Custom Hats

Custom made promotional screen printed and embroidered hats giveaways are one the best promotional products around, along with custom printed towels and t shirts, these are items that tend to stay with the recipient longer. Which means the tend to use it more often. There are many ways to decorate a hat the most cost effective way is to screen print the hat using transfers. To make the hat look more classy, embroidery is used on the hats, this tends to be a bit more costly but looks fanatic on the hats. The other way to fully customize a hat from the patterned material to off the way designs that cover some parts of the hat including the bill and inside of the hat. The cool thing about customizing the entire hat is that you can get as creative as you want and using all kinds of different decoration processes like piping, different color fabrics, screen printing
Embroidery, patches, etc. giving you full control of what the hat will look like. You can even choose from many fasteners for the back. This only draw back is the quantity that is required to make these. Since the hat is fully customized there needs to be a minimum of 1,000 and in some cases more in order to fulfill the order. All this applies to all styles of hats including trucker and fitted hats.

Below are some wild custom hat designs. These hats are already pre-made and sold by Lids®, but you can get a rough idea of what you can do.

Converting Raster to Vector

2008-07-07T21:19:00.000-07:00

With fast-pace of business it's hard and some times annoying to keep tracking of file format when you're trying to finish a project on a strict dead line. The worst thing is hearing that the file format you have submitted does not work and does not meet the printing criteria. What can you do? Well the only thing you can do is get the right format and that means going through many channels and departments of group of designers that have already started working on someone else’s project or can not get you the necessary artwork format until next week. How can you do your job when you have to depend on other? The best thing to do is always have a backup artist that is on-call. Here’s where I come in and actual become part of your team.

When I worked at one of Southern California’s promotional marketing distributor I had to literally work on some other top graphic artist’s artwork from some of the major movie studios in Hollywood and universities. These are multi-million fortune 500 companies that had departments upon departments of designer and marketing agents and could not submit usable artwork for some of the simple list single color printed products. Instead of having the customer go back and talk to their graphic artist which where already working on other projects meant that they had to wait at least a day which was considered a fast turn around. Which meant our production time was crushed down an additional day. When you’re trying to print thousands of products in less than a week including delivery for an event that same weekend, one day made all the difference. Instead we were able to convert the raster images to vector file format that were usable within the hour and getting that artwork approved and at the printers in less than two hours saving us the hassle of possibility of something going wrong in the printing process and wasting valuable production time.

Time is money, projects need to be finished and having an artist that can be convert raster to vector images can be a life saver. Raster to vector service is great for two reasons. One, your printed order can proceed to the next stage of printing and two, you have prevented this mistake to happen again.

Light up fabrics

2008-01-31T14:48:00.000-08:00

The company Philips has just introduced a new fabric which integrates LED lights into the actual fabric which light up. This fabric was engineered for the promotional products industry and will allow customers to custom design their own message to the garments. This will include fabrics for couches, hats, T-shirts, jacket and much more products that are made using fabrics. Like I had mentioned in my previous post last year most companies are moving forward into the digital age. Everything is going digital and custom programming will be required more and more in the future instead of graphic designers. Even though you may steal need a graphic designer to lay out the final design they will need to work together with an engineer to properly manufacture the final product. 2008 will bring us more lit up products to help the promotional industry step into a new era of marketing. Like everything else the price will probably be high rather than low but throughout the year I'm sure the product price will drop quickly.

2008-01-14T10:56:00.000-08:00

Marketing plan resolutions for the new year is “Fresh”. Creativity is taking over this year, more and more companies are bringing the artistic visions mixed with fresh ideas and traditional tricks with a twist of technology to market their new products or simply revamp their corporate identity. Innovation is the key for upcoming marketers. New channels to reach your audience have come to light and a change of thought is required to stay alive in marketing and in business. It seems that people are starting to abandon the TV, Magazines, and Newspaper for the all free and on demand information found on the internet. According to the US Marketing Executives by client’s budget television will take the biggest hit in the next couple of years with internet being the least to be effected. If you’re a large company and have fail to jump on the internet wagon then be ready for an upset in the next couple of years. Small companies with knowledge of the internet are beginning to exceed and destroy their competitions by seeing the picture and explore and try new ways for marketing themselves in what’s hot! Of course not to say that the internet will die, but if you open you do a little bit of research and see the big picture you will always be ahead of the competition.

The combination of the internet and wireless devices are the way to go. Review your budget for marketing and promotions this year and plan to go digital. Popular websites like Yahoo, google, MSN, Youtube, Myspace will be your solution for surviving. Stay Alive!

Christmas Promotional Products

2007-12-10T21:27:00.001-08:00

Christmas promotional products had have a 50/50 effect towards your company, be careful how you choose to promotions during the holiday season. The reason being is that not all your customers celebrate Christmas, so be sure to aware yourself of their religion believes or choose a marketing plan that will satisfy your promotions and prevent you from offending customers. Be sure to send something simple and generic like a postcards that reads” Happy Holidays” using your company colors. Other another option is sending Holiday Season coupons before the Holidays begin. What ever you do be sure to keep it generic and simple.

Digital Promotional Products

2007-10-25T10:08:00.001-07:00

Everything is going digital. It seems that more and more companies are realizing the importance of real estate in promotional products, instead of having one static imprint why not have an animated digital message in your promotional item? More customization can be done when it done digitally. For example USB Drives have a flash screen that pops up every time you insert it in a computer. Portable screen printed mp3 players have the ability to program message in the display screen and don’t forget about the other non digital but electric promotional products for example paper thin signs that can ne applied to the side of a car, light up necklaces, digital cameras that imprint your logo on each picture you take. Also digital business cards, postcards and other handouts are not far from become main stream with the entire world, they say we live in the digital age witch I believe we’re not all there but it’s jus around the corner. Just the other I was driving down the freeway here in Southern California and notice that a couple of the traditional billboards have been converted into digital billboards, so now instead of showing one ad for a month they’re should multiple ads while you drive pass them. Also I’ve seen video ads or posters placed at the malls that even have sound.

Keep and eye open for what it hot and unique, but remember that traditional ways will continue to work best for example sales calls & meetings. Remember traditional promotional products will forever stay the same like screen printed pens, garments and brochures.

Digital Printing

2007-08-12T14:00:00.001-07:00

The digital revolution is quickly over taking many of traditional decoration methods. From engraving to laser engraving, from traditional hand embroidery to quick impact 3D stitching and now from screen printing to digital direct to garment printing. At this point the digital printing has not reached the speed of which you print garments. Traditional screen printing and automatic printing is still the fasted best way to get print t shirts. I’m guessing in the future the print for printing be reduced down a lot in price because there will be no screen to shot, film to print out, no chemical to buy. Direct to garment is the future of decoration. Traditional printing will still be around but digital printing will dominate in about 5 years with printer being faster and inks being more durable.

Freelance Illustrator Shane Stover

2007-06-27T19:21:00.000-07:00

Shane Stover may not have a lot of free time on his hands, but it's a safe bet that you'll always know where to find him. Chances are Stover is in one of three locations: the classroom, the baseball field, or at home, perfecting his artistic talents. The SF State senior and baseball standout not only excels on the diamond, but also in the art room, making both the bat and the pencil an equally precise tool in his hands.
In this his final year of collegiate sports eligibility; Stover is on a course to graduate this spring with a degree in art with a focus on drawing and painting. "I chose SF State for both the baseball and the art," said Stover. "I liked the way the baseball team looked and there was a lot of stuff to do as far as the art goes."
Stover is a year-round baseball player, participating in summer leagues once the SF State season comes to a close. He dedicates anywhere from three to five hours a day on baseball and the training that goes along with the sport. Balancing a full load of units, including evening classes, with weight lifting, running, batting practice, and mandatory team meetings is a strenuous task in itself. Throw in the time put aside to work on his art, and you can see that the life of this student athlete is anything but glamorous.

Originally from San Luis Obispo, Stover is in his second year at SF State. He has also studied at Cal Poly and Alan Hancock Junior College, playing baseball for both schools. Combining his love for both baseball and art in a learning environment, Stover has set a path for himself which will allow for him to have multiple choices in career opportunities.
When speaking of other student athletes that he knows, Stover stressed that often times the talent and quality of these individuals is overlooked. "A lot of athletes work hard at their sport and care so much about their sport, but then they also have to go to school, and factor in all the other little things that everyone else has to do," said Stover. "It takes a ton of time and commitment, and besides sports they have other lives too," he said.

Stover has had a Web site up and running since he was in high school. Here, people can browse through a small assortment of his pieces and purchase signed prints of the artist's work. Athletes are some of Stover's favorite subject matter, with prints of Steve Young, Barry Bonds, and Michael Jordan for sale on his site. Other interesting prints are of Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator, Jim Carrey as The Mask, and a particular piece which Stover is proud of, a Robert Redford pencil drawing.

Color pencil and airbrush are the preferential mediums for Stover, yet he does not limit himself to just those two tools. He also dabbles in painting and recently has added clay sculpture to his repertoire. Stover is often commissioned to do everything from family portraits to murals, and gets anywhere from $35 for his prints to several hundred dollars for his finished originals. He has been featured in a few art shows in the San Luis Obispo area and has received scholarships and other accolades for his contributions. Periodicals such as the San Luis Obispo New Times and the Telegram Tribune have run featurettes on the artist/athlete.
Stover credits his father as a major influence in shaping his talents, both as an athlete and as an artist. "I was just like every other kid I guess," said Stover. "I would play catch with my dad all the time so it (baseball) grew into what I love to do." An avid baseball fan, Stover's father also was a photographer for the San Francisco Giants.

Devoting nearly an entire day to his passions, Stover admittedly does not go out very often. Instead he chooses to stay in and hone the skills that he hopes will one day carry him to even bigger and better things. "I go straight from class to practice and then straight home to work on my art," said Stover.

With influences ranging on the artistic side from Leonardo da Vinci to Norman Rockwell and on the athletic side from Michael Jordan to Barry Bonds, Stover realizes that you must study the best to be the best. "I'm not real into the artsy-fartsy abstract art," said Stover. "I'm a big people watcher, so I like portraits and people a lot."

If asked to choose between art and baseball, Stover reluctantly would choose baseball. Even though his art is just as important to him, realistically he sees that the financial payoff is far greater in the professional baseball world. "Right now I'm playing baseball, and if nothing happens then I'll be an artist and I'll find a way to make it work," said Stover.
"I've been drawing forever; since I was in elementary school," he said. "Even back then I knew that this is something that I want to do, and I want to make a living out of it."
Stover works equally hard at his two loves, art and baseball. The time and commitment he sets aside to pursue his goals are no doubt a testament to what this young man hopes will be an inevitable encounter with success. "I gotta take over left field for the Giants; I mean Barry Bonds is getting kind of old," said Stover.

"If I could I would love to get drafted and play professional baseball; all the while I could still do my art," said Stover. "I want to be successful with my art, I want to make money, and I don't want to be no starving artist. Success for me will also come from people liking my work," he said.

If You Draw It...Shane Stover's field of dreams involves both baseball and art. by Marc Aceves, sports editor November 17, 2003 01:56 PM

Something that came out before it's time is digital business cards. These business cards come in a shape and size of a regular paper business card. One side is the print side and the other is a CD or DVD surface where data can be programmed and burned directly on the CD like business cards and fits all computers with pop out CD drives. Everything from video to animation to audio can be programmed into these mini CD business cards. with time i believe these will be coming back.

Face From Space -talk about BRANDING.

2007-05-08T06:28:00.000-07:00

Greetings Earthling. My name is Carmelo owner of a website named www.SilverStudio.org. In todays post we take a look at creative marketing.

It's important to your business's lively-hood to have an advertising campaign so it's up to you to come up with good ideas on how to brand your services (unless you have cash, in which case, you can buy someone to be creative for you, but not you --you have the brain power to do it yourself). Take a look at an old pro, and perhaps this will get YOUR creative juices flowing. By-the-way, the topic of today's post is:

Don't let your company become stagnant.

Almost everyone [read: everyone] knows what KFC stands for right [Kentucky Fried Chicken!]?

Companies are doing everything possible in order to avoid becoming stagnant -as should you. Kentucky Fried Chicken is a prime example. Besides revamping their logo (see the Colonel's new apron?) this company has made a conscious decision NOT TO BECOME STAGNANT. Take a look at their newest marketing campaign -"THE FACE FROM SPACE"

Not only are they being creative with their BRANDING they are also creating a buzz about how they are. At their website you'll be able to view the logo yourself from satellites, view a quick capture of the HUGE logo construction, and take part in some of their BRANDING CAMPAIGN by asking you to look for the hidden message in their logo (I found it, can you?).

The Colonel Sanders logo was built in the Area 51 desert near Rachel, Nevada, the "UFO Capital of the World," on the world's only Extraterrestrial Highway. Get your creative juices flowing and you too can create an out of this world marketing campaign.

KFC is keeping it fresh.

T Shirt Design n Printing Tips

2007-05-04T10:20:00.000-07:00

Alright, so you're ready to promote on t shirts using a silkscreen printing process but you don't know where to begin. The first you have to keep in mind is how the pricing works. In most cases the price will vary according to the total t shirts that are ordered. T shirt order are bough by dozens, but some companies may only offer you 24 piece minimum. In addition the price of the printing per t shirt is added to the final price. A set-up is also added per design, per color. So before you get all crazy designing your t shirt artwork be sure to keep in mind the cost of the shirt.

Here's a couple of t shirt ordering tips.

Know what color t shirts you're getting
Know how many shirts you're getting
know how many colors you're willing to print on the shirt and what locations on the shirt
Contact your local printer or us for a quote =)

T Shirt - Custom, Funny and Cool

2007-04-17T10:05:00.000-07:00

T shirts, we know they're great advertising for your company. How do you get people to wear your shirt more times than they're use to? Make them funny, cool and custom to a particular group or geographic location. Instead of simply screen printing your logo on the front of the shirt, think about putting it on the sleeve or small 6" wide on the back near the collar of the t shirt. In the front, screen print something awesome and cool that people you're targeting are will to wear often. for example, now, everyone is wearing the harsh distress artwork look. Print it and give it away. Let's say you're targeting a small a certain geographical location like Southern California. You can use something like "So Cal" and drop your logo on the sleeve or below the design. People are attracted to custom bold statements or creative cool t shirt designs.

New Business Note from Custom Promotional Products Blog

2007-04-10T09:41:00.000-07:00

I've seen businesses destroy themselves because their too afraid of loosing something. Whether it's money, employees or jobs & products. Just remember that you can not stop ocean waves from happening, but you can avoid the ship from tipping over and sinking. For all new business owners, do not absence over small failures, instead always turn and look at the big picture!

Online Marketing

2007-04-06T07:23:00.000-07:00

Is it worth it to promote and market online?

Yes, in some cases online marketing can be free! Advertise in local online directories or niche market. Find sites that will allow you to trade links with you. Find a niche web site and ask if you can be partners by offering their viewer your service and in return they get some sort of commission.

FREE! How does this help drive traffic?

I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't. Everyone loves free stuff so why not offer it through your physical location or online. Online free stuff is the best way to get lots of traffic. It doesn't have to be something physical it could be free audio of a report, templates, designs, information, tricks and tips, free information is what everyone is looking for. Take a step back and evaluate your product or service. How can you help people understand what you do or how it's done? Maybe you can provide them with a free video tour of your facility. The focus here is driving people to your web site so be sure you use some good keyword terms for the search engines to find you, don;t forget to use the word FREE!

Offering free stuff from a physical location may be harder on the marketing budget. Instead of giving away a promotional product like a printed t shirt or hat you may want to give away a service. For example, you own a tire and wheel shop; give them "FREE" Wheel Balancing. You may or may not already charge for this service but it is something it needs to get done as part of buying tires and rims. If own a restaurant you may want to offer free delivery for nearby residents or a small free side of food with each meal for the month of xx. Be creative, promote your free offers and if worse comes to worse you can always offer free t shirts and hats with your company name printed on them.

The Marketing Store

2007-03-19T12:02:00.000-07:00

I run a small retail shop in New Port Beach, What general products can i use to increase traffic?

Well, retail store are also very competitive. I'm guessing your shop is in a commercial business center along with other small shops. The best way to drive traffic is in your window displays. Not only show the products you're selling but be sure to put some signs that people can read when walking by. The sign needs to be large with short phrase, for example. "FREE Lotion with any purchase over $25". Another great marketing tip for your store is to advertise your store name on bags, receipts and employee uniforms. Again, word of mouth is the best advertising, so be sure to treat your customer with respect and make them feel comfortable while in your store. Having a theme to your store will make it fun.

For online retailers the thing i can say is SEO.

Hey Kevin, you're in luck! I actually specialize is logo design for new companies. I do simple text design, text and graphics logo, and complex logos. You can email me direct so we talk about it some more. design_firm@yahoo.com

Having a simple logo will make a world of difference when it comes to promotional and advertising. When a logo is too complex people have a hard time reading it from far and when they're moving / driving fast. Simple text logo will look great on promotional products and advertising. For example look at FEDEX's logo.

You can use promotional products on a small scale. You don't need to buy tons of giveaways. For example John is a photographer, how can he benefit from custom promo items?

Get screen printed t shirts with your name and "PHOTOGRAPHER" printed on the back of the shirt, this will show everyone you're the photographer when you're working on site.
Create package sample giveaway. Include some of your recent work along with a business card and maybe an coupon offer that you can give away to people while at the venue.
Be sure to leave plenty of business cards with the party that hired you so they can refer other people to you.
Keep in contact. Be sure to send a thank you card to recent customers. don't forget the business cards.
Be sure to have a web site with samples of your work. People want to see before they buy, very important.
When freelancing "Word of Mouth" is very important. Be sure to be professional at all times.

Business Presentation

2007-02-27T09:51:00.000-08:00

I'm getting off the subject of custom promotional products for a minute. I believe at this point everyone is aware that the Internet is the future of communication between company and client but why is it that some business fail to design their web site in a professional way? Some small business owner do not have luxury of paying a design firm to re-do their site. So as a graphic designer I'm going to give some basic tips that will enhance your site and make it more readable at a little more professional.

keep content in the middle of the browser screen. easier to navigate
Keep your text background white. when you read a book what color is the background? White. Unless it's a more fun web site you should stick with white background.
Use same font type and size throughout the entire site.
keep your buttons all in the same place through the site for easy navigation. Along the top or along the left side of the page are standard.
Have a header with your logo or nice graphic
Have a footer with similar links as your navigation menu.
Keep banner to a minimum
Keep photos to a minimum

The whole idea is to make it easy to navigate, easy to read, fast loading and very clean and organize. Keep those in mind and should have a nice looking web site.

Company Impressions

2007-02-25T21:03:00.000-08:00

The reason for promotional products is to throw your company name out there for more people to see, recognize and remember right? Then why only limit yourselves to physical products? Use banners to extend your awareness. Offer your visitors a free banner that they can post on their web site. In return you might want to give them a link from your web site to theirs. Some web site owners charge your to include an ad on their web site. Check with the web site owners before you design and create you digital banner.

Buzz Buzz Buzz

2007-02-20T18:33:00.000-08:00

Ok, small custom promotional products are great, one thing that I've notice is that large companies are television shows to raise awareness. Take for example Godaddy.com. They hired the popular Orange County Choppers to hire a bike. You can spend $100,000 on commercials or spend that money on a bike that you can raffle off and help your create a buzz around your company not to mention you company will be part of the show of a full hour. That's good advertising!

thanks rudeboytv from youtube.com

Ok, some of us may not have that kind of money in our marketing budget, but using your products and services can benefit your marketing. How? Raffles, Contests in selected events. For example your company tunes cars and manufacturers parts. On the next drift, drag or car show event you can promote a free tune performance package for that particular show, people fill out the form and place it in the box. Ok, now what? The strategies is not what to offer but how you can take advantage of it.

Before you show you let the events manager what you're doing and they may include that in the promotions flyer and website to bring more people. Boom, you just spread your logo and brand for free on those flyers. People can pre-register on your site which links to the events web site, boom you just collected email for your next promotion. People show up at the show and you have everyone fill out a form to register, boom you just collected mailing addresses, more emails and created buz buz about your company. At the end of the show you announce the winner, again the host of the show thanks your company letting everyone who you are and what you, another free exposure! Ok, you have a winner and he shows up at your door steps, Now what? You install selected products and tune the car. While the car is there you badge it by putting a large decal of your company's name, more exposure on the street!

You may have spent $2,000 worth of parts and labor, but you gain more recognition to a targeted audience. The trick here is to think outside the box and use one offer to extend your awareness and recognition to a larger niche audience.

Free Logo Desgin Information

2007-02-09T11:32:00.000-08:00

Free Logo Desgin Information

A corporate identity is the image which portraits a business or its services. Logo perpose is to generate a memorable, recognizable impression on the mind of a future clients or customer. The logo design is essentially at the heart of a corporate brand.
What can you call a good logo? Most customers would answer "I just know it when I see it!" and this isn't so far from the truth. A great logo design catches the eye, it makes the observer curious, if only for a short moment. There is three standard variations of logo designs, which can be used alone or mixed within 1 design.
Illustrative logo designs (A logo which clearly illustrates what your business does)
Graphic logo designs (Logo that includes a graphic, often an abstraction, of what your business provdies)
Font based logo designs (Font which represents your business)

Some logo designers prefer to create logo designs using fonts. Experimenting with fonts, effects, shapes they seek to find an interesting way to represent the company using the form of letters. Simplicity is super important, this is not the time to use fancy decorative photo filters. Whether alone or mixed with illustrative graphics, the text in a logo must be easily readable at far.

Creating a logo is always a step process, though different logo designers have their own ways. Many designers will begin by sketching thumbnails or playing with shapes on the computer screen, until it "CLICKS" and they follow that path to see where it leads. One way to start is to select a object which represents the concept of the company, and begin playing with it. The idea is to come up with something interesting or clever, whether a viewpoint which is different, or an unusual combination of objects. Perhaps it will be something which will require some guesswork on the part of the viewer, but clear when they look at it another way.
