Rally Towels are Easy-to-Print Items to Offer Your Customer

Dealer Services — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:31:47 +0000

This Friday, a big game takes place between two local state ranked football teams. Both of them run successful spirit stores so, professionally, we are staying neutral!

If your area also has an upcoming big game, an easy-to-print item to offer your customer is the rally towel. You can even print on the demand at the game with your heat press and custom transfers supporting both teams. Or have your customer offer it as an incentive with program sales–$10 for a program and rally towel.

Rally towels add to the excitement for fans!

These towels are available at a low cost, usually about $1, and you can do a transfer gang sheet with 2 images per sheet to keep your costs to a minimum. We offer over 100 football layouts that can easily be customized for your event!

On the rally towels shown, which are 14” x 17” in size, we used a Goof Proof® screen printed transfer and heat pressed for 4 seconds. All of our products can be applied to cotton, so choose your favorite and waive your team to victory!

Rally towels are a great way for fans to support their team!

Dealer Services — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:42:40 +0000

Just because the school year is nearing the end, it doesn’t mean schools can’t be a great source for sales. Many year end events are in the planning stages and custom printed t-shirts are a big part of those events. Graduations are occurring at all levels-Kindergarten, Middle School and High School. Most elementary schools have a field day to close out the year. And the High School prom is a traditional year end event. We have an entire layout section dedicated to Proms or use the theme and pick a layout to customize for their shirts. In the Elementary School section we have several choices for field days t-shirts, and many class list and graduation designs to choose. Use your local school’s website to find out the date and coordinator of each of these events. Then use your Easy View online tool to create a custom apparel flyer for the school. Take this to your presentation and with the work already done for them, you are sure to win the sale!

Helmet Stickers Are A Great Add On Sale

Dealer Services — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:05:24 +0000

Whatever the sport—we have the helmet stickers to decorate and number the team. Our stickers apply easily to baseball, lacrosse, bike or football helmets and are full color! You can send us your own art to create a custom helmet sticker or use our Easy Prints® ideas and clip art—just let us know the colors and the size! The stickers are durable, water and fade resistant for outdoor wear. If you have placed an order for your customer’s uniform, we can reduce the logo for the helmet also. Stickers can be purchased as individual logos, in number/decal packs or numbers only.

The Number/Decal Packs are perfect for handing out to the team to personalize each helmet. Each pack has a 4” x 4” space for a logo (you can do one large, two small or even multiple reward stickers), and 13, 1.6” numbers—the perfect size for the back of a helmet. In addition, each pack has space for a store name/address or motivational message for the team. For example, on each pack you can put “MVP Sporting Goods wishes the Mentor Cardinals the best of luck this season”, or just your company name and address so the team knows who to call when they need more stickers.

Prom T-Shirts to Remember

Dealer Services — Mon, 03 May 2010 16:37:22 +0000

April thru June is Prom season at practically every high school across the country. At the prom the total number of kids that attend can be in the hundreds. This is a great opportunity to increase production and gain profits. Most schools have a prom committee that meets about once a week to discuss detail of the prom from decorations to ticket sales to what DJ they will be hiring. This is a great place to start and show them the designs you can do and provide the committee with a quote. Some Proms also provide an After Prom at a specific location to keep the kids safe. The After Proms are usually themed such as Mardis Gras, Casino Night, and Tropical décor. So not only can you land a job for the actual Prom rececption and dance, but you can double your profits by offering shirts to the After Prom committee also!

The students want to remember their Prom night for years so a custom t shirt is a common party gift they can take home. The Idea Book™ is filled with design ideas for their t shirts. Transfer Express has added a Dance Section with several layouts that can be customized with the schools name and theme of the prom. If you don’t find something here, don’t forget to check out the rest of the Idea Book™ sections. Even the Work and Sports sections contain layouts that can be changed to fit your school’s Prom theme.

Here are some creative examples to get you started.
