Hey guys.. Ive been working in the office by myself this week as everyone is off for the weekend and Haley had to go up to CT. So I'm not in LA this week as i usually am. Big difference working in the office again, taking orders and answering phones. Its been hard getting stuff done in LA since I'm here in the office as well. But my production manager out in LA takes care of stuff when I'm not there..
We do have the long awaited Glitter Shirts, Lightning shirts and also the first of the new series we have named the Colored Lava Collection. The first color is a black shirt with red Lava. Its amazing, probably one of the nicest shirts we have, I cant wait to see other colors. All 3 of these are again a first in the Blank world. All 3 can be printed in any way including discharge!!
Anyway, we have some here now, just have to get some good photos for the website. We got a new Canon 40D and will be doing a photo shoot soon, I hope. Speaking of, if anyone has any professional canon lenses, especially any "L" lenses, please let us know, we are looking to buy or trade for some nice lenses.
Back to the shirts. A good customer got a sneak peak at these new shirts and bought half the stock on the spot.. We do still have some as of now and will have more soon.
A lot of companies are slow right now, but because of our great customers, we are as busy as ever. We pride ourselves on making the best shirts, money is no object when making sure these are the best we can make. As well as supporting our country and economy and making all our shirts here in the USA, employing American workers. We want our customers to stand out, stand apart from the other brands out there. Those brands that are using Alstyle and American Apparel, even Alternative apparel, these are all companies our customers have been switching from to us. They are selling more shirts and for a higher price than before. A few examples: One customer was selling his shirts (our blank with his printing) and was also selling other name brand shirts, namely TapOut, one of his customers wasn't sure which shirt to buy so he let the customer hold both shirts, he showed them to the girlfriend and mother and decided to buy the vendors brand and not the TapOut shirt. His customer told him there was no comparison in quality and feel. That same customer later came back (the next day) and brought more people with him to buy more of the shirts, saying "These feel like my old comfy shirt I have had for 10 years".
Another one of our customers had some customers in their store when they got their first shipment from us. They opened it and one of the customers noticed them holding up one of the Black Lava shirts. He came over to check it out and ended up offering to buy the whole box without any printing, saying he loves shirts with no brand or big name or logo printed on them and these were the nicest shirts he had ever seen. To this day our customer still sells the blank shirts retail without printing on them and for $24.99.
Those are a few examples of the advantageous relationship we have with our customers. We provide them with a unique high quality shirt and they sell them, they make money and come back to me to buy more. It seems simple doesn't it?? But a lot of the big over produced blank brands want to put out the cheapest shirt possible and they have so many people who want a 1.00 or 2.00 shirt that they don't care to have this kind of relationship with their customers. We are a family owned and run small business and we are able to give that personal attention and service our customers deserve.
I will be working on getting the site updated with the new styles, photos and info.
Also we are working on some international distribution. We want to offer our customers in other countries a way to purchase shirts easily. We sell all over the world, but it isn't always easy for these customers to purchase small quantities.
Our first will be Canada. We do a lot of business there. We are working with a former customer to start keeping stock up there for easy purchase.
If anyone would be interested in doing or helping with distribution and or trade shows, please email me.are also hopping to custom website running in the next few months. This website was ok to start, but we have outgrown it. We need a custom look and feel. Also there are some problems with this site I would like to fix. These fixes would make it easier for you guys to order. Mostly not having to go back to put different colors and sizes of the same style in you cart. That takes a long time and this will be fixed. Also being able to see what is in stock and if its out of stock when there might be more in.. So keep a look out for that.
Last but not least, we have some shirts to put on clearance. These are shirts that we made for s customer who after placing the order fell on hard times. So I want to sell these shirts at a reduced rate so I can give this guy back his money. These were custom made to be a little shorter than our regular shirts. About 1", but same width. The price is very good and you cant get a high quality garment dyed 30 single shirt anywhere for this kind of price. Its below my cost! Also below, you can buy a group of mens XS (extra small) shirts. We get asked for these sometimes, we made a few that aren't dyed yet. Email me if interested.
Basically, I am going to paste this info I sent via email to some other people.
Please, if you need any of this or can help, let me know. I would like to help this guy. Thanks
