To Our Valued Customers,
We understand that the current tariff situation may be creating uncertainty in your purchasing decisions. We want to assure you that MCM Brands is here to support you every step of the way. Here’s how we’re helping:
1. Pricing on Existing Orders
If you’ve already placed an order with us, your price is locked in. We will not increase prices on any existing orders. Our commitment has always been to provide quality products at fair prices, and we stand by that promise.
2. Price Stability for USA Proud* Products through December 31, 2025
We are keeping prices unchanged through the end of the year on all USA Proud* items, which make up 25% of our catalog. Look for the USA Proud logo in our digital catalogs: https://mcmbrands.com/catalogs
3. Other Products – Pricing Holds Through June 1, 2025
For the rest of the items in our 2025 catalogs, we are closely monitoring cost changes and exploring sourcing alternatives. We do not want to rush what is a very fluid situation, so we will hold prices on these products through at least June 1, 2025.
4. Strong Inventory Position
We anticipated potential disruptions and proactively imported a large volume of inventory – especially our best sellers – before the tariffs were implemented. While we are currently well stocked, we certainly could see some orders impacted by inventory. If so, we’ll keep you informed with updated ship dates or alternative product suggestions.
5. How Tariffs Affect Our Products
We decorate over 80% of our product line here in the USA, which helps us reduce the impact of tariffs. Since tariffs only apply to the imported components of the product we decorate, the effect on pricing could be much less than it may seem.
We’re here to help guide you through these uncertain times, so please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns.
Kindest Regards,
Lee Blount
General Manager and Vice President
