10 Reasons Why Custom Printed Shirts For Your Small Business Is A Good Investment

Seeing your logo out there can make your business feel more real, the perfect way to get your name out there for the world to see.

As one of the simplest forms of marketing, custom-printed t-shirts can be a worthwhile investment for your business. Need further convincing?

Here are 10 reasons why you should invest in printed t-shirts for your business. 

1. They are low cost

Investing in some custom printed shirts for your business can be very affordable. Depending on how many you order, the cost per unit can be small, providing excellent value. Once you’ve got the design in place, you can simply make repeat orders, instead of having to have them designed each time.

When done right, your custom t-shirts will look professional and high-quality, making them money well spent for your business.

2. They are the perfect promotion

T-shirts with your business logo are essentially a walking billboard. After the initial cost of purchase, you’ve got rolling free advertising when your employees wear them and whenever they’re seen elsewhere. It’s a fantastic way of getting your logo and branding out there to provide maximum visibility.

When your team is out on the job, printed tees can be great promotion for people looking to hire your services. Invest in some custom painting company shirts, or shirts for whatever industry you work in, and start spreading the message.

3. They are effective uniforms

When it comes to running a business, having uniforms for your employees not only helps ensure a consistent look for all your workers, but provides a sense of unity too. Many employees prefer to have a uniform as it reduces the ‘what should I wear to work’ dilemma, and it makes everyone equal. A t-shirt is a comfortable, easy form of uniform that will help your employees communicate your brand easily. You can even add supplementary items likes hoodies or jackets in case things get chilly in your workplace. 

For your customers, having custom printed shirts allows your employees to be easily visible, helping them approach the right people for help. This kind of visibility is ideal in retail and leisure spaces and can make sure your customers get help with queries and questions quickly.

4. They make a great giveaway

While having company logo t-shirts is great for internal purposes, they can also be a very useful promo giveaway. People love a free t-shirt, and an attractive design can even become a must-have item. People wear promo t-shirts to the gym, while out running and for all kinds of other purposes, helping to generate free advertising and getting your business seen by a wider audience.

You could even give some to clients as a way to remember your business!

5. They can help you develop brand recognition

Brand recognition is important for businesses; it’s what sets you apart from your competition. As people become more familiar with your brand, they’ll be more likely to engage with you, make purchases, which will hopefully lead to an increase in your market share.

It has been said that just unconsciously seeing something in the background (like your logo) several times will start to cause a favorable sentiment towards it without really knowing why. Humans love familiarity and when the time comes to make a decision, they are more likely to chose a company they "have seen somewhere before", even if they don't know where.

6. They’re ideal for corporate events

If you tend to host a lot of corporate events or have a presence at conferences and trade shows, having company shirts with your logo will be very beneficial. They can be a conversation starter when people approach your stand, and they can provide some promotion as employees wander around the venue.

Attending conferences and trade shows can be different to your usual day-to-day work, so unifying your team through branded t-shirts will help to build some camaraderie.

7. They can help boost morale amongst your employees

It’s important to make sure your employees are happy and healthy. Happy employees are likely to be more productive, and show company loyalty too. The great thing about branded t-shirts is that they are more fun than typical company uniforms, helping to bring everyone together. This can instill more confidence in your workers and make them feel better equipped to uphold your company’s values.

8. You could profit from them

Another benefit to wholesale screen printed t-shirts is that you can sell them. For many companies (fitness companies, restaurants, etc.), branded t-shirts can be a popular item for people to buy, helping to generate some extra revenue for your business. Keep them located where people can see them to encourage impulse buys at the counter.

9. They’re customizable 

What’s great about custom business t-shirts is that they can be customized to your exact requirements. As well as including your branding and business information, they can also be matched to your company colors, and can feature employees’ names too. The amount of customization is up to you, helping you to create t-shirts that are completely unique to your business. 

Adding employee names or nicknames adds a fun twist, ideal for landscaping company shirts or other teams where you have multiple people on the job.

10. They’re easy to produce

Custom printed t-shirts are easy and quick to produce, which means you can benefit from a short turnaround time to get yours ready. Once you’ve chosen your design, simply place your order for screenprinting and wait for your custom items to arrive. 

Are you ready to create your own custom printed tees?

With so many great reasons to invest in printed tees for your business, why not start today? Ordering your custom shirts is easy and you could soon equip your whole team with their own company t-shirts. Here are some tips to get you started:

How will they be used?

Before you begin to look at designs for your printed tees, you need to consider what they’ll be used for. Are you looking for printed tees for your landscaping company to wear on-site? Or perhaps you’re a retail store looking for employee t-shirts? Consider the purpose of your shirts to make sure you’re ordering what you need.

If you plan on benefiting from the promotional aspect of printed tees, you’ll want to think about the information to be included on them to make sure they’re effective for your marketing purposes.

Decide on your design

Designing your branded t-shirt can be a fun task, but it’s important that you take some things into account. Firstly, more colors will mean more work for screenprinting, so you might want to stick to one or two colors for your design. You also need to make sure it is visible and isn’t overly stretched on the t-shirt itself.

The best way to ensure the right design for your t-shirt is to work with a graphic designer. They’ll be able to use their knowledge and experience to help you create the ideal design that will reflect your brand and look fantastic.

Consult your employees

If you want to create a custom t-shirt that works for your business, why not ask for input from your employees? They’ll be the ones wearing them and will be able to feed into the design, the fit and more. You could even present them with a couple of design options and ask them to pick their favorites! 

How many you need?

It’s important to get your quantities right. While you’ll pay less per unit for large-scale order, you could end up with more than you need. Assess your budget and how many units each member of your team is going to need. They’ll definitely need more than one, especially if they’re going to be wearing them every day. If you need painting company t-shirts, or t-shirts for a construction firm, for example, you’re going to need to keep some in stock as they’ll get worn quickly. 

The great thing about screenprinting is that you can always reorder once you run out of stock, helping you get the most out of your design.

Once you have your design in place and you know how many you want, you can place your order! In 2022, we moved to an upgraded facility in Suwanee, GA to ensure the highest quality prints and fastest turnaround in the Atlanta Region!
