October flew by and the numbers don’t lie. Let’s see how suppliers, categories, and products shook out during the spooky month.
Top Suppliers in SAGE Workplace in October
The top three suppliers remained consistent moving from September through October. PCNA bumped Ariel Premium Supply a notch and took the number 4 position. Rivers Promo fell off the top 10 and Hub returned to the list after not being in the top 10 in September. S&S Activewear climbed a spot to number 8.

Top Categories in SAGE Workplace in October
Just like with the suppliers, the top three categories showed no change from September through October with bags, shirts, and pens taking the top spots respectively. Mugs and tumblers flip-flopped in spots 4 and 5 while blankets welcomed the cooler weather by kicking awards off the top 10 and landing in the number 8 spot.

Top Products in SAGE Workplace in October
The 25 most popular products in SAGE for October are listed below, but here are some of the highlights.
Totes remained tops and held 40% of the top 25 spots. That’s 10 different bags with different names, five each for Evans Manufacturing and Superior Promotional Bags.
Despite the popularity of totes, they didn’t take the top spot. That belongs to a stylus pen by Evans Manufacturing, putting Evans Manufacturing items in the top five spots on the list last month. Four stylus pens from various suppliers accounted for 16% of the entire list.
Badge reels were the newest residents in the top 25, accounting for two of the slots (8%). Folks are looking ahead to show season.
Beverage containers from tumblers to water bottles and travel mugs comprised 24% of the list in October.
Other cameos include lip balm, stress relief coloring books for adults, and a can cooler.
