Affordable Embroidered Uniforms - Advertise your business

Hi,
After browsing the forum, I noticed that a lot of you are looking for ways to promote your business, Uniforms are a great way to do this, most of our customers ask for their phone numbers/website addresses embroidered onto the back of their tops, this is a great way to get your name and services known, and it costs a lot less than you might think!
Why not email me at [email="teneric@elegantdesignservices.co.uk"]teneric@elegantdesignservices.co.uk[/email] with how many tops you require the type of top and the text/logo you would like to display, and I will send you a no obligation personalised quote.
[b]Discounts will be offered to Teneric Forum members![/b]
So why do you need a uniform?
[b]Improved company image [/b]
Your employees are an embodiment of your company. If they project a clean, professional appearance, you will be perceived as a quality organization, up there with the nation's leaders.
[b]Company advertising[/b]
Putting logos/emblems phone numbers and website addresses on your employees' uniforms creates name recognition. Name recognition builds awareness and credibility to attract new customers.
[b]Identification/security[/b]
For your customers, uniforms provide a sense of security, because authorised company personnel are easily identified. In addition, within your premises, unauthorised outsiders stand out in contrast to uniformed staff. Finally, employees are less likely to act unprofessionally when they're identifiable.
[b]Build team spirit, morale and productivity [/b]
Uniforms give your employees a group identity. Creating a team attitude encourages cooperation and a willingness to work together to achieve goals.
[b]An added employee benefit[/b]
Wearing a uniform each day saves personal expense, inconvenience and aggravation. These employee benefits can be used to counter wage increases.
I Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Michael Turner

Hi and thank you for the welcome.
As I mentioned in my post uniforms can be used to promote your business name, when in contact with customers/public people will see your logo and your company name becomes familiar with them at the end of the day you have to wear clothes why not publicise you own company rather than someone else’s.
Lets face it the majority of small businesses offer great services/products, the problem a lot of us have is getting people to hear of us and lets face it when looking for a product or service and you come across two or more companies who do you contact first - normally the one you have heard of, purchasing a uniform and putting your logo and number on it is a lot cheaper than placing an advert.
A number of different companies can benefit from having a uniform and I am not in anyway suggesting that it is suitable for every company, as a business person it is your job to work out if wearing a uniform is going to benefit you, for example if you are in an office all day and have no physical contact with your customers then there is not much point wearing a uniform with your Logo, services and or phone number listed as no one will see it.
To be totally honest with you, you are the first person I have spoke to that has not seen the point of a uniform advertising their company, perhaps this is because you see no benefits for your particular company, I would be very interested in hear your opinions on this perhaps there are others with this point of view and there may be something I can do to show there is, or at least know that people in your particular field will not be interested in a uniform and know that any marketing campaigns would be wasted in that field.
Numerous different companies use embroidered uniforms, private hire, Computer Engineers, Network Engineers, Plumber, Electricians, Race Teams, Clubs, Pubs, Mobile DJ's, Aerial Repair and Installers, Couriers and cleaners. As you can see most of these companies are actually offering services and visit sites, however we also get companies that have there staff wear uniforms in the office because they don’t want there staff wearing Shirt and Ties anymore but don’t want there staff turning up in any old clothes so wearing a polo shirt with their company logo looses the formal wear but still comes across as professional if anyone visits the office.
As mentioned above I would be interested in hearing you thoughts, as these could be very beneficial in promoting my company in the future.
Kind Regards
Michael Turner

Hello,
My company currently uses uniforms, but we have noticied that the polo shirts we have used in the past (with our current supplier) seem of be of low quality, and fade very quickly.
I will email you with regards to a quote.
thanks

Hi Michael,
Your area of business is crying out for a brochure site. Perhaps with multiple product views or dynamic "preview" functionality. Have you had any quotations for this? If you do have a website, you need to be shouting about it on this forum.
Incidentally we are likely to be looking for simple uniforms for a small number of staff, we also produce and host websites and ebusiness systems. Perhaps we could assist each other.
Regards
