, and receiving rules for Budapest venues and regional sites. Confirm final prices and lead times against a written quotation.
