Why Your Merch Needs a Back-Up Plan

Why Your Merch Needs a Back-Up Plan

When news broke about the recent disaster at the Port of Long Beach—where a barge lost dozens of shipping containers into the water—it was a wake-up call for many businesses. Even the most reliable supply chains can face unexpected challenges.

For companies that depend on merchandise, uniforms, or promotional products, an incident like this doesn’t just mean lost goods—it can mean missed deadlines, disappointed customers, and added stress. That’s why having a back-up plan isn’t just smart, it’s necessary.

At Soulkal, we believe preparation is part of good service. When things don’t go according to plan, we exhaust every possible route to make sure our customers are taken care of. From tapping into multiple vendor relationships, to exploring domestic alternatives, to finding creative solutions that keep projects on track—we do the legwork so our clients don’t have to worry.

Our goal is simple: no matter what’s happening in ports, factories, or shipping lanes, your brand stays moving forward. Because at the end of the day, merch is more than product—it’s your story, your team, and your connection with the people who matter most. And we’ll always have your back to keep that story alive.
