How to Order Custom Transfers with Class Lists or Team Rosters
Jun/110
A customer from Michigan called last week wanting All Star shirts for several local leagues she had supplied uniforms. It is All Star season and this type of shirt is a best seller for leagues looking to recognize their all stars. Ordering a custom transfer with a list of names is easy!
If you are ordering a team roster we have many custom transfer layouts set up for easy online ordering. Just enter the team name or other personalization and type in the names where specified–Name 1 here, Name 2 Here, etc. Then just enter the quantity, color and size and submit.
If you are using a layout with a longer list or if your customer has sent you an electronic list of names there is no need to retype these. We have an area on our site to send name lists at www.transferexpress.com just click “Send us your artwork” The list of names should be in a single column, entered as you want them to be printed, for example Jimmy Smith, and saved in a .txt file. If you want to use this in an Easy Prints® layout, this can be noted in notes or you can submit all but the names through the online ordering just noted the names have been sent and include the reference number you received as confirmation.
Whether ordering online or sending us a name list to use in an Easy Prints layout, you get low Easy Prints pricing and same day shipping for 1 color orders placed before 11 am eastern. Good luck to all of your All Stars.

How to Use Easy View™ to Create Examples for Your Customers
May/110
Easy View™ is a great online design tool we created specifically for our dealers to create designs for tshirts and more. Using Easy View™, you can search through our thousands of layouts and you control the ink colors, text, fonts, and clipart for each and every layout you choose! Even better, you can save the customized layouts you create to your own computer. Print or e-mail these personalized layouts to show your customers to help close the sale. Having examples is always a great selling feature to help your customers visualize their designs rather than leaving it up to them to try to picture it in their minds. Not only does it help speed up the sales process with your customers, it is quick and easy to learn and use!
HOW TO DO IT:
For example, your customer, the city of Mentor, is having their annual Memorial Day Parade. Using Easy View™, we will show you how you can sell them the designs for t-shirts and more for the parade, doing it all online!
First, log into our web site using your Dealer ID and Password. After logging in, you have full access to Easy View™. By clicking on the “Idea Book Layouts” tab at the top, you can search our thousands of layouts.
At this point, you have chosen several layouts that fit the parade, and now you are ready to customize the layouts.
When we click on the thumbnail version of layout QHL-52, it automatically goes to Easy View™. We have determined that the layout is sufficient for our needs and are only going to change the Line 3 text from COMPTON to MENTOR. We are choosing to keep the same typestyle and clipart.
For our ink colors, we will show them a 2 color ink design using white as the primary ink color and royal as the secondary. These will be going on red shirts. Then, we simply click the Easy View button and our customized layout emerges in the preview window.

Now we will save this image so we can e-mail it to our customer. For PC users, we will right-click on our customized layout and select Save Picture As (MAC users will Control + click). Save the image with a name and location on your computer of your choice.
Right-click in the Easy View™ preview window to save your customized layout on your computer
Next, open your e-mail and click to open a new message. You may type your message before or after you attach the design for the parade. When you are ready to attach, most e-mail applications show a paperclip icon for attaching documents while also displaying some sort of text title. When you have found the attachment button, click to bring up the attachment dialog box. Browse your files until you find the saved parade design image.
Using the attachment button, click on your saved parade image to attach the file in the e-mail
You may attach as many images to your message as your e-mail provider will allow space for, some more and some less.
Tip: To create records of what you sent to the customer, click the “Printable” page for each design and print a copy for your records. You can also add these designs to your cart and “Save for later” when your customer decides on the design they want for their tshirts or other apparel.
It is that easy! You are now ready to send preview images to your customers with customized designs for their needs and events! Happy Easy View™-ing!
