Thank you to everyone who voted on our new trendy Easy Prints®, customizable layouts by our own Great Dane Graphics. Many voted, but three rose to the top as the top three layouts. They are Easy Prints layout QLW-60, QBK-180 and QSW-47. All three of these had the fashion look like you find at Abercrombie or Hollister. They are easy to make your own by just changing the text, and choosing a clip art, colors and size. If you are a current dealer, you can preview a proof on your free Easy View™, or if you are new to Transfer Express, your order can be placed by phone.

Our three lucky voters were also chosen and they are Arthur from Initial Reaction, Karla from Personal Pizazz and Leyland from String it Up. Each won $50 towards their next order! Congratulations!

Once your custom transfer is received it can be applied to your apparel in just seconds with a heat press. There is not an easier way to create custom apparel. You are creating your customer’s apparel without the need for art skills or programs, or expensive and messy screen printing equipment.

Like what you see? These and many others are available in the new personalized binder Idea Book™. The binder catalog gives you a great presentation when you meet with potential customers and is a great companion to the online Easy View™. It is the iron-on industry’s largest, filled with thousands of customizable layouts. The book is color coded in sections including fashion, occasions, school, business and sports. Each section is started with full color photos showing the potential for completed apparel on models. The binder cover is personalized with a one line personalization of your choice giving you a professional sales tool.

Here are the first five designs of the new Easy Prints® customizable layout collection from Great Dane Graphics. These are now orderable and can be customized for your needs using Easy View™, our free design tool for all Transfer Express dealers.

The first five designs include a layout from our recreation, mascot, religion, all star and basketball sections. But the section is just a starting point and the layout can be customized to fit your specific needs. If you love the look of the basketball layout but want it for your baseball team—just change the basketball player to a baseball player and the text to fit your needs.

Get creative with colors too! You can show your customer the same design in 1 color or 2 colors but more can be added – just put what other colors are needed and the color placement in notes and our design team will make it happen.

These five designs will be five of the choices for the ‘vote for your favorite design’ on January 18th. Three lucky voters will win $50 towards their own order.

Our new site has launched and offers a great new look as well as much more information on our various products including videos! We appreciate your patience through the transition. Our previous site lasted us over 10 years and we all get accustomed to certain things in certain places. If you can’t find something, the search is very helpful. Or our reps are also available to walk you through it and help you find what you need.

We are listening to your feedback, so please keep it coming. Let the reps know via phone or email us at info@TransferExpress.com.    

Due to your feedback, we added a pricing tab to the home page, added reorders to the shortcut menu and relabeled fonts as fonts/typestyles. You are the users, so let us know how we can best help you.

New T-Shirt Designs from Great Dane Graphics for 2012

It’s been said many times in the decorated apparel industry that the design is what sells the shirt. Great artwork with a theme or genre that is current and popular can’t be kept on the shelves, but dated artwork that looks like the same old thing can’t be sold except as a clearance item.

For this reason, the success of any decorated apparel shop depends on offering great, cutting-edge artwork. And one of the best things about Transfer Express is that we offer a comprehensive library of new and traditional designs that gets updated and expanded all year long. No matter what graphics your customers are requesting, we will have them in some form or fashion.

We are excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with Dane Clement of Great Dane Graphics and are releasing new fresh customizable designs over the next few weeks. Be on the lookout. We will be releasing a few designs at a time. Here’s a sneak preview of what you can expect.

Why do our top customers buy from us?

Recently I was listening to a webinar by Jeff Gitomer who has written many great publications about marketing and has a weekly email newsletter, Sales Caffeine. He challenged each person to ask your best customers, why do you buy from us? As he said, if your top customers buy from you for these reasons, others will want to for the same reasons. Your customers have written your marketing materials. This is a great exercise for your own store as well.

5 reasons our top customers buy custom transfers from us:

Speed – all commented on how fast our service is, and not only how quickly we get it out the door but also,  especially for those on the west coast, how fast it arrives with Speedy Air service, 2 day air for the price of ground.

Reliability – as often as speed, customers commented that not only is the order fast, but it ALWAYS ships on the day we tell them it will.

Education – many of our customers complimented the many education resources we offer, all at no charge, videos, blog tips, webinars and innovative website.

Choices – we are known for our Easy Prints®, and they are ever growing with the largest collection of professional created art that can be customized.

Ease of Business – every company has a system, but customers complimented our dealer service team, the speed we reply to emails and get back to them with quotes sent via upload.

Shooting for Basketball Printing Profits

The NBA Strike has been settled, college and high school basketball has begun and local recreational teams are getting started as well. Now is the time to help these teams with uniforms and apparel.

We can help you uniform the team to start. Reversible jerseys are especially easy with custom transfers. See our new video! Most basketball uniforms only use the digits 0-5 when numbering keeping your costs low—a pack of each digit will number an entire team! Don’t forget to offer printed bags, all basketball players carry their shoes to the court and our CAD-PRINTZ™ Opaque work great on the popular nylon cinch bags.

Basketball Jersey

Reversible jerseys are easy with custom transfers.

Even greater profits are available from spirit wear. We have 120 layouts ready to customize for your team’s fans. Use Easy View™ to make the team up a flyer to pass out to family members.

Our products have been tested for proven durability to meet your customer’s needs. All of our screen printed transfers recently went through a wash test by a testing lab.  

The products were tested on 100% cotton, 50/50 Cotton/Polyester, 100% Polyester Steel mesh, 100% Polyester patterned Jacquard, 100% Polyester 70 Denier Tricot Mesh w/moisture wicking, anti-microbial agents and stain resistant coatings and 100% Polyester Dazzle.

The products tested were Goof Proof, Polytrans, Hot Split, Reflective, Glitter, Pearl, Puff and Elasti Prints. Each was applied to every fabric and then subjected to 50 wash/dry cycles. 

Through all 50 wash/dry cycles, all of the products submitted held up through this vigorous testing. This is helpful to ensure your customers are receiving the highest quality graphics that will last them a long time.
