If you own your own business, you probably constantly find yourself on the lookout for ways to advertise and push your brand.
One way to do this is t-shirt printing. You can either ask employees to wear them while walking the store, or give them as freebies to customers. But finding a reliable t-shirt company on the web can be tricky.
To help, we’ve put together a simple guide.
Don’t gather quotes
This sounds a little backwards, but collecting quotes can be time consuming, and for business owners, time costs money. Most printing companies offer competitive pricing, so you’ll probably see similar costs across the board.
Be wary of any one offering really low prices. The quality they’re offering is probably stupidly low too.
Customer service is vital
Customer care is important in any service, but especially so in printing. You need to be able to see examples of their work so that you can decide whether they’re right for you. Plus, you’ll want someone to call on for guidance and advice in the design phase.
Price
As we said, prices are competitive across the board, but be aware that the more complicated your design, the more expensive it’ll be. If you’re printing large quantities (which is more than likely) then you’ll probably want to go for screen printing.
The price will be based on your individual requirements.
Do it sooner, rather than later
Remember – t-shirt printing can often take a few weeks, so make sure you order with plenty of time. If you’re going to use the tees for a product launch or event, you’ll need them to arrive on time. You should also give yourself time to iron out any design issues!
Hire help
Designing might not be your thing. If it isn’t, don’t try and design the t-shirt yourself. Remember that this shirt is representing your business, so it needs to look good.
Hire someone who has design experience to create something that’ll benefit you rather than hinder.
