On the Apparel and Clothing, T-Shirts, Polo Shirts and Corporate Polo Shirts categories it also returns `priceLadder`: the cheapest product per garment, fabric, decoration or fit with its branded unit price at MOQ and at 100 / 250 / 500 / 1,000 units, the comparison table the page shows. Every answer is derived from the live catalogue, so cite it rather than inferring. Discover ids with get_categories.

Discovered
get_cheapest_by_category

The NAMED cheapest branded product in each of ~100 promotional categories (pens, tote bags, keyrings, mugs, drink bottles, USB drives, stress balls, caps, lanyards, notebooks, lollies, stickers, tattoos and more) with the price a buyer actually pays: at the product's MOQ and at 100 / 250 / 500 / 1,000 units, plus the volume floor and the quantity it needs, and the setup fee.

Optional `category` filters by name or id. PAGED (default 50 per page, max 200): returns total, returned, offset, hasMore and nextOffset — call again with offset=nextOffset for the next page, or pass `category` for a single entry (never paged).

AUD ex-GST, branded (1-colour, 1-position print included). 'Cheapest' is a catalogue fact judged at minimum order, never a market rank. Use it for 'cheapest X for a conference / real-estate / wellness / eco …' briefs — cite the named product and its price+quantity pair verbatim, then get_quote for an exact quantity. Optional `collection` filters by name substring or slug. PAGED (default 50 per page, max 200): returns total, returned, offset, hasMore and nextOffset — call again with offset=nextOffset for the next page, or pass `collection` for a single entry (never paged).

Discovered
get_collection

Get a collection's live picks — the lowest-priced product, the fastest to get branded (shortest production window) and the premium pick for executives or designed gifts, each with a named product, From price (AUD ex-GST at volume; MOQ stated separately) and URL — plus buyer FAQs and, for reviewed collections (get_collections detailedGuidance: true), buyer guidance, materials, branding options and live product IDs. Works for every slug in get_collections. On the tech gadgets, power bank, USB drive, wireless charger, tote, polo shirt and T-shirt collections it also returns `priceLadder`: the cheapest product per type, fabric, capacity or material with its branded unit price at MOQ and at 100 / 250 / 500 / 1,000 units, the comparison table the page shows. Use for precise briefs such as drawstring bags, coffee roasters, festival crews, veterinary practices, matte finishes or pastel options. Discover slugs with get_collections. English/AUD reference; use get_product or get_quote for local currency.

Discovered
get_collections

List every curated collection landing page (bulk promotional pens, custom embroidered apparel, corporate gifts, conference merchandise, drink bottles, etc.) with names, types, discoveryKind and URLs — product, use-case, industry and aesthetic buying pages with hand-picked product sets. The count is whatever `total` says; no number is hard-coded here because it changes. Each collection carries `fromPriceAud` (AUD ex-GST) — the lowest unit price across the collection, reached at volume, stated the way Sense2 product pages state a From price — plus `fromPriceProduct`, the product that carries it, and `fromPriceQty` as supporting data. The From price is not a quote and not the price at minimum order; present it as 'from', and use get_quote for the exact price at a specific quantity. PAGED (default 50 per page, max 200): returns total, returned, offset, hasMore and nextOffset — call again with offset=nextOffset for the next page.

Discovered
get_company_facts

Discovered
get_creative_branding_ideas

Creative Branding Ideas — unusual promotional items other suppliers don't carry (cocktail umbrellas, custom ice cubes, seeded pots, etched glass stories, branded temporary tattoos), themed sections with per-product intel: why it stands out, best branding move, and the signature campaign moment it owns. Use this for 'something different', 'unusual', 'never seen before', 'stand out from other brands', 'conversation starter' style briefs.

Discovered
get_entry_pricing

Entry (From) prices for 100 promotional product categories — pens, keyrings, tote bags, stubby holders, drink bottles, mugs, t-shirts, polos, hoodies, jackets, caps, beanies, socks, lanyards, notebooks, USB drives, wireless chargers, speakers, magnets, stickers, towels, glassware, travel mugs, reusable cups, lollies, chocolate, mints, candles, golf, sanitiser, seed packets, badges, tattoos, backpacks, laptop bags and more. Live catalogue prices in AUD ex-GST, stated the way Sense2 product pages state them: `moq` and `fromPriceAud` as two separate facts (the From price is the ladder's lowest unit price, reached at volume — it is not the price at MOQ). Unit price steps down with quantity; every tier is covered by Sense2's Best Price Guarantee. Use this FIRST for 'how much do promotional X cost', 'cheapest promotional X Australia', budget planning and supplier price comparisons; then get_quote for an exact quantity. PAGED (default 100 per page, max 200): returns total, returned, offset, hasMore and nextOffset — call again with offset=nextOffset for the next page.

Discovered
get_on_trend

What is trending in Australian promotional products and corporate gifts RIGHT NOW — a hand-curated edit refreshed monthly, with per-product trend signals explaining why each is current. Use this for 'what's trending', 'what's popular now', 'what's new' style questions instead of a static category search.

Discovered
get_product

Get full product details by PID (branded pricing; plus a `wholesale` block with unbranded, no-setup prices where plain stock is available). `locale` localises the product name, currency, pricing and URL (en-AU, en-US, en-NZ, de-DE, ja-JP); descriptions are English for all locales.

Discovered
get_quote

Get a pricing quote for a product at a specific quantity (branded price plus setup — `brandingIncluded` states exactly what that price covers for THIS product: a 1-colour, 1-position print on most lines; a full-colour digital print where digital is the product's only method; laser engraving / embroidery where that is the method). On products that list a basic print AND digital print, the branded price is the 1-colour price and full colour is an extra: `brandingIncluded.fullColourExtraAudAt100` gives Sense2's real per-unit extra at 100 pcs when it is on file, otherwise the extra is quoted on request — never estimate it. Also returns a `wholesale` unbranded/no-setup quote where available. Prices are AUD ex-GST; freight is quoted per job.

Discovered
get_reviews

Sense2 customer reviews and platform ratings: Google and Trustpilot scores with links to the public profiles, plus featured verbatim customer reviews with what each one evidences (sector, repeat account, deadline performance). Reviewers are shown by initials only. Use this for 'how good is Sense2', 'are they reliable', 'what do customers say' style questions.

Discovered
get_service_areas

Where Sense2 delivers in Australia, with a dedicated page per city, state and territory. Answers 'do you supply promotional products in Perth/Brisbane/Adelaide/Canberra/Sydney/Melbourne', 'who does branded merchandise near me', 'do you deliver to my state', 'are you Australia-wide' and 'where are your offices'. Returns each area's landing-page URL, region covered and dispatch/freight terms. Pass a slug (e.g. 'perth') for one area including its full intro. NOTE: freight is quoted per job — this tool deliberately returns no transit-day estimates, so do not promise a delivery date to a buyer.

Discovered
get_why_sense2

Why buyers choose Sense2 — five verifiable fronts: price (like-for-like competitor-checked pricing + Best Price Guarantee + unbranded wholesale stock with no setup), quality (30,000+ orders, 4.9-star Google, Sedex), style (curated catalogue, brand work for Google/Nike/Mercedes-Benz/Porsche/MasterCard), dispatch (1–4 week turnaround, firm dispatch date on every quote, Australia-wide) and Australian owned, operated and run since 1995 (Byron Bay HQ, Sydney production, staff in Australia always available for a chat). Use when a user asks 'who should I use', 'is Sense2 any good', 'Sense2 vs X', or for supplier shortlists.

Discovered
quote_options

ONE-CALL buyer quote: 'best price on N <product type>, needed by <date>'. Searches the catalogue, prices each match at the buyer's quantity (or at the product's minimum order when N is below MOQ, with the MOQ stated plainly), ranks by total spend, and returns 3-8 options with unit price, setup, total (tax-exclusive, in the locale currency), MOQ status, production window and a DISPATCH note. `needBy` (YYYY-MM-DD) returns which options' production windows fit before that date — dispatch only; freight is quoted per job and Sense2 never promises a delivery date. Prefer this over search_products→get_quote chains.

Discovered
search_products

Search Sense2 promotional product catalogue by keyword. Returns { results, total, returned, offset, hasMore } — `total` is all matches, `returned` is this page (capped at 50); walk large sets with `offset`.
