Custom decorated company apparel can be a great gift to help show your team they are valued. Here at vbs apparel we have the skills and products to produce high-quality, custom decorated apparel for just about any organization. Whether you’re looking for decorated shirts or accessories as gifts for your team, or you’re looking for a promotional give-away item to elevate your standing with the people you’re trying to attract, we have solutions for you.
We can help you choose what products and designs will best suit your goals; here are some considerations to think about to get you started:
Who is the apparel for?
First, consider who your intended recipient is, and why you are giving apparel to them. Is this an appreciation gift for your office staff, intended to raise team spirit? Do you hope to project your business’ competence and professionalism with company branded apparel for client-facing executives? Do you want decorated accessories to give away as promotional products to increase your brand awareness? Whatever your goal is, make sure that you are considering the needs of the person receiving the apparel.
What kind of apparel will the recipient truly want?
Make sure that you consider what apparel the recipient will actually want. No one wants to receive a low-quality, ugly t-shirt as a “gift”—such a poorly thought out item will surely do the opposite of making your team members feel valued, and lower your business’ standing in the eyes of a client. Consider things like the following:
- Work environment: Does your staff work in an office that runs cold? Maybe a cozy quarter-zip sweater would see a lot of use. Or does your team work outside in the sun? A branded bucket hat or performance long-sleeve shirt might be a welcome gift.
- Workplace culture and standards: Are you a casual and relaxed work environment? Or do you keep a more professional dress code? Give your staff members something they can easily wear to work, whether that’s a graphic sweatshirt for the relaxed office or a tastefully decorated soft-shell jacket or fleece vest for the business casual environment.
- Tie-in to workplace benefits: Do you offer a gym membership as a work benefit? Branded workout clothes could be a real boost to the value of your benefits package.
- Quality expectations: Make sure that the product quality you select matches the value you place on your team members. We have dozens of product suppliers offering different textures, materials, and features; your team members will appreciate it when you’ve chosen something for them that feels premium and conveys quality.
How can I make sure the design quality reflects my company standards?
Make sure the graphic design of your apparel is attractive, professional, and elevates your brand—just slapping your logo onto a t-shirt isn’t enough. We have top-quality graphic designers on staff who can help you achieve your creative vision for your apparel. It can be as simple as thoughtfully designing something minimalist and clean based on your provided logos, or we can create brand new fully custom graphics for you.
