How do you outsell promotional apparel competitors?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Show prospects apparel that competitors can\u2019t replicate. Simply choosing garments \u2013 even great ones \u2013 isn\u2019t enough. Use decoration to set your proposal apart. Here are five ways to leverage the power of decoration to win more bids and increase profit.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\nGo one-of-a-kind.<\/strong> It could be a new decoration or embellishment technique, innovative material, surprise logo placement or all of the above. Get creative in your requests for decoration and work with suppliers that offer an array of options.
\nSuggest multimedia decoration.<\/strong> This kicks your recommendation up a notch. Mix decorative methods and fabrics. For example, two techniques that work well together are embroidery and laser etching. Decorators with the right equipment can do this efficiently and cost-effectively on the same machine, allowing you to either keep your quote down or your margin up.
\nTalk to your clients about texture and dimension. <\/strong>Consider decoration an extension of the garment. Felt laser-appliqu\u00e9 provides visual depth to a logo or mascot as well as a soft hand \u2013 engaging more of the wearer\u2019s senses. Look for twill and new performance tech appliqu\u00e9s, or choose a reverse appliqu\u00e9 that\u2019s made with a cotton rib fabric for texture.
\nReintroduce heat transfers.<\/strong> They\u2019re trending partly because of performance apparel and its need forlightweight applications and shortrun orders. Today\u2019s transfers are thin, flexible and endure through wear and wash. They\u2019re used with many fabrics, from 100% poly to cotton to fleece. Choose based on the look your client desires. For example, a die-mold transfer creates a 3-D effect that you see on performance apparel at retail.
\nSell at full margin.<\/strong> A creative decorative method allows you to avoid discounting and commodity selling. Buyers who simply go online and choose a basic T-shirt with a screen print can shop price. With unique decoration, you\u2019re providing an elevated option that isn\u2019t easily shopped around.<\/p>\n

What\u2019sTrending: Laser Tech Appliqu\u00e9<\/strong>
\nThis fashion-forwardembellishment technique produces an upscale branding option for bonded jackets and other performance garments. Tech patches have a smooth hand, flex with the garment and can be designed in a variety of simple shapes. Your client\u2019s name orlogo will have a tonal mark on the patch with details as fine as 0.3mm. Tech appliqu\u00e9 can also be used as an under-layer to another fabric to boost the logo and add dimension.<\/p>\n
