Advantages of Screen Printing in Denver

Screen printing is a common and popular technique used in the apparel printing industry. A straightforward procedure, screen printing uses a mesh to transfer the ink onto the item.

Key Benefits of Using Promotional Products for Your Business

Savvy business owners know that brand awareness is key. Not only does it allow you logo to be identifiable, when people are familiar with your brand, they’re far more likely to become a customer. One of the easiest ways to create brand awareness is through the use of promotional items. Key chains, mugs, t-shits and bottle openers are often given away at trade shows or other types of events. Sometimes, a company will order a batch of custom screen-printed t-shirts or sweatshirts for its employees in advance of a meeting or outing. In addition to giving your employees a sense of being part of a group, it also helps create brand awareness. Again, brand recognition of a company can help keep both your company and its products in the mind of a potential customer for as long as possible. If you distribute mouse pads, pens and other types of daily-use items, potential customers will look at your logo each and every day. Low cost mass outreach Marketing can be expensive. Google Ad Words, billboards, commercials and radio spots can cost you an arm and a leg. Promotional products, however, are relatively in expensive. Unlike mass media, this type of marketing is not going to cost you tens of thousands of dollars each month. When you use promotional products, you’ll be tapping into cost-effective [...]

Top 4 Reasons to Clean Out Your Closet This Fall

Although most people don’t think about cleaning out their closets and drawers until the spring, the fall is also an optimal time to do this. Sure, it may not fall onto your top 5 list of favorite things to do, but if you’re like most people, your closets and drawers are bound to have more than few items that should be tossed, retired or donated. Below are just a few reasons you’ll want to tackle that job before the winter hits. You’ll have more space for new things If you have a family that’s big into holiday gift-giving, it may be worth clearing out your closet to make some room for new shirts, dresses, hooded sweatshirts and/or jackets. Besides, how much of what’s currently in your closet, do you actually wear? Sure, that big puffy jacket you’ve had for the past however many years may have some great memories attached to it, but if you haven’t worn it since before President Obama took office (for his first term), it’s probably time to kiss it good bye. While you’re in your closet, go through your hoodies. The cross-country sweatshirt you’ve had since 10th grade can probably go, too. The shirt you wore that one time to that one party that hasn’t seen the light of day since? Donate it. The sweater that has the [...]

T-shirts turn people into a walking advertisement for your company We can all agree that renting billboard space is expensive. Yet there are other ways to get your logo out there.

Reasons Your Business Should Use Sticker Marketing

If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to create a viral buzz for your company, you can’t ignore the benefits of sticker marketing. A few weeks ago, we were talking with a client who shared a memory he had from high school. A new kid had just moved to town after his parents decided to open a surf/snowboard shop in the local shopping corridor. One day, the new kid showed up with a pile of happy face stickers (the happy face was the same one his parents used for the shop’s logo.) One by one, he began to distribute them to his friends and classmates. By the end of the day, everyone who didn’t have a sticker wanted to know how they could get their hands on one. Suffice to say, those stickers provided some great marketing for his parents’ business. Guerrilla marketing 101 If you’re going to print stickers for your business, we don’t recommend having your employees go around and start slapping them on light poles or utility boxes for all of the obvious reasons. We would, however, recommend that you give them out in grab-bags or at conventions. You can even give a stack to each of your employees and ask them to leave a sticker alongside their tip when they eat out at restaurants. You can also ask local [...]

Ways Your Company Can Benefit from Promotional Products

If you’re a business owner who is wanting to create brand awareness, you’ll want to work with a company that can help you create creative and memorable promotional products to help with your marketing efforts. Years ago, we knew of a private security company that set up a booth at a trade show—and while a company with a booth at a trade show isn’t an interesting thing, when the company is a security services provider, and they’re giving away key chains that look like mini handcuffs, well that’s more memorable than not. Remember, promotional products aren’t limited to things like highlighters, pens and stickers. The more creative you can get, the better. Fun fact, in the United States, eight out of 10 consumers has between one and ten promotional products. The next time you’re sitting at home, or you decide to rummage through the drawers in your desk, take a minute to inventory how many pens, t-shirts, coffee mugs or note pads in your possession that you got as some sort of giveaway. You may be surprised at the number of items you find. Another stat that’s worth mentioning relates to brand awareness. Studies have shown that 89 percent of consumers indicated they were able to remember the company name or the advertiser’s name for two years after receiving a promotional item. Longevity [...]

Ways Screen Printed T-Shirts Are Great for Fundraisers

Are you trying to raise money for your church, a little league team or to help get a group of high school students to study in France for a week? If so, you may have come up with a few obvious fundraising ideas.  Bake sales, raffles, but what most people don’t realize is that custom, screen printed t-shirts are great for fundraising. If you’re scratching your head, trying to figure out why and how the two go hand in hand, we’ll tell you. A great t-shirt comes with many advantages Not only can t-shirts be sold, they can be great gifts for beneficiaries and donors. Circling back to our first point, when you sell t-shirts in person or online, you’ll be able to raise money for whatever cause you’re working toward. What’s more, is that every time someone wears that t-shirt, they’re helping to create awareness for your fundraiser. A third advantage relates to online publicity. Why? Because when people share photos of your t-shirt on social media pages, or they post photos of groups of people who are wearing your t-shirt, well, that’s where the free online publicity component comes in. Raising money Although there are a number of people who are happy to make donations to a given cause, other people are less likely to make a monetary contribution unless they [...]
