Supplementing Sales with Promotional Products
Promotional products are a popular way to promote a business. As a custom T-shirt business, we have access to the top promotional products used! According to studies done by PPAI (Promotional Products Association International), wearables are the highest promotional product used at 41%. That means you don’t have to outsource promotional products.
Half of the amount of people receiving promotional products prefer to receive items that can be worn, such as T-shirts, caps, and jackets. Bags and briefcases are a close second with 46% of people preferring to receive these items. With just a T-shirt heat press and custom heat transfers, you can print these highly sought after custom promotional products.
Promotional products are a fantastic way to promote your own custom T-shirt business. What better way to promote your business by giving away samples of your very own work? Pens and flashlights are great, but they don’t show what you can create for your customers. T-shirts, caps, jackets, and bags do show your customers what you can make for them.
Not only do these items show your very own work, but you can print your own promotional products for a very low cost. Any time you order custom screen printed transfers and have empty space left on your sheet, you can be adding your own logo to fill the transfer sheet. That way, when it comes time to print some promotional products, you have plenty of logos in various colors and sizes to use. The best part? They didn’t cost you a penny! Fill our screen printed transfer sheets for the same price, no matter how many images you can fit.
For the items you choose to print, you can always use up some extra inventory that you never printed that has been laying around your shop. If you need to, order some extra T-shirts, caps or bags. We have plenty of inexpensive wholesale blank apparel options to choose from in the Transfer Express Apparel line.
Transfer Express offers a wide variety of bags, caps, visors, T-shirts, aprons, and more.
Not only should you be printing your own promotional products, but you also have the opportunity to be printing promotional products for all the businesses in your local community. The statistics on our infographic may help you sell to some of your local businesses:
