Dealer Services — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:46:10 +0000

Have you seen the latest commercial from Dr. Pepper? In it they show many different people with their original custom phrases declaring who they are. You can do this too!

Dr. Pepper commercial with unique t-shirts

Those shown in the commercial use the Cooper font, a font available from Transfer Express, and layout QAL-2, two straight lines of text or QAL-153, three straight lines of text. To create your own, visit www.TransferExpress.com, login in, click “View Layouts” and enter QAL-2. Change the text to your original phrase, choose Cooper font, or any of over 100 fonts, and choose your shirt and ink color and view. There is your original phrase!

Use Easy View™ to preview your custom shirt

To order, enter your quantity and submit. If ordered by 11 am, your completed custom transfer ships the same day and you can have your own shirt heat pressed in just 4 seconds. Or if you are making just one shirt, use Express Names™! So are you a dreamer, a cougar, a beginner, a control freak, a fighter, a highlight, a wingman, a work of art, a rebel or a rock star? Whatever it is, you can create it, order it and wear it!

First Sneak Peek of Great Dane Designs To Create Your Custom Transfers

Dealer Services — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:30:59 +0000

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 18^th. 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.

All of the tools from the old site were moved to the new including the digital calculator, number calculator and image resizer. These are found in the heat transfer tab under resources.

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

Dealer Services — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:29:50 +0000

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?

Dealer Services — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:12:27 +0000

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

Dealer Services — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:15:10 +0000

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.

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.
