So where do you start?
1.   Find out if they would like a specific height for the text needed.
2.   Find out how many teams and what color ink is needed for each team.
3.   Find out how many players on each team.

Now you organize!
First, divide the teams by ink color. Let’s say that 8 teams get white ink and 8 teams get black ink. Your customer told you they want the sponsor names 1.5” tall. We have created sponsor layouts that make filling these orders easy and very cost effective. Since they have chosen 1.5” tall as the letter height, you will want to use QSP-2 for ordering. You can see that there are 8 lines that fit on one order. So, start filling the slots with your sponsor names needing white ink.

Line 1 MARY’S ICE CREAM
Line 2 JONES LEGAL SERVICE
Line 3 MARIO’S PIZZA
Line 4 JOHNSON DELI
Line 5 ABC SPORTING GOODS
Line 6 MEDIC DRUG STORE
Line 7 HENRY’S BURGERS
Line 8 SUE’S CUPCAKES

Sponsor layouts are a great way to easily organize a league order.

How many should you order?
Three of the teams have 12 players and the other five have 15, so you will be ordering 15 sheets of the order you created above. So, your order would be for 15 sheets @ $3.58/sheet=$53.70 to put sponsor names on 8 teams, 111 players. That is just .48 per player! And your order ships the same day when ordered by 11 am EST so not only can you give your league a great price but also great service.

Number Ordering
The number order is just as easy. Use our online number calculator. Enter 3 teams with number 1-12 and 5 teams 1-15. Using a 6” number, the cost is just .25 per digit so with a sponsor on the front and a number on the back, your printing cost is just 73 cents!

Layout QAL-219

Ben Reutter and Chris Ulrich of Transfer Express hosted an all day seminar on league business.

Doug discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the league business. The advantages are a reputation in the community, many uniforms to decorate and the stability of the league business even during down times. The disadvantage is a lot of business all with the same delivery demands, add-ons, and low margins.

He reviewed ideas for overcoming these disadvantages such as getting them to buy an extra uniform right from the start, the use of transfers so that you do have the one extra to apply in seconds and using the delivery as an opportunity to advertise for more profitable business. 

He also emphasized the importance of getting 50% down when ordered, and the rest on delivery because leagues have all of their money paid when sign up ends before the season starts, and as the season progresses payment for grass cutting, lights, umpires, etc may drain an ill planned budget.

Doug from Bomark explains the ins and outs of league business at an all day Open House Seminar hosted by Transfer Express.

Doug also brought samples of the uniforms distributing by Bomark. He will be presenting this same seminar at upcoming ISS shows, so if you are at a show it is a great investment of time in your business.

After paying big rent at the Annapolis Mall in Annapolis, Maryland, for years, Hoffman and his partner decided they’d had enough of that. So the embroiderer, who lives in a three-level house, gutted 1,000 feet on the first floor and built his shop, a showroom, and an outdoor tiki bar instead. It’s now home to his one singlehead, one four-head, and two two-head embroidery machines and two Stahls’ Hotronix heat transfer presses.

The tiki bar garnered media attention from a local newspaper The Capital, Annapolis, Md., November 13, 2010 issue and March/April 2011 issue of Stitches magazine where it was the cover story.

“It looks just like a tiki bar you’d see on the beach in the British Virgin Islands,” says Hoffman. “We have water in the back yard. It’s enclosed in the wintertime so we can use it year-round.”

Although Hoffman doesn’t sell drinks, it’s used for entertaining clients and friends for all kinds of occasions. “It looks like a real bar, and we have mixed drinks,” he notes. “We throw big neighborhood parties and watch all the big sporting events. It’s a perfect man cave.”

In addition to offering embroidery, Hoffman also is a regular customer of Transfer Express. When he gets multi-color print jobs, he has found transfers the best way to go. “When we get an eight-color job for a dark shirt, if you screen print it, that’s eight screens plus a white underbase. When it’s a left-chest size design for 100 shirts, the only cost-effective way to do it is using Transfer Express CAD-PRINTZ™.”

“We’ve used them for a multitude of orders, and they have always done a great job with outstanding service at a price that is affordable,” says Hoffman. “We also get quick turnaround. We’re glad to have them on our team.”

Owner Tim Hoffman and production manager Amy Lynn Hall sit on a stool in the outdoor tiki bar that is used to entertain clients throughout the year. Hoffman built it at the same time he transformed the first floor of his three-story house into his shop and showroom.
