Outfitting Your Crew: Tough at Work, Easy on the Budget Key For Business

On a busy job site, the ability to quickly identify your crew is a necessity. But finding branded workwear that’s as tough as the work itself isn’t easy.

A quick Google search produces hundreds of big box stores and overseas manufacturers that can complicate the ordering process. Finding and vetting a quality apparel company is essential for equipping your team, but requires time (which we’re sure you have plenty of).

Working with the right apparel partner cannot only save you time, but also money. Features like no minimum orders allows you to keep less inventory on hand and only order the items you need when you need them. On the other hand, price breaks based on quantity allow you to outfit your entire crew with durable workwear for a lesser price than buying direct from brand names.

Before you settle for the first website your search results produce, use this quick list to ensure your apparel company can deliver on affordability and quality.

Minimum Orders

Finding the right workwear items online isn’t difficult. But it can be frustrating to make your way through an online apparel ordering process to realize that the minimum order for that item is out of budget. Working with an apparel partner with low or no minimum order quantities or prices allows for your exact needs to be met.

Ask these questions:

Is there a minimum order quantity?
If so, how many products do I have to order or how much do I have to spend?

Turnaround Time

The constant flux of a crew can create immediate needs for the appropriate workwear. However, keeping an excess of inventory can lead to unnecessary spending and outdated apparel. An apparel partner that can quickly produce the items you need can help save time and expense.

Ask these questions:

What is your average turnaround time for large orders?
How quickly can I see a proof of my custom apparel items?
What are your standard shipping times?

Reordering Process

Choosing the right company to purchase from is one feat, but when finding an ongoing partner, you need to ensure that the reordering process is simple and efficient. Companies that don’t track previous orders or allow you to access current artwork can cause unneeded complications. Search for someone who can streamline reorders making more time in your schedule.
