Custom screen printed t-shirts are something that are always exciting to receive and seeing vibrant colors on a t-shirt, is something everyone wants to preserve. Whether you are the one putting your company’s logo or your business apparel design, everyone wants their t-shirts to stay crisp and vibrant. Here are some wise tips as to how to care for your custom screen printed t-shirts and keep them looking fresh.

Whenever you wash your custom printed t-shirt, make sure that you turn your shirt inside out when washing and drying. This will help preserve the ink and prevent it from rubbing against other things in the washer and dryer. Try to wash your custom tees in cold water, this is a prime step in keeping the ink good. You also don’t want to use any harsh laundry detergents that are really strong. You want to stick to using mild laundry detergents, so that your ink can live out its fullest potential. 

Another good habit to create when washing custom screen printed tees is to tumble dry your shirts. If you are willing to take the extra mile, hanging them to dry is the best option. Another step to keeping shirts preserved for a long time is to order from a company that does quality work with quality ink and materials. If a company uses cheap ink and printing methods, then the ink may not last very long. Here at TakeHold Screen Printing and Embroidery, we offer premium printing methods. We use the best ink that money can buy. Our ink last the lifetime of a shirt, and we can assure you of that.

When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, everyone gets a feeling of helplessness. The nature of this illness is sobering. And research has shown patients with cancer often show improvement when they have positive and supportive people around them. Show how much you care by wearing custom design t-shirts to support a Nashville loved one with cancer. 

Support for the Cause

Wearing custom design t-shirts with cancer slogans and logos helps support the cause. For example, when people see a pink ribbon, they instantly think of breast cancer. And childhood cancer is represented by a gold ribbon while a dark blue ribbon is a symbol of colon cancer. A lavender ribbon is a sign for all types of cancer. Adding a ribbon to a custom tee shows you care about people who have cancer. It encourages others to think about them, too, and offer a helping hand.

Choosing a Charity

Often people support a certain charity when they find out a loved one has cancer. There are various charities dedicated to men, women, and children who are struggling to survive cancer. Many of these non-profit organizations are devoted to cancer research and treatment. They provide solutions to the patients and their loved ones. Having this level of assistance makes a huge difference when someone has cancer. Wear t-shirts that promote your favorite cancer charity to encourage others to make donations to a good cause, too.

Team Patient

Rally together and put together a team of supporters for the patient. The more love and help, the better the chance the patient will get through having cancer and have hope for the future. Make custom design t-shirts that read “Team [Name of the Patient].” Visit the person you love and wear the custom tees. It will be a definite reminder that you are all there to help. And these are perfect tees to give away if you host a charitable event to raise money for your loved one. 

Add Color

A special t-shirt can be as simple as choosing the ribbon color that pertains to the person's cancer. Add the person's name to the front of the shirt. Include an uplifting slogan that supports kicking cancer and embracing life. The effective use of color can offset a minimal design for those who prefer a basic shirt that anyone will feel comfortable wearing. 

Marketing T-Shirts for a Cause

There is no better cause to promote that asking people to be there for your loved one. When somebody is dealing with cancer, they often feel alone and anxious. Market t-shirts at local stores and businesses. Let people in the neighborhood know about the situation and encourage them to tell others. Host benefits to raise money for little extras. Consider using the proceeds to take the patient on vacation to boost his or her spirits. 

Be Creative

Work with a professional team to design creative t-shirts that won't break your budget. Talk to everybody to get imaginative and supportive ideas. Get inspiration by visiting cancer charity websites and personal sites created by other cancer survivors. Spread a message of love and hope, so your loved one feels this beautiful energy. With the right medical care and ongoing support, people can survive cancer and feel hopeful about the future. 

Let us help you create the perfect tee to show your loved one how much he or she means to you. Order tees in small batches or broad groups based on how far you intend to spread the word.

More than 80% products are sold on Easter as compared to other holidays. Everyone likes something new to celebrate the holiday and spring season. Companies also find a great opportunity to sell more on Easter. And that is the reason we see too many sales on shopping malls and other online sites during this season. It's an ideal time to design cheap custom tees for Easter business promotions in Nashville. 

Cheap custom tees for Easter can help boost your business if done right. Below are some recommendations on how you can design interesting shirts for Easter. 

Choose Enticing Spring Colors

First, you have to choose an appealing color for your Nashville business promotional shirts. Consider various shapes and designs that reflect your business logo and seasonal marketing goals.  Images of eggs, flowers, bunnies, and other springtime favorites are ideal for this holiday.

Pastel colors are popular for Easter and springtime. If your logo uses dark colors, try to find complementary pastel versions to bring a fresh feeling to your cheap custom tees.  Consider pale yellows, light blues, pastel pinks,  and shades of green.

Select a Comfortable Fabric

Fabrics make a difference when it comes to design custom tees. Cotton and blends of cotton with polyester are washable, wearable, and comfortable. Select a light fabric for the spring, as the weather heats up quickly in Nashville.

Also, the fabric should feel soft and be breathable. T-shirts with cotton are always preferable as the weather heats up. If the shirt feels and looks good, it will become an advertisement for your business beyond the Easter season.

Choose the Right Shape

There are two choices for this. You can design a shirt that is fitted loosely or you can design a fit shirt. The shape should be aligned with your target market.  And it should fit into their lifestyles.  Do they wear tees to work, or the local park? Would they prefer a trendy short tee or a cozy long one? Teens often like shorter t-shirts while the older generation wants something a bit longer.

If your target market is comprised of health buffs, a tight-fitting shirt will sell well. But if you are targeting family-oriented customers, the loose-fitting will be the right option. Have a variety of sizes available so people can choose what they prefer. For example, an oversize tee often makes a terrific nightshirt. And if it winds up at a sleepover, it will be a promotion for your business!

Create a Unique Design

Your shirt should have unique designs. People easily get tired of common designs, especially those that have been trending for years. Create designs that that customers of different ages and walks of life can relate to and enjoy wearing.

Everyone has a different choice so always prepare designs that fit the culture. Just keep the colors balanced with the designs. Use contrast as colors could make or break customers’ decisions.  And colors also inspire emotions, such as greens and pastels that bring your thoughts to springtime fun.

Finally, dare to be original and bold. Catchy slogans about Easter and spring make your business more memorable. If your target market appreciates humor, add a whimsical touch to your tees. If they prefer a meaningful statement, develop something compelling. And give tees out during Easter and spring events, such as eggs hunts and jellybean counting. 

Let our professionals help you design the right tees for Easter and springtime promotions. From tulips and softballs to ladybugs and trees, there is a myriad of options that are sure to reflect the preferences of your target market.

Although we are all unique individuals, there are times when there is a need to be united to a front, especially in sports. This is why it is not uncommon for us to see many Nashville bowling teams wearing the same uniform. It allows them to represent their team. Each then becomes part of a larger whole. You see them take group pictures and see the happy faces, even if the team did not get the championship award. But why exactly do we need to use team shirts on bowling leagues and other sports events? Consider the need for cheap custom-made tees to boost bowling team morale in Nashville.

It Provides the Right Impression to Team Members

When team members join you, whether they spend their own money or the shirts are sponsored, it provides the impression that they belong to a group that takes care of its own. A shirt is clothing, which is a basic human need. Giving away shirts to the team members fosters an environment of trust and confidence to the organization.

Gives a Sense of Belonging

To newcomers, and even to tenured team members, a uniform shirt allows them to identify to a group that is bigger than themselves. Imagine how one person could have a feeling of being alienated if surrounded by other teams wearing a uniform shirt and he isn’t wearing one of his own. This person is likely to get fazed and lose his focus on the game.

A team shirt provides an environment of solidarity and unity between all of the participants. It promotes loyalty to the brand and gives a person a broad sense of being in a family that looks out for each other.

Celebrate Milestones

Many times, shirts are provided by companies to celebrate a significant milestone such as an anniversary. For bowling teams, a custom-made shirt allows members to celebrate championship wins. Some cheap custom-made tees have prints indicating that the team has achieved a specific award in the last season.

Also, teams can use shirts to announce something else, like a 25th anniversary or something similar. This lets other people know that the team, despite years of challenges, has remained steadfast and still strongly grounded.

A Powerful Marketing Tool

Brands can never gain a following if nobody knows about it. A shirt is a powerful way to advertise a brand for free. As people who wear it walk around and meet new people, hundreds, if not thousands, of others will see the prints on the shirt.  The team or club name is obviously visible and can strike a conversation. You can get recruits to join your club or team next season.

Also, you can ask other brands to sponsor your shirt in exchange for a small patch of advertisement on the shirt. Let us say that a local restaurant wants to promote its business. You can ask them for shirt sponsorship, and in return, the restaurant’s logo can be printed on one sleeve of the shirt.

A great example of this marketing tool is the I LOVE NEW YORK shirt with the word “love” represented by a heart. It was part of a tourism campaign back in 1977. The campaign was supposed to last for only two months, but we know that this shirt has become the symbol of New York in so many ways. It has been featured in television and movies a thousand times and even worn by so many celebrities.

Cheap custom-made tees are cool provided that the design and the color theme captures the overall motivations and culture of the group. There are even people who will wear it once and keep it as their memento. Such is the power of an experience that we tend to associate it with an item such as a shirt. So consider the design for your bowling team uniform shirts now! Our team of professional is ready to help you bring Nashville flavor and team spirit to he cheap custom-made tees for your team.

Light yellow, baby blue, pale pink, soft greens, and ivory are all excellent choices for celebratory spring t-shirts. Use the traditional colors in your company logo but lighten them up for spring. This brands your business in a unique way as you look forward to one of the sunniest times of the year.

Get Tees People Want to Wear for a Long Time to Come

Spring is a sensational time of year, but it only lasts for three months. Choose custom tees that are spring-friendly but cool to wear throughout the year. Whimsical images, funny slogans, and one-of-a-kind color schemes make t-shirts more appealing. Plus, if people wear them more often, your company is getting ongoing exposure every time someone wears a tee. It's like a walking billboard that keeps putting your business in front of an increasing number of potential customers.

Make it Group Themed

Everyone likes to be part of a group or team, especially when you celebrate a universal time of joy such as spring. Know the group and what they like to wear. Talk to your team about their ideas and incorporate some of them into the custom tees you order. Question your customers about their preferences and how they like to enjoy spring. All of this info can help you come up with innovative designs that bring your group together in a special way. When the group is together, they will look forward to donning their custom t-shirts.

Be a Little Bit Funny or Cute

When designing custom tees for spring, integrate a little humor with your design. And if humor is, done right, it will be sure to attract attention which will go a long way in helping you stand out. Is your Nashville business looking for some extra attention? Make people laugh with a funny image or statement they are sure to remember long after they take off their custom tees. Cute sayings, such as “Spring Has Sprung,” are also a timeless way to make people smile. The goal is to uplift people and make them think fondly of your organization.

Do Your Research

What do you know about the arrival of spring? Are you familiar with gardening, Nashville events, and other springtime favorites? Do your research to help inspire some creativity when you design your tees. Surf the Internet, read local publications, and get a feel for what people look forward to during spring. Use these concepts in your promotional designs. A touch of imagination goes a long way when it comes to branding your business.

That familiarity increases the odds of people doing business with your brand.

Cost Effective Promotional Product

Creating custom tees is inexpensive. The type of shirt and the artwork determine the final cost. For a tight budget tees are a worthwhile investment that will deliver an impressive return on investment. If you are comfortable making a larger investment and opting for more expensive shirts you are still likely to see a return on that expense. Higher quality shirts last longer and therefore deliver more views, or impressions.

Often a company will create custom tees to give away at trade shows or other events. Giving away your custom designed tees proves to be a good marketing investment. People love free stuff, so when you hand out free tees people will be certain to take you up on that offer. As people wear your tee they will promote your brand.

Designing custom tees can be fun and maybe even a bit of a challenge. Custom tee shirts are effective and sought after promotional products, so using tees as marketing tools can be very beneficial. In order for a promotional tee shirt to be effective the design needs to appeal to your customers. The more appealing the design the more your supporters will sport the tee and the more exposure they give your brand. Put these tips to use to design a custom tee your Nashville customers will want to wear.

Identify the Purpose

Figure out what you want to achieve with your custom tee shirt. Determine if you are generally promoting your business or zeroing in on a specific product or service. A custom tee can be used to commemorate an event, like an anniversary, milestone or even an annual sale. Narrow down the scope to make the design itself easier to create, but also to make your message clear and concise for Nashville consumers.

Know Your Audience

To create a great design you need to understand your brand and know what appeals to your customers. The theme or concept needs to be true to your brand, and the purpose of the tee. Decide if the tone is serious or funny or something else altogether and built out the design around that initial tone.

Include Your Logo

Your logo identifies your brand and when people see your logo they will recognize your brand. Feature your logo in a prominent way in the design of your tee, so the shirt is an extension of your marketing. Failure to include the logo may cause confusion about whether the tee is a serious branding piece that promotes your Nashville company or something else.

Pick the Colors

If you have corporate colors, or colors you typically use in your marketing pieces feature those when you design custom tees. This will create consistency and ensure your custom designed tee shirt fits in with your larger branding efforts.

Coordinate Ink and Shirt Colors 

Remember that when designing a tee shirt you can select the ink colors, as well as the shirt colors. Get creative and choose a shirt color that is one of your business’ colors and showcase the other colors using ink. This is a thoughtful design decision that will help ensure the tee represents your brand and image.

Be Mindful of Colors

The ink and shirt colors may play off one another in a way that may differ from how the design looks on a computer screen. Sometimes in order to make the ink appear on a dark shirt it may be necessary to run the ink multiple times or to run a light color first followed by the darker final color. Light colored inks may be difficult to see on a light colored shirt. Also keep in mind that the color of the shirt may impact how the inks display. Light inks may appear deeper over a dark fabric and light inks may look washed out over a light fabric.

Look for Balance

The design should be cohesive and the entire design should work together. If your eye is drawn to one spot in particular the design is unbalanced. For instance, if the design features a lot of heavy coverage and block text, but one area of the design features delicate, curved lines that area of the artwork may stand out and not fit into the overall aesthetic

Pick the Placement

Decide where the artwork should be placed on the tee shirt. Artwork can be placed on the front and the back, or just one of those locations. Artwork can be centered or placed closer to the neckline or hem. Depending on the artwork different placement options may make more sense.

Design Tips Concerning Cost

Be aware of any budget limitations when creating your artwork. For instance, the more colors in your artwork the more expensive the design will be to print. Create a design that features one color or just two colors to keep costs within your budget. The shirt itself is a significant decision. Less expensive shirts may be more budget-friendly, but more expensive shirts are constructed to last and will likely promote your brand for a longer period of time.

We Can Lend a Hand

Put these tips to work if you have an idea and access to design software, so you can create your own artwork for your unique tee shirt. Our team is ready to help out if you have an idea, but you lack the design skills or software to make your concept into reality. We are also available to help if you have questions about the process.

Custom tees are a rite of passage for musicians. Fans expect to see custom tee shirts at the merch table and they make great marketing tools. As a Nashville musician you can get your name out there and gain support all through creating and selling custom tees. Here is why you need customized tees to marketing your band.

Custom Tees Show Fandom

Custom tees that bear your solo name or the name of your band are a souvenir fans can wear to show their support. Many fans collect band tees and will hold on to them for years.

Custom Tees Spread Awareness

When your band is just starting out you need to make potential fans aware you exist. When your fans wear a custom tee that bears your band’s name they will get your information in front of a wider audience. Tee shirts work like signs or billboards that display your name. When one person wears your shirt they will spread your name to their friends, family, classmates, coworkers and even strangers they pass while running errands.

Established Acts Benefit From Tees

Even if your music career is going strong and you have a large and loyal following custom tees still deliver value. Tees work like a reminder and keep your name front of mind for both your fan wearing the shirt, and the people your fan encounters while they wear your shirt and go about their day.

Quality Investment

As a promotional product custom tees are a smart investment. A lot of factors from the artwork to the number of shirts ordered impact what you will pay, but your investment is typically inexpensive. You can sell the custom tees for more than what you paid and make a profit. Furthermore, when your fans wear the shirt they will promote your music and increase awareness and recognition around your band. Tees lead to more fans who listen to and appreciate your music, as well as more ticket, album and tee shirt sales.

Tips to Create the Perfect Customized Tee for Your Band

Take the time to think through the design when ordering your band’s custom tees. With some careful thought you can create a stunning shirt that your fans will want to get their hands on.

Go Big with a Large Design

Maximize the space and use as much as possible. Our printable area is 13” x 13”. The cost is the same if you print part of that space of the full area, so go big and make sure your message is seen.

Single or Double Sided Printing

Printing on both sides of a shirt increases the cost, but it also increases the visibility of your marketing message. As your fans wear your shirt they will get the word out about your band on both the front and back of the tee. If your budget is limited consider just printing on the front to keep costs down.

Minimize Use of Colors

Every color used in the artwork requires another screen and another run - this adds up. If your objective is to be cost effective, go with fewer colors. You can still design an impactful and eye-catching custom tee only using one or two colors. The color of the shirt matters, too. Dark colored tees may require multiple runs for the ink to take and the artwork to display as intended. Lighter colored tees display just about any color of ink and only require one run.

Select a Quality Tee

When creating customized tees the quality of the shirt matters. Higher quality shirts are more expensive, but this is an investment that will pay off. Quality shirts are softer and comfortable to wear, so your fans will likely wear the shirt more often. Nicer shirts will also hold up well and last longer, so that means fans will be rocking your band’s custom tee for a much longer time.

Increase the Quantity

Score a great deal by ordering a higher quantity of custom shirts. From a manufacturing standpoint producing a large quantity of custom tees is less expensive compared to a low quantity.

Consider the Numbers

Ordering a large quantity can be a great deal, but only if you can sell your inventory. For example, if you plan to order 1,000 custom tees increasing the quantity to 1,500 or 2,000 may be worth considering. Increasing the quantity to 10,000 custom tees will drastically reduce the price per shirt, but that will leave you with a lot of shirts to sell.

Stay Local

Working with a local Nashville tee shirt printer can streamline and simplify the entire process. As a Music City printer we understand the importance of creating custom tees to support your musical career and our vibrant city. From design help to quickly turning around orders our team is available to help at every step of the way.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, but there is still plenty of time to secure memorable and unique promotional items. Valentine’s Day is generally considered a made-up holiday, but the commercial implications and demand for love themed items are substantial. Here are some creative ideas to create custom tee shirts that align with Valentine’s Day.

Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve

Custom design a unique tee shirt that features a Valentine theme. From the shirt color to the artwork the entire design should reflect the theme. The shirt can promote your business and give your customers the opportunity to express their love of your brand or commemorate an upcoming event or fundraiser.

Get the Word Out About Your Business

Promote your business with a Valentine's Day theme by altering your logo to include hearts or a cupid’s arrow or something reminiscent of the occasion. Simply switching from your regular colors to reds and pinks can help set the tone. Your branding information should still be identifiable. Customers should be able to recognize your brand, but also enjoy the fun aspects of the Valentine's inspired design.

Universal Appeal of Apparel

Custom tees make excellent promotional products or gifts because they are versatile. A tee given to staff, sold to customers or simply handed out to promote your business can be worn to run errands, workout or just relax around home. The casual nature makes tee shirts useful and comfortable. The more comfortable a shirt is the more it will be worn and the more exposure it will give your brand.

Long Term Commitment

Typical Valentine’s Day items have a short lifespan. Candy, flowers and greeting cards leave an impression, but the response is fleeting. Tee shirts are designed to last a while. Custom shirts will last for months and possibly even years and promote your brand for that entire time. Even as the theme is no longer relevant people will still wear your custom shirt and continue to expand the reach of your brand.

Create Something From the Heart

If you have an idea along with the design skills and software necessary simply create your artwork and send it in. If not, our design team is at the ready to help you create the ideal design to showcase your message.

Valentine's Day Promotions

In order to get the most value from your custom tees you need to get them to your employees or customers. Put these clever ideas to use to distribute your themed tees to show the love and promote your business.

Think Outside the Traditional Love Theme

Depending on who your intended recipients are you may want to take a route different than the traditional romantic theme. For example, if the shirts are gifts for employees or volunteers the theme can be love for the work you do. For instance, at an animal rescue or veterinary office the design inspiration can be a love of animals.

Event Gear

If your business is hosting or participating in an event on or around February 14 your staff can wear the custom shirts, or your custom tees can be handed out as promotional items. Custom tees make great employee uniforms and help attendees identify staff. Tee shirts are sought after takeaways that customers will want to get their hands on.

Support a Cause

Custom tees that promote your business can be sold with the proceeds going to support a cause. This is a great way to generate interest while encouraging customers to support a cause and make a purchase. Customers like to do business with organizations that support social causes. Simply doing good can help sway an individual's purchasing decision and also collect money for a worthwhile organization.

Use Your Tee Like a Coupon

Create custom tees that are available for customers to purchase. Run a promotion where customers who come to your brick and mortar business wearing your custom tee receive a percentage off their purchase. The discount offer will entice customers to purchase and wear your shirt. The more customers wear your shirt the more they promote your brand. This promotion is unique and will likely generate interest from other customers and help spread the word about your business and your custom tees. The exposure your customers will provide your business will make the discount worth it.

Create a Competition

Host a friendly competition on the big day and your custom tees can be the prizes. Get on social media and ask your followers to share what makes their Valentine the best or explain why the products or services your company offers make great Valentine’s Day gifts. Pick the winners and send them their very own custom tee shirts. A competition is an opportunity to engage with customers and followers and help promote your brand via the custom promotional tee shirts.

The word brand is an all-encompassing term that essentially is the same as a Nashville business’s reputation. A business can control their brand to a large degree and set the tone and establish expectations. Learn how to use custom tees to brand your business in 2018.

The Center of Your Brand

A logo is the most basic element of a brand, and it serves as a visual reminder of a brand. Your logo should appear on your website, packaging and all printed materials. Customers should be able to identify a brand based on the logo. To establish brand recognition, you need to get your logo in front of customers and even potential customers to raise awareness.

Be Consistent

A brand is an image you want your business to portray. Be consistent with this image in everything you do with your brand. From marketing materials to the way staff answers the phones to the tone of social media posts everything comes back to the brand. Consistency and repetition, especially when dealing with a new company, make a brand memorable.

Create a Brand Strategy

A brand strategy is simply a plan that outlines who you want to reach and how you will go about achieving that goal. An effective branding strategy requires careful thought. Identify your target audience and figure out a way to reach them. Using custom tees can be an effective way to brand your Nashville business through increasing awareness and recognition.

Put Your Brand Out There

For people to see and recognize your brand you need to create exposure. Custom printed tees provide plenty of visibility for a brand and are highly efficient promotional products. On average people keep a branded tee shirt for six months. During that time your branded shirt will help build a rapport with your brand and your customers.

Versatility of Tees

Tee shirts make great marketing tools because they are useful. Everyone has a use for tees whether they are worn as gym apparel or while running errands or just going about a regular day. For a custom product to effectively promote your brand, it needs to be something your demographic wants and will use. Different promotional products appeal to different demographics, but tees are effective across all age groups.

Effective Promotional Products

The benefits of custom branded products are twofold. As customers wear a shirt emblazoned with your logo and branding information, they will be reminded of your brand. Simply seeing your logo and branding will cause customers to think about your brand and over time they will become more familiar with your brand.

Branded tees work like signs, and as your customers wear a custom tee shirt that bears your information, they will spread your message to others. People who cross paths with your customers will either be made aware of or reminded of your brand. Branded tees turn your customers into ambassadors of your brand and will expand the reach of your marketing message.

Design Tees to Showcase Your Brand

Create custom artwork to have printed on shirts to help spread your branding message. The artwork should include your logo and other key information. Use colors consistent with your website and other marketing components. Consider including a website or social media handles, so people can learn more if they are interested. The design should be eye-catching and generate interest while still being relevant and informative.

Project Ideas and Design Help

Artwork should be sized 13” x 13” and saved as an .ai, png or jpeg file. Reach out with questions about sending in artwork, or let us know if you need help creating or editing files. Our design team can help fine-tune your ideas or create artwork from scratch.

Distribute Custom Tees

Custom branded tees can be sold in your brick and mortar store or through your website. Faithful and loyal customers will likely purchase custom tees to show their support, especially if the design is compelling and unique.

Tees make great takeaways at Nashville trade shows or other types of industry events. People like free stuff, so if you plan to give your shirts away for free make sure to stock up and have plenty available. Promote the giveaway via social media ahead of time to generate interest. Giving shirts away at an event means you will get your shirts into the hands of people who may not be existing customers. This is a great way to spread the reach of your branding message.

Brand Your Business

Custom tees are successful promotional products that increase a brand’s awareness and recognition. Creating a custom designed tee shirt that bears your logo and branding information will build your brand. Make 2018 the year your Nashville brand breaks through and gets noticed by creating custom tees.

Tee shirts have been mainly designated as gym clothes or the uniform for doing chores, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Custom tees can be stylish and give an outfit a polished and pulled together look. Here are some tips for styling a casual Nashville outfit with a customized tee shirt.

Accessorize

Create a cohesive look by adding coordinating accessories. If your custom tee has a bright or dominant color, find accessories that are the same color for a sleek monochromatic look. You can also add accessories all in the same contrasting hue to make a stylish statement. From a belt to shoes, jewelry and a handbag you can build a stylish outfit around a customized tee shirt

Add a Blazer

The structure of a more professional looking blazer over a casual custom tee creates a look that is on trend. If opting to wear a blazer and custom tee, round out your ensemble with fitted or slim fit pants and heels or ballet flats. This look can also be paired with jeans which are still casual, but slightly dresses up your jeans. Whether worn to work or brunch rocking a blazer and custom tee is a polished look.

Pair With a Maxi Skirt

The flow of a maxi skirt makes a nice contrast with a more fitted custom tee. If you leave the tee untucked add a belt to add definition. Wear with comfortable sandals or even sneakers. This casual, bohemian look is ideal for lazy weekends.

Wear a Moto Jacket

The fitted silhouette of a moto jacket offers a nice contrast to the looser fit of a tee shirt. This look plays off of the straight lines of the jacket and the more loose fit of the tee. Pair with boots or even high heels to round out the look.

Coordinate with Shorts and Ankle Boots

Shorts and tees are two articles of clothing known for being very casual. Create an edgier version of this classic look by tucking the tee in and pairing with ankle boots. This elevates the look, making it more stylish and yet still spot on and comfortable. If there is a slight chill in the air add a pair of tights under the shorts and grab a blazer to round out the look.

Dress Down a Dress

Throw a custom graphic tee over a dress to create a completely different look. This works with all sorts of dresses and adds versatility to your wardrobe. Layering a tee over a dress is also a way to tone down the formality of a fancier dress and make it better suited to more casual affairs and excursions.

Layer Over a Dress Shirt

Wearing a short sleeve tee over a long sleeve tee is a tried and true method to stay warm. Layer a tee over a dress shirt for a stylish way to stay warm and look-on trend. Roll the sleeves of the dress shirt for a more casual and comfortable look.

Match to a Skirt

Whether a structured pencil skirt or a knee-length A-line skirt, pair with a custom tee to make for a stylish outfit. Partially tuck the shirt in to avoid looking frumpy, particularly if wearing a high waisted skirt. Wear with heels or open sandals for a carefree and summery look. Make the outfit more cold weather appropriate with platform shoes and tall boots.

Wear with Denim

Denim is a staple and always looks good with a tee shirt. Whether worn with jeans or a denim jacket you will immediately have a look that is quintessential Americana.

Go For the Unexpected

If you have a piece that is a little bit out there, you can reel in the look with a custom tee. From a tulle skirt to leather pants or a crocheted vest a tee will help to anchor the look while allowing a unique part of the outfit to stand out.

Show Your Style

There are countless ways to style custom tees. When creating your look go for something that is comfortable and speaks to your style. Tees can make formal articles of clothing more casual to expand the versatility of your wardrobe.

Create Your Own Custom Tees

If you are feeling inspired to up your style game with custom tees, we can help. Create your artwork, send it in, and we can print your images on a tee. If you have an idea, but do not have design skills or access to design software we can help. We offer free design help to bring your vision to life.

Finding just the right gift can be a challenge, but it doesn’t need to be that way. This holiday season gives a one-of-a-kind gift to friends and family that will be unlike anything else they receive, and will also be a favorite. Create a custom tee shirt design for your friends and family as a unique holiday gift in Nashville.

Think Long Term

Research has shown that when someone gives a gift, they focus on the moment the gift is unwrapped. This makes sense because that is the big moment for the person giving the gift. People who receive gifts appreciate the usefulness of a gift. Unwrapping the present is not the highlight for them. Whether or not they can use the gift long-term is what matters. Custom printed tees as a gift appeal to both the sender and receiver because it is exciting to open, but useful long term.

Thoughtful Gift

Gifting custom designed and printed tee shirts show your family and friends that you care. This is the type of gift that builds upon a shared history and relationship. A tee shirt can seem like a simple gift, but a custom printed shirt will encompass the experiences you have shared with your gift recipients.

Completely Unique

Custom tees are unique, and your friends and family will likely not receive anything else like it. Even if they receive other articles of clothing, it will not have the sentimental value and level of personalization that your custom tee will offer.

Useful Gift

Everyone has a use for a tee shirt. You can all plan to wear your custom tees at a reunion or future gathering. If you all plan to wear your shirts together at some point, your gift will help build anticipation. Tee shirts are wardrobe staples and whether worn to run errands, hit the gym or when just going about regular activities your friends and relatives will undoubtedly have a use for your custom tee.

Come Up With a Theme

When coming up with ideas for custom tees decide on a theme. A theme will give the design purpose and make it a thoughtful gift your friends and family will appreciate. Consider a Nashville holiday theme with a local flair.

Possible Themes for Family

For your family, you can create custom tees that have your family name on it and maybe your hometown or other pertinent details. Using your last name as the name of a college is a popular option. Include a crest if using a college theme for an authentic look. Your family custom tee can feature a holiday greeting or the date for your next family reunion.

Theme Ideas for Friends

For a group of friends think about what it is that brought you all together. If you all met at school or a job or a club, use that as inspiration for the theme. Custom tees as a gift can also be a creative way to ask a group of friends to be in your wedding.

Ordering Custom Tees

Custom designed gifts add a personal touch and make the item more thoughtful. Creating something custom also allows you to create exactly what you envision. We have simplified the ordering process to make it as easy as possible.

Create Your Design

If you have design skills and access to design software you can create the digital artwork you want to be printed on your custom tees. If you have questions about how to set up the file, or if you have an idea, but need help creating the files, we can help.

Figure Out Quantity

Determining how many shirts to order and sizes can be tricky. Write everything down to keep track and make sure everyone is accounted for and receives a custom tee. We have a low order minimum of 12 for orders including screen printing and embroidery. Orders with digital printing have no minimum. If you need low quantities, this can be beneficial, but the price per shirt is based on the total number of shirts ordered. Making custom printed tee shirts can be a cost-effective holiday gift option.

Timing

Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to design and order your custom tees. We need about one week to print your shirts once the design and order details are final. If you need to wrap and ship your shirts to your family and friends, factor in enough time when placing your order.

Giving the Perfect Gift

A lot goes into finding the perfect gift. The item should be something the recipient can use and something they will appreciate. Custom printed tees fulfill these requirements and are something your friends and family members will enjoy, appreciate and are excited to wear.

Finding the balance between efficient and cost-effective fundraising can be a struggle. Social fundraising may hold the solution as it typically requires little upfront investment, and the payout can be substantial. Learn how effective Nashville fundraising includes custom tee shirt printing. Discover ways to spread the word about important causes with custom tees.

Spread Awareness with Social Fundraising in Nashville

Social fundraising is the process of using your network to raise money for a cause. The goal of social fundraising with custom tee shirts is to get as many people as possible wearing your custom designed tees. The more people wearing the shirts, the more exposure the cause will receive. The more exposure the cause receives, the more custom tees will be sold, which will raise more money and increase the size of the network supporting the cause.

Have a Contest to Design Custom Tees

Start out by organizing a contest for employees or customers or members of the public to design a custom tee shirt to raise awareness for your cause. Collect entries and let people vote for the best design that will be printed on a shirt. Share the entries online and let your followers cast a vote to help determine the winning design. When you have a winner, or maybe even the top three picks, have those designs printed on t-shirts.

Set the Rules for the Contest

At the start of the contest let people know the file requirements for the artwork. Files need to be .ai, png or jpeg files. If there are specific colors or a theme share this info, so people can be sure to feature it in their designs. The artwork should be eye-catching and explain the cause you are supporting. If you need help setting up files or if you have questions about custom tee shirt printing, our team can help.

Get People Excited

Engaging with your network from the start with a contest and vote will get people interested and excited for the finished tees. Creating interest will encourage people to learn more about the cause and become educated on the topic. When people have this understanding, they will be more likely to offer their support. Use this interest to accept pre-orders for shirts. This info can be helpful in determining how many shirts to order, and it will create a sense of anticipation.

Cost Effective Fundraising

Sell the custom designed shirts to raise money. Be clear that a portion of the purchase price will be donated to the cause. Another option is for your company or organization to donate the money to purchase the tees, and all of the proceeds from the sale will go to the cause.

No Limits on Fundraising

The size of the organization hosting the fundraiser has typically determined the success of the fundraiser. Bigger organizations have a bigger reach and more resources, so this translates into more money raised. Social fundraising turns that model upside down. When employing social fundraising the size of the social network matters. Research has found that the donors get on board based on the size of the social fundraising network, not the size of the organization hosting the fundraising.

Grow Your Network

Start out by having your employees wear the custom tees. Make shirts available for sale in your storefront or office or through your website. Eventually, as people see employees wearing the custom tees, people will want to get their own. As the shirts get out into the community and people see them more people will come forward and want to get their custom tee to support a great cause.

Take Your Social Network Online

Have an online presence on social media to increase awareness around the cause and the t-shirts. Have people upload pictures of them wearing the custom shirt to increase awareness and support. Make sure to include information on how to buy shirts in your profile, so people who come to the site can pitch in and buy a shirt of their own.

Keep the Momentum Going

If you find success with custom designed t-shirts for a cause, create additional styles. When new designs come out supporters will want to pick up the new shirts and contribute to the cause. Come out with new designs to commemorate milestones associated with fundraising or to help highlight issues related to the cause. Be careful not to overdo things. If you come out with new designs too frequently your network may not be able to keep up, and this could hurt fundraising efforts.

Spread the Word With Social Networking

You have a network of customers, employees, vendors and more, put these people to work fundraising for a cause. Custom tees will spread the word about your cause and will get your message in front of a wider audience. The shirts work like advertisements and will raise awareness for the cause. When people wear your custom tees, this will raise awareness and encourage others to get their shirts and support the cause.

Creating awareness for your Nashville businesses is invaluable. People cannot do business with you if they do not know your business exists, so generating interest, or a buzz, is a significant key to success. Creating buzz for your business on a budget can be a cost-effective strategy. Here are some budget-friendly ideas to create a buzz for your MLM business, including the distribution of cheap custom tees.

Benefits of MLM Business Structure

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) businesses in Hendersonville utilize a structure that rewards team members across the salesforce. The sales team is often built organically, as existing team members recruit new team members. This structure can benefit your business goals, but it also creates opportunities to create a buzz within your staff and your customer base.

Be Transparent

Honesty is always a good policy, and in the digital age, this has never been truer. Strive always to be honest and upfront with your customers. Share the good news and the bad news. It may be uncomfortable and awkward at times, but when customers, and potential customers, realize that you are honest and trustworthy this can grow into customer loyalty.

Methods of Transparency

For transparency to be effective, you need to employ this policy with everyone. From employees to investors to customers make sure you are upfront and sincere with everyone. If you receive negative feedback from a customer look into the issue and publicly share your findings and your resolution. Take ownership of mistakes or oversights and be upfront about your plans and goals.

Create a Wait List

A wait list can create interest and anticipation for your product, service or an event. Wait lists establish a sense of exclusivity, and this can easily translate into interest and media attention. All of this attention can generate more buzz and further extend the reach of your Brentwood MLM business. A useful wait list can also create interest around future releases since people will remember the anticipation from earlier lists they will be motivated to add their names early.

A wait list has drawbacks. People may be reluctant to sign up and to depend on the length of the wait people may choose to remove themselves from the list. When wait lists work they are great at creating buzz, but if they do not work it can hurt your brand. If you choose to promote your brand with a wait list, make sure to monitor the situation carefully and have a backup plan ready to go just in case.

Share a Sneak Peak

Share a video or photos of an upcoming release or new product or service to create anticipation. Leaking info ahead of a launch date can create interest and get your customers excited about what is to come. Get creative and share clues or partial information to create a buzz for your MLM business.

Hand Out Swag

People like free stuff. Create custom designed t-shirts that feature your logo and branding information and hand those out to staff and customers. When people wear your branded gear, it will increase awareness and recognition of your brand.

Branded Shirts Make Great Promotional Products

Create artwork to promote your brand or a specific release and have that printed on shirts. You can hand cheap custom t-shirts out to employees at a team building event or get them out to customers as a gift with purchase or at a trade show or similar event.

Effectiveness of Custom T-Shirts

A staggering 58 percent of U.S. consumers own custom branded tees, making them a useful marketing tool. The benefits of custom t-shirts are two-fold. When the owner of the shirt sees it, they are reminded of your brand and your products or services. When your customers wear their branded t-shirts, they spread your branding message to everyone they encounter.

Get Some Help From Influencers

Connecting with influencers in your industry can help increase awareness around your brand, and even give your company some credibility. Every industry has people who are revered as experts and are trusted figures. Get to know the individuals and create a rapport.

When a Nashville industry influencer speaks well of your brand, this is an endorsement that will get people interested in learning more about you. Support from an industry influencer lends your company some of the influencer’s credibility.

Increasing Awareness for Your MLM Business

Creating a buzz of your MLM business can raise awareness around your brand, or more specifically for an upcoming product or release. This buzz can get customers interested and boost sales. Budget-friendly methods to increase buzz deliver a more significant value since you secure an impressive return on your investment. Employing these cost-effective marketing strategies can raise the awareness and excitement surrounding your brand.

People in your group can wear their shirts, spend time together, or people can spread out and enjoy time away from the group. Most orchards also have cider and baked goods, so after everyone is done picking apples, they can enjoy some fall treats together. Another perk of apple picking is that everyone can take home some tasty treats.

2. Go For a Hike

Get outdoors and enjoy the scenery as the leaves change colors. Find a local hiking trail that is a good fit for the overall skill level of your group. If your group is on the athletic side, plan to go rock climbing or organize a run. Make sure everyone wears their shirts, pack water, treats and a camera to get snapshots of the stunning fall foliage.

3. Help Out in the Community

Organize an outing for members of your group to rake leaves, pick up litter or do anything else to help beautify your community. You can also coordinate a clothing drive or food drive and arrange for group members to collect donations and deliver the good to a local organization. Check with co-workers or group members for ideas or reach out to nonprofits in your area to see if they need help with any events or projects in the works. Group members can wear their t-shirts when working or collecting donations.

4. Organize a Game of Flag Football

Break everyone into two teams and play a game of flag football. Custom t-shirts can be helpful to identify which people are on each team. Playing a sport together can help teach people teamwork and create a sense of unity.

5. Carve Pumpkins

Get everyone together and go to a pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. Remind everyone to wear their custom t-shirts. Bring the pumpkins back to your church hall, a classroom, a conference room at the office or any space that is available to your group. Spread out newspaper and carve the pumpkins for Halloween.

Have Fun with a Fall Outing

Whatever activities you decide to do this fall make sure to have everyone in your group wear their custom designed t-shirts. Custom shirts make it easy to keep your group together, and they also create a bond between everyone. Fall themed activities can bring your group closer, alleviate stress and give everyone the opportunity to enjoy one another’s company.

If you have been in the fitness business for any significant period, you are well aware of how competitive it can be. It seems like every time that you turn a corner you notice that another gym is popping up in your neighborhood. That means that you need to be marketing yourself even harder and more strategically than you ever have. Custom printed t-shirts and other fitness promos help brand your business.

The flooding of new gyms to the market and their spending on online ads on Facebook, Instagram, and Google have driven up the cost of advertising and generating leads online. Which means that you and other fitness business owners need to find more creative and cost effective ways to promote and market their businesses. Today, we are going to discuss some innovative and profitable ways that you can market your fitness business.

1) Summer and New Year Challenges

One excellent aspect of owning your fitness center or gym is that you have a built in client base already. Two of the biggest times each year that we see boosts in the fitness business is at the end of summer and the beginning of each new year. You can run New Year challenges and end of summer challenges that offer:

- Nutrition counseling

- Extra programming

- Custom workouts

- A supplementation guide

Offer your existing clients an opportunity to sign up for a 60 to 90-day challenge at a flat rate, which includes a lot of additional content. That’s an excellent way to boost your sales with your existing membership. Spread word of mouth and tell them to get their friends to join too. The best thing is that you can run both of these challenges every year and offer custom printed t-shirts as commemorative rewards.

2) Run a Gym Anniversary Special

Every year you have the opportunity to run some gym anniversary special. Offer your existing and new members a special discount when they purchase longer contracts. Offer referral discounts to your current members, so if they bring in a friend or two, they get a certain percentage knocked off of a month or the total. Include cool custom-printed t-shirts as an added incentive.

3) Run a Business Challenge

If you run a fitness center that offers programming and classes for businesses in your area, why not start your corporate fitness challenge? Have different companies or teams within the same business compete using metrics like:

- Classes attended

- Weight lifted

- Personal records

- Weight lost

- Inches lost

And offer a fun prize or gift bundle to the team that wins. Custom printed t-shirts they can wear to the gym are sure to be a hit!

4) Free Session with a Trainer 

One of the best ways to market your fitness business within and outside of your business is to offer a free or complimentary personal training session. This gives your members personal attention and time with you or your training staff, adds value to your business, and gives you the opportunity to build another revenue stream with an existing or new client. Offer discounts for an introductory training package with you so that you can help your clients:

- Improve their performance

- Refine their diet to suit their goals

- Assist them in proper supplementation

- Help them perfect their technique to improve their results and reduce the chances of injuries

5) Offer Free Passes and Prizes for Check-ins

Another great, free way to market your fitness center is to run a check-in challenge. Have your existing members check into your gym on Facebook or Yelp every time that they come in for a workout, and share where they are with their friends. Tally the number of check-ins that each of your regular members had at the end of each month and offer prizes, free passes, custom printed t-shirts, and rewards for your top check-in clients. This will give you a ton of free word-of-mouth marketing via your client's social media when all of their friends see where they are working out and how often they are going in.

6) Free Month Pass with a Review on Google or Yelp

Another free way to build buzz about your gym or fitness center is to have your clients or new members review your business on Google or help. Great reviews online are one of the best ways to pick up new clients and improve your business’ SEO. Offer a free month or week pass, free personal training, custom printed t-shirts or something of value to any of your clients that give your business a positive review online.

7) Run Social Media Contests

Running social media contests is another fun and free way you can promote your business through your existing clients. Set up a list of social media activities that your clients can do, and set a point value for each item. Run your contest for a month and see what clients have the most points at the end of the month. Offer them a free month, free personal training package, gear, custom printed t-shirts and more for the winner. For example, members earn:

- 1 point for each Facebook check-in

- 2 points for each check-in with a tagged picture on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter

- 3 points for adding and tagging your gym in your client’s Snap, Facebook, or Instagram story

- 4 points for each check-in with a video that tags and mentions your gym

There are a ton of great ways to market your fitness business for cheap or for nothing at all. Our custom design t-shirts can help you promote your business and all its special events and giveaways. Plus, everyone who wears your tee is like a walking billboard for your fitness enterprise.

Planning a family reunion requires a lot of work, planning, and coordination. The end result is completely worth it. Getting everyone together can be fun and exciting and help remind everyone about the importance of family. If you are coordinating your next family event follow these tips for planning the ultimate family reunion, complete with custom design t-shirts to celebrate and memorialize the occasion.

Establish a Theme

Come up with a theme that can influence the gathering. Plan the entire family reunion around this theme. It can be food related. For instance, if most family members enjoy barbecue and you have some relatives who know their way around a grill, make this the theme. If your family is competitive, consider staging a softball tournament and make that the theme.

Build the Party Around the Theme

When the theme is determined, it is easier for everything else to fall into place. Food, decorations, and activities can be centered around the theme. When relatives ask what they can do to help, let them know the theme and what others have already signed up to do. This will help people determine what they can contribute.

Family Reunion Tee Shirts

Custom design T-shirts are a fun and creative way to commemorate a family reunion. When everyone is wearing matching T-shirts, it creates a sense of unity and togetherness. Custom printed tees also make great souvenirs for everyone to take home.

Create a Custom Design T-Shirt

Create your own shirt design that features your family’s surname, the year, and the location of the reunion. Feel free to include any other relevant info or fun sentiments. Pull design ideas from your theme. You just need to select the colors used for the printing and the tee shirts. We can take things from there. If you need help with design ideas or help creating files, we can lend a hand.

Be Understanding

Not everyone may relate to the theme, so give people space to do their own thing. For example, relatives who have dietary restrictions may not be able to fully partake in a barbecue theme. Relatives recovering from an injury or illness may not want to take the softball field. Be prepared by having other food and activity options available.

Contests and Activities

Activities are a great way to get family members to have a good time and make memories together. You can plan to play lawn games or board games. Contests are a cool option to get people talking and joking. Contests can range from who made the best dessert to which team won the family softball game. Consider special custom design t-shirts for each of the family softball teams to add spirit to the competition.

Time to Catch Up

Set aside time for people to just sit and catch up. Activities and contests are fun and are a good way to people to spend time together. Some relatives will just want to sit and chat. They will want to talk to each other and reminisce and find out what is going on in their lives right now. When planning your family reunion, account for this time.

Stay Organized

It is important to stay organized while planning a family reunion. You need to track who agreed to bring food, who volunteered to take care of grilling, and who will bring games or supplies for different activities. If you have relatives traveling from out of town it is also helpful to track which local relatives have space for overnight guests. It is important to share this info with everyone, so people know what gaps they can help fill.

Take Your Planning Digital

Consider starting a Google doc you can share with everyone or create a Facebook group to keep everyone informed. This may be a challenge for relatives who are not tech savvy, so keep track of those individuals and let them know what is going on with phone calls.

Create the Ultimate Family Reunion

Planning a family reunion can be a lot of work. Finding a time and place where everyone can get together and activities that people will participate in can be a challenge. The work is all worth is when everyone gets together and creates fun memories. Using these tips can make it easy to plan the ultimate family reunion. And remember, custom design t-shirts for everyone in the family make the event a total success!

It’s that time of year again where everyone is going back to school and work is in full-gear again. Thankfully, we all have a swiftly approaching long weekend to look forward to. Labor weekend is a holiday that is celebrated across the entire United States. Schools are out for the day, most all businesses are closed or at very least have abbreviated hours, and everyone is getting together to relax, grill out, and celebrate. And some people are ordering their cheap custom tees to celebrate the occasion.

Here’s a funny question: do you know why we celebrate Labor Day Weekend? What is the real meaning of Labor Day? Many of us don’t even know the meaning of a holiday that we look forward to having off, year after year. So why do we celebrate Labor Day?

The History of Labor Day

As you may well know, Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday of every September. What you may not know is the reason that we celebrate Labor Day.  The holiday is to celebrate and commemorate the American labor movement, and everything that they have done to contribute to the strength, prosperity, and longevity of this country. It is considered the unofficial end of summer across the country, and is nationally recognized as a federal holiday.

In the early 19th century, the trade movements and labor unions in the United States were growing rapidly. Eventually, the labor union members suggested to the government that we have a national holiday to celebrate all of this country’s workforce The holiday was then promoted by the Knights of Labor and the Central Labor Union. They organized their first celebratory parade in 1887. Though, Oregon was actually the first state to adopt it as a holiday, other states quickly climbed on board. By 1894, 30 states had already accepted labor day as a recognized holiday.

To honor or work force and all of the hard work that you have put in this year, why not take this opportunity to celebrate? On Labor, many Americans celebrate by

- Having friends and family over to celebrate

- Grilling hamburgers and hot dogs

- Enjoying the end of the summer weather

- Making memories and enjoying each other’s company

Like you, we have made lots of wonderful memories in Labor Days past too. What better way to make that memory even greater by designing and printing your own, totally personalized Labor Day t-shirt.

Getting Great T-shirts to Celebrate Labor Day

One of the ways that you can make sure that you have the most fun this labor day weekend is getting fun, customized t-shirts for you, your friends, and your family to celebrate the holiday weekend. There’s no better way to make a fun memory and end your summer with a bang than having your own personalized shirts that everyone can wear for your labor day weekend party. With our design and printing services, you can get your entire party the perfect, comfortable, colorful shirt for celebrating the end of summer.

Small or Large Batch

Doesn’t t-shirt printing get expensive though? And don’t I have to order t-shirts in large batches in order to make it work?

The answer to both of those questions is no. With us, you can order shirts that are perfect for smaller parties or small printing runs. We offer all of our customers affordable options, even if you just want to print one shirt, or a couple of dozen for your labor day weekend party. If you want to design, order, and print a larger batch too, you are still going to get really quality t-hirts at a really affordable price

Are you ready for the summer camp season? Campers and staffers love getting awesome t-shirts to commemorate their experience. And now is the time to plan for your unforgettable summer camp t-shirts. Our team can help you to develop a t-shirt design to wow your campers and build memories that will last for the rest of their lives. Let’s get started on making your summer camp t-shirts special!

Slogans to Inspire Memories From a Special T-Shirt

One of the best parts of creating t-shirts for summer camps is coming up with fun designs and slogans.

Define a Mission

These slogans can be a spin on the camp’s mission, the theme of the year or even specific activities done at the camp. A good slogan can really make or break a summer camp t-shirt.

Fabrics That Work With Your Design

Summer camps are often full of fun activities like swimming, hiking and games. Plus, lots of hot weather! That is why it is important to choose a material that is appropriate for the climate.

Breathable and Comfortable

We recommend using 100% cotton t-shirts when making your design. The fabric is breathable in any climate and type of weather, and can stand damp conditions. The material is also very easy to work with when adding artwork. Another option is moisture wicking, polyester shirts. Moisture-wicking polyester and poly blends are durable and excellent for fitness activities keeping your campers cool in hot weather. Polyester fabric shirts do have some limitations so it is important to discuss your design with us to make sure it will work. Let us help you create a custom masterpiece and choose the right fabric.

Choosing the Right Colors

The best colors for summer camp t-shirts are bright ones that stand out and memorable. Most campers do not have a bright color t-shirts in their closets so they are likely to keep and wear their summer camp shirt year round.

Be Seen

Vibrant colors are also helpful as campers participate in activities in or near the water and wooded areas. It makes them easy to identify as they are walking alone or in groups.

Color and Design That Pops

Another consideration for designing t-shirts for summer camps is ensuring that the color of the shirt and design match. For example, if you use a bright blue t-shirt, it is unlikely you will want to use blue font and art.

Test It Out

Make sure you add a test layer on your art so you have a good feel for what your text and image will like look on the final design.

Building Friendships through Unique Tees

A fun activity you can do with camp t-shirts is to help pals commemorate their time together. You can leave space for a wearable memory book so campers can write their summer camp memories, messages and well wishes with one another using fabric markers.

Unforgettable

You can also get them involved with a space for painted hand prints - it is certainly a design that they will never forget!

Letting Campers Design Tees

Want to engage campers? Ahead of their camp experience, invite them to participate in a t-shirt design contest.

What About a Fundraiser?

Send them sheets with instructions ahead of camp to return. Upload the images to a website or social media page, and let campers and their families vote on the t-shirt design they like the most. This could also be a fundraising opportunity for campers!

Giving Away Tee Shirts for Camp Events

One of the best things a summer camp can do is to share t-shirts with its campers and counselors to commemorate their experience.

Highlight Certain Activities

You can also get extra shirts specific to activities to highlight special events such as the fishing club, gaming crew and hiking team!

Cost Savings

An ideal way to save on costs when purchasing camp t-shirts is to buy a bulk order of shirts. You can also wait to print until you are ready so you don’t use more than you need.

Get a Quote 

Whether you have a small order of a dozen or a very large order of 1,000, we have a price quote system that can help you find the best option and price for your order.

Let’s Enjoy Summer

Summer camp is a time of learning, bonding and gaining new skills to bring back to the day-to-day. It should be a memorable experience and so should the attire each camper wears.

Promotional Memories

Choose a shirt and design that your campers will love year-round and they’ll promote your camp wherever they go.

We hope this guide helped you in your quest to design the best summer camp t-shirt. We want you to be satisfied with the end result.

T-shirts go beyond a pairing with denim jeans. For more than sixty years, they have become a wardrobe staple for people of all ages from musicians to machinists. T-shirts make the people who wear them advertisements for your business, event or other cause. The best part is that they are mobile and sharing your message everywhere they go with the added benefit of the endorsement of the wearer. T-shirts combine creativity and fashion, and are a great way to increase your company’s brand recognition. And you can get the brand noticed better with  quality custom design tees.

We frequently get questions like, “What makes a custom t-shirt design get noticed?” Our customers want to know how to create a good design that is desired by their target audience, meets their budget and arrives on-time. T-shirt design does not have to be confusing and that’s why we compiled some tips to help you better understand what your customers want while promoting your brand.

Representing Your Brand or Cause

The graphic on your t-shirt is what stands out and that’s why you want it to represent your company, brand or organization well. Deciding on and creating a good graphic for your t-shirt takes careful planning. Here are some considerations you may want to make as you plan:

Your Custom Design Tees Are Art Canvases

If you think of your t-shirt as a canvas, then the graphic you put on it is art. Creating a beautiful and unique t-shirt design can attract the eye of others who see it. Using beyond standard rectangular imprint area may increase cost a bit, but can create a design that people are not used to seeing on a t-shirt.

Your Tee is a Walking Advertisement

Your shirt’s design can attract new customers. That’s another reason why it is important to have t-shirt art that is appealing and engaging. Your customers will be your living billboard to promote your product, service, event or other activity.

T-Shirt Styles Change Based on Your Audience

There are times when your t-shirt will require a another material (besides cotton) or style to meet your audience’s needs. People attending a rock concert and those participating in a road race have different needs. Make sure you create a t-shirt design that addresses those needs.

Unique Custom Design Tees Stand Out from the Crowd

If you want your customer to wear your t-shirt over and over again, rather than using it as another paint shirt, you need to ensure that the design is unique and stylish. You can even customize the style to demographics: male, female, children, seniors. Different messages, weights and even availability for youth can help to carry your message further. Check out these great t-shirt designs for cat lovers.

Design Versus Budget

So you know that you need a design that stands out, but you also need to pay attention to your limitations in print, timeline and budget. After you have created the perfect design, the last thing you want to do is go over budget or have a late order! It is best to take those needs into considerations as you plan your design. Here are some t-shirt design ideas to help you to stay on plan:

Keep it Simple

Minimizing your design’s color, lines and texture can help to keep your budget under control when it is time to print. Images, color gradients and detailed art are complex. The more complex a design is, the more time it will take to print and the higher your cost will be. Keep the design clean and solid.

Color Matters

Choosing a one-color over a four-color can reduce cost - although that will not work with every design. A one-color option can still work well when paired with a unique t-shirt color.

Dare to Be Bold

A design with a bold outline helps your design to stand out and catch the eye of the wearer, as well as others who see it. You want your t-shirt design to stand out - this is an excellent way to do it!

Pay Attention to Sizing

Imprint size for a 4X shirt is not the same as a L, nor is it the same for a women’s large or a child’s large. Design your t-shirt to fit the imprint size of all sizes you will order. Make sure you adjust your designs accordingly based on the size of the t-shirt.

A t-shirt gets noticed when you pay attention to design and matters related to printing on time. Whether it is a funny message or an engaging design, your t-shirt will stand out in the crowd when you focus on imagination and uniqueness. Regardless, it is important to remember the more practical elements to consider.

½ cup frozen diced pineapple 1 ounce dark rum

2 ounces pineapple juice pineapple slices

2 ounces Coco Lopez coconut cream

Combine ice, frozen pineapple, pineapple juice, coconut cream and both rums in a blender until smooth and frosty. Pour into two glasses. Garnish with pineapple slices.

Other Treats

Many people enjoy the taste of pina colada in more than just a drink. If you are looking for a treat that allows you to enjoy the wonderful combination of pineapple and coconut but you want a non-alcoholic option, you may want to consider pina colada Jelly Belly jelly beans. You could also enjoy a pina colada snow cone. Many stores also sell pina colada lollipops. Have a few friends over. Serve pina coladas, and include the lollipops for the children and other people who may prefer the candy version.

Non-Food Fun

If you like fun scents in your home, burn pina colada candles or use pina colada air fresheners in your home. If you are hosting a party, having the scent in your home will add to the fun of the festivities.


Pina Colada T-Shirts

Another great way to celebrate is with a custom-designed pina colada t-shirt. You could also create a cheap custom tee that celebrates the beverage or the flavor. One great thing about a pina colada t-shirt is that it can be worn throughout the year. Wear it throughout the summer. If you live in a colder climate, wearing your pina colada tee in the middle of the winter will be a great way to remind you that summer will eventually come back.  Custom tees are also a wonderful way to advertise a restaurant or bar that is known for its frosty and refreshing summer pina coladas.

Places to Like Pina Coladas

Summer is getting into full swing, and it’s time to consider how to celebrate your summer food business or event. Why not make a custom t-shirt to celebrate summer foods? Cheap custom T-shirts add visibility to your community activities and let you create a simple way to convey your business and services to everyone you come into contact with. All of this happens without even saying a word. Here are some ideas to get you started with custom summer T-shirt designs.

Barbecue Favorites

Highlight your barbecue restaurant or something quirky with a barbecue theme that brings attention to your business during the summer months. Some grocery stores, for example, host onsite barbecue events that draw attention and business to their store. Tees that display info about a summer barbecue make people notice your brand and garner attention for the event you’re hosting. Include your group’s information, depending on your event type, and let people know you’re a part of the summer’s hottest barbecue event.

Useful and Fun Diagrams

Instead of emblazoning your barbecue tees strictly with information about your company or event, use the shirt fronts as a canvas for including some kind of humorous or useful animal diagram. For example, you can include a picture of a cow with the cuts labeled as they might be in a butcher’s directory. This is a unique approach to the barbecue aesthetic and to give tees a usefulness beyond your event itself. Consider replacing the names of the cuts with something humorous.

Hot Dog and Other Eating Contests

If you’re hosting a hot dog eating contest or other summertime eating extravaganza, use custom T-shirts to spread the word. Set up employees with custom tees to walk the boardwalk in front of the venue where you host the eating contest. This helps generate crowd interest and commitment alongside flyers and handouts.

Standard Swag

At the event itself, give participants an exclusive T-shirt that features the name of your event and any sponsor information. T-shirt giveaways are standard swag for events like this, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to give your participants a little memento to remember the day.

Sweet, Sweet Summertime Favorites

Milkshakes, ice cream cones, and french fries are all classic summertime boardwalk staples. All of these are really popular right now, and totally Instagram-worthy. Hop onto the trend with a custom summer cuisine tee that has a cool picture of an ice cream cone or a sublimated pattern featuring over-the-top milkshakes. Get customers to pour into your establishment for the T-shirt, but stay for the food.

Featuring Summer Cuisine

Use these summer favorites to advertise all kinds of businesses, from ice cream shoppes to pizza parlors. Work with a designer or browse popular Instagram hashtags featuring summer foods to find inspiration for your summer food shirt design.

Healthy Summertime Essentials

Of course, summer is hardly the time for indulgences alone. With summer comes the amazing crop of natural bounty, including fresh fruits and vegetables. If you’re selling your products at the farmer’s market or a health-centric event, use summertime foods to garner attention for the products that you offer.

Get Fresh and Healthy Tees

Create summer tees with fun healthy foods, like kale, strawberries, blueberries or beets, to advertise your gym or healthy event. Consider a local 5K fun run or a bike ride for charity. Use fruits and vegetables to make funny little puns like “let’s beet the competition” and hand them out to participants. Participants definitely want to wear those shirts again!

Why Choose Custom Summer Food Tees?

Summer food is iconic. Adding summer food to your company’ or event’s T-shirts just makes sense, and it could make dollars, too.

Food is Fun

Everyone wants a cool summer food T-shirt. From hot dogs to ice cream cones, food is just fun. There’s some intrinsic value that simply unites people and makes them want to be part of something that’s fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Using food on your summer promotional tees gives off a cool vibe that your competition may not display. Get a leg up year-round with a well-placed summer food T-shirt that catches the attention of your community.

Custom T-shirt Designs for Your Business

Custom T-shirts also give you an advantage when it comes to nearly free advertising. Employees and guests who wear your summer food tees walk around town all day with information about your company written across the front or back of the shirt.

While you may use the front of your food T-shirt to have your food emblem emblazoned across it, the back is a blank slate where you can put your company name, logo and location. This is a very convenient way to get participants to advertise for you without making them feel like walking billboards. Put a charming hamburger on the front of your summer promotional tee and your company information across the back, and customers will be asking you for shirts that let them spread the love for your brand.

Running a summer business is a great way to earn some extra money. Whether you’re trying to avoid the typical crunch of less hours during the summer or you simply want to make more money, you have several options. However, trying your hand at entrepreneurship can open a new world of possibilities to you, which is a summer business represents an ideal endeavor. Teens who operate their own summer businesses tend to earn more money than their traditionally employed counterparts. For entrepreneurial-minded youth, a summer business can be the perfect way to flex the entrepreneurial muscle without much risk involved. Custom tees are a great way to advertise your summer enterprise.

Get your information out there

Designing a T-shirt to wear while your work your summer business is a unique way to spread the word about your business and attract new customers. Even though your summer business gives you the opportunity to sidestep the traditional work uniform, inventing one of your own could pay off in more ways than one.

Company name and logo

When you consider your summer business T-shirt design, be sure to integrate your company name and logo. Even a simple block print of your company name - if you don’t want to take the time to create a logo - gets the message across.

If you’re contracted by or associated with a larger organization - like the park you’re vending at or your local public school system you’re tutoring for - ask if you can get a logo template from them to add to your shirt. Putting a well-recognized logo on your T-shirt will get you even more attention.

Contact information

In addition to your name and/or logo, you need to include some sort of contact information so that interested potential clients can get in touch with you. Add a phone number, email address or website where you can easily be reached. Let potential clients know that they can book an appointment with your service or get your one-man vending operation to work an event.

If your business name doesn’t accurately convey the service or product that you offer, include a tagline or simple explanation somewhere on your shirt. If people don’t know what you’re offering, it’ll be difficult to get them to connect with you later on.

Jobs with high visibility

If your summer business offers you high visibility, then you definitely don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to use a T-shirt to communicate that you’re open for business and happy to help. Don a bright green tee to get noticed by cars driving past or wear a neon yellow shirt for patrons to notice you across a crowded beach.

Outdoor jobs

Outdoor jobs are among the most visible since they’ll likely bring you to a nearby yard, neighborhood, or farmer’s market. When you’re highly visible and want passersby to notice the service and products that you offer, letting them know who you are and what you do helps them to decide whether they want to get in touch.

Lawn care

Chances are, your lawn care clients have neighbors. If you want the neighbors to notice the awesome job you’re doing in lawns already in their neighborhood, consider wearing an identifying tee that gives them a way to connect with you. Then you can tell them about your one-time or weekly lawn services.

Car care

If you offer car care, there will likely be pedestrians or drivers who pass by. Some of these people may want to know how you can help them take care of their own car. Include some basic information on the back of your shirt so that potential customers can take note of your company and contact information. This works perfectly for when you’re scrubbing out a tough spot at the time.

Summer vending

Summer vending opportunities, like providing refreshments at the beach or snacks at a Little League game, often require you to be fairly visible. That’s because interested customers can flag you down and purchase what you sell. Wear a brightly colored shirt that clearly conveys you’re open for business and let the customers come flowing right to you.

Color ideas

The colors that you choose for your summer business tees are important. You want to consider bright colors if you want customers to notice you from far away or read your shirt from the next yard over.

If you’re working with another organization or want to have certain colors associated with your brand - green for lawn care, for example - consider using a few different shades for different days. Always give shirts to your assistants and co-workers. Hand out shirts to family members or friends who might be interested in helping you spread the word. After all, what are friends and family for?

Create custom tees for your church’s vacation Bible school by printing your own theme and church information on T-shirts in all sizes. VBS shirts help bring the team spirit to your group and provide community awareness of your program and church. Today, we’re going to look at some of the best reasons to include cheap custom tees in your budget for this summer.

Create team spirit

One of the best things about a themed tee for your group or event is that it creates cohesion for members who participate. Nothing brings a team together like matching shirts that show off their participation as a volunteer or attendee in your church’s annual VBS program.

Choose church colors

If you have church colors or colors associated with your affiliated church school, consider using them in your T-shirt to keep design elements consistent. Having your church colors represented can give community members instant association with your church when they see VBS participants walking around the town.

Designate different camps

If you have multiple camps represented in your church’s VBS program, you may want to consider different-colored shirts for each group. For example, pick bright orange tees for the preschool program so that leaders can keep get head counts from just a quick glance. Choose to garb teen and adult volunteers in uniquely colored shirts so that children know where to go for questions or problems. It also makes adults easily visible for parents when they come to pick kids up or need some other type of assistance.

Spread the word

Custom VBS T-shirts give you the opportunity to spread the word about your VBS program and your church. Because you’re in charge of the information that goes onto these tees, you can use them as a way to advertise your church’s presence and involvement in positive children’s activities.

Include church information

Adding your church’s name is a no-brainer for designing your VBS T-shirt. Your church name gives community members an idea of the types of activities that your church provides. Adding your full church name differentiates your VBS program from the other churches in you area that have the same or similar names.

Add a Bible verse

If you’ve got the room and a theme verse that you want the kids to commit to memory, adding a Bible verse to your VBS tees is a great idea. Good verses include theme verses for your program, or simply ones that are great to have on the mind like John 3:16. Place a Bible verse across the back of each tee so that children are reminded of their memory verses as they spend time with one another. Use different-colored T-shirts for the leaders to wear with different verses throughout the week.

Keep the memory fresh for family and friends

Even after vacation Bible school week ends, your VBS tees remind children and their family members or friends of the awesome week that they had hanging out at your VBS program. Many children will wear their VBS tees long after the week passes, which keeps your church information fresh in the mind of those who see it. If you’re using your VBS program as a primarily evangelistic event, this can be a good way to kindly remind family members of children who attended that your church is a family-friendly haven that they should check out again. At the very least, the tees have a positive influence even when they’re worn beyond the VBS week itself.

Use tees as incentives

You can use tees as incentives for leaders and children alike. Depending on your budget or setup, you may only have a limited number of tees up for grabs, so making them a hot commodity can encourage children and leaders to be active participants in the program to get a shirt for themselves.

Team leaders

If you have a dress code for your leaders or anticipate that some games might get a little messy, providing them with VBS tees in advance might help cut down on the resistance that your leaders might have for participating with these events. Give leaders tees to help them remember to wear clothing that they don’t mind getting a little dirty throughout the course of the week.

Giveaway prizes

If you have a round-up event at the end of each day of VBS or a big bash at the end of the week, you can use custom tees as prizes for giveaways. For example, if a student memorizes five verses and participates in certain activities, they might qualify for a shirt. Toss them to audience members at a fun family-friendly concert event to wrap up the week.

As we head into warmer weather, people shed their coats and sweatshirts and opt for cheap custom T-shirts instead. As we come out of the spring fog, there are a couple of great summer holidays coming up that would be appropriate to commemorate with a custom T-shirt. A great way to show your patriotism is to create T-shirts for Memorial Day as well as the Fourth of July. Whether wearing them to a gathering or sharing them with friends, you can have unique shirts to celebrate each of these holidays.

A Shirt to Celebrate Memorial Day

Memorial Day is about honoring men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. It is a holiday to commemorate the sacrifices these servicemembers and their families made for their country. Instead of creating a generic patriotic shirt, there are some ways to zero in on the celebration of this holiday specifically.

Honor a fallen loved one

You may know someone, either in your family or a friend, who served in and was killed in the line of duty. You can pay tribute to this person specifically with your custom T-shirt. Put this person's name somewhere on your T-shirt.  If you had a special nickname for this individual, feel free to use this instead. You can also put "in loving memory" and either the dates they served in the military or the birth and death dates. If you have a photo, contemporary technology allows companies to screenprint a photo onto a shirt.

Honor multiple or all fallen veterans

You could pay tribute to all fallen veterans instead of an individual. This could be done by listing multiple names or by using a phrase, such as "Thank you, veterans." You could also simply put, "Happy Memorial Day" on the cheap custom T-shirts.

How to Celebrate the Fourth of July

Independence Day is another patriotic holiday that we celebrate during warm months. The day typically includes backyard barbecues, fireworks, and patriotic music.

Honor the date of independence

When designing a custom T-shirt to celebrate the Fourth of July, you could list "July 4th, 1776" somewhere on the shirt to commemorate the date.

Use a more generic phrase

You could also use a more generic phrase, such as "Happy 4th of July!" along with other wording or pictures.

Feature common things that are associated with the holiday

You could also incorporate things that people associate with the holiday. You could have your shirt feature fireworks or sparklers.

Designs for Either Holiday

A similar theme between the two holidays would be the colors you incorporate in the T-shirt. You could use red, white and blue for different elements of the shirt. You can incorporate these colors into the color of the shirt itself, the pictures you use and the font. Consider a base color of red or white and then put darker colors on it.

The United States flag

The flag is an element many companies put on patriotic shirts. You can use an image of the flag for either holiday. Imagine the flag in a wave-like pattern or just a simple rectangle.

Use pictures related to grilling out

You might feature common activities that people do on these holidays. This would include grilling out. If you throw a barbecue or a party to commemorate these occasions, you could also create custom T-shirts for the event to give to your guests or just for the hosts of the party. This would be a fun thing to give to your guests and add fun to your party. Consider words like “Smith Annual Barbecue” followed by the date.

Design Elements

There are many colors to choose from when picking a design for your cheap custom T-shirts. You don't need to keep with white. Since you're celebrating patriotic holidays, you could instead use a red or blue T-shirt. It's important to make sure to pick a font that won't drown out the rest of the shirt’s design.

Color of the font

Make sure you choose a font color that stands out from the rest of the shirt. You can also change up the font to make it more unique. Choose something that is easy to read so others won't need to guess at the wording.

Cut of the shirt

Different people like different cuts of T-shirts. Make sure to take into account the recipient's unique style. If you are giving away shirts at a party or gathering, have some in a variety of styles and sizes so

everyone gets something that fits them well. They are sure to want to wear it again in the future.

Pick comfortable material

It's important to pick material that is soft and comfortable. You don't want to put the time into creating a custom T-shirt if it's not something that you enjoy wearing.

The summer holidays are a fun time to create and wear custom T-shirts. If you take some care in creating these shirts, you can have something as a great keepsake.

High school is a special time in any young person's life. These formative years happen when kids get to participate in a variety of activities and create lasting memories and friendships. There are many events such as football games, proms, dances and graduation that kids will remember forever. Custom t-shirts are a great way to celebrate these events and help them remember these occasions for years to come. Consider how many events happen during high school and how many create long-lasting impressions on teenagers. Every event has a chance for you to create cheap customized t-shirts for that occasion as a way to promote school spirit and celebrate these years in the kids’ lives.

How to Make Appealing T-shirts

It's important to create shirts that will appeal to the kids. This can be done in a variety of ways.

Colors

White t-shirts may be less expensive, but they are also boring. You need t-shirts that appeal to a variety of kids, and that means splashes of color. By offering a variety of colors, teenagers are more interested in the shirts themselves. This gives them the opportunity to pick their favorite colors for a more unique shirt. Picking favorite colors also means a more emotional connection to the garment.

Fun Fonts

In addition to adding color to the shirts themselves, you can also play with different font colors. The font should stand out against the shirt. By adding stylistic choices for fonts, your teen can make the shirts more interesting.

Variety of Sizes

Shirts must come in a variety of sizes so as not to exclude anyone from purchasing them. Teenagers want to feel included, and offering a large range of sizes makes everyone feel welcome to buy them.

Many Styles

Teenage girls and teenage boys like different styles. Some styles are more flattering to different genders and body types. Girls will probably want different cuts of shirts than the boys will. Girls may go for closer cut shirts and boys may want more straight styles. Offer V-neck shirts for those who may prefer that style, but then crew neck shirts for other styles.

High School Events That Deserve Custom T-Shirts

There are plenty of high school events in a teenager’s four years that deserve custom t-shirts. These are just a few of them.

Homecoming Football Games

Football games are a big deal to many kids in high school. You have the players, cheerleaders, band, spirit squads and fans in the stadium. Add the homecoming atmosphere, and it’s a celebratory game all around the stadium. Create cheap customized t-shirts with the school mascot and name on them to promote school spirit at this time. There is no bigger game than homecoming. Create cheap customized t-shirts for everyone to wear to the game, and each shirt includes the date and both team names. Another option is to make t-shirts after the homecoming game, preferably if the school won, that feature the score. This can be a special keepsake for years to come.

Group Shirts

There are many different groups and activities that a child may participate in during the high school. Custom t-shirts represent a fantastic way to make teens feel like they are a part of a team. Consider shirts for a band, choir, orchestra or athletic team. If a student participates in drama, not only can you produce a drama t-shirt for the class, but you could design a shirt for each play that students participate in throughout the year. If a group goes on a special trip to perform somewhere, this also warrants a special shirt. There are many different ways to encourage students to feel pride for the school and the activities that they excel in thanks to t-shirts.

Dances

Homecoming dances and proms are also huge milestones in a teenager's life. Try creating custom t-shirts in celebration of these events. Give students the option of placing pictures on the shirts from these events to personalize the event even further. These photos on shirts are a great keepsake for students who attended different dances. Every dance has a theme, and that's a great way to make these shirts unique to a particular dance. Design the shirt with that theme in mind for that particular dance, coupled with photos of people who attended. Don't forget to include the date of the dance.

Graduation

Graduation is the ultimate milestone in everyone's life at high school, and a cheap customized t-shirt with the year of the graduating class is a fantastic going-away gift for everyone. While students sign yearbooks, leave space for signatures on the shirt itself. Signatures create an extra-special shirt that someone may get much more use out of than a yearbook.

For your graduating seniors, a custom t-shirt is a great gift. This way, they remember the years they spent in high school and the pride that they had in their school.

When building your marketing strategy, it's important to look at different areas and use those that make sense for your business. A great way to get your company name out into the world is to create cheap custom t-shirts for your customers, clients and employees. There are many directions that you can go in when creating these t-shirts. One of them is to include a memorable phrase that people will associate with your business. You can use an already established catchphrase, but you can also create one of your own. No matter which direction you go in, it's important for your phrase to attract attention and be memorable. Find out how to use catchphrases on cheap custom t-shirt to promote your business.

How to Create a Memorable Catchphrase 

Catchphrases are just like they sound. You remember them long after you see them.

Use words that are interesting, but not long

Catchphrases are immediately distinctive or unusual. Use words that are not as common to ordinary speech. This doesn't mean that you should use longer words necessarily, just ones that aren't used as often.

Use common syntax

Simpler syntax is usually catchier. Use simple sentence structure and word order to make for a more memorable quote.

Keep it short

In order to be memorable, your phrase needs to be short. If it isn't, it's not a catchphrase.

Use few personal pronouns

You want your catchphrase to appeal to the most people possible. Don't limit it by using "him/her" or "me." Phrases are more memorable if you use fewer personal pronouns.

Use present tense

Use present tense in your catchphrase. If you use past tense, it limits the quote. It makes people think that the quote refers to something specific instead of being applicable to multiple things. Think of Nike’s “Just do it.”

Use front sounds

According to a Cornell study, good quotes use certain parts of the mouth. They use much more labial and front vowel sounds. Labial sounds include m, f, p, b and v.

The phrase should work well on its own

One of the most important things in a catchphrase is that it works well on its own. It doesn't need any additional context for someone to know exactly what it means.

You can use an already established catchphrase

If you use a catchphrase that people already know, this will make it easy to gain the attention of others. People will know immediately what you mean and what you're referring to the catchphrase. It will also help your company stick in their minds. Consider “Got milk?” or similar questions.

I have my phrase, now what about the shirt?

Coming up with a catchy slogan is just half the fun. The rest happens when you design a cheap custom T-shirt.

Make sure that your catchphrase is appropriate

Your phase needs to be applicable to your business. If you pick something that has nothing to do with your business, it leaves people more confused than intrigued.

Avoid material that is offensive

You don't want your cheap custom t-shirt to offend potential customers. Just because a catchphrase has adult language in it, that doesn't mean you need to write it off altogether. Instead, use symbols to replace certain words. If you're using a popular catchphrase, people will still recognize it and you can still use it if you think it's appropriate for your business.

Choose colors wisely

The colors you choose for your shirt's overall look and the lettering needs to be eye-catching without clashing. Use contrasting colors to really make font pop, but make sure these colors still complement each other.

Make your logo and company name easy to see

Using a catchphrase to attract attention is all for not if people can't see or don't remember the name of your company after viewing the T-shirt. Your logo and/or company name should work around your catchphrase. People need to easily remember the design so they can look up your company later.

Optimize your website

If your website doesn't work well or isn't mobile-friendly, much of your work will be for nothing. The majority of people will look up your company on a mobile device after seeing your custom shirts. If your website is hard to read or a mess, customers will not investigate further. No matter how interesting your custom T-shirts look, if someone can't navigate your website easily you won't gain new customers through that portal. Make sure that the content on your website is error-free. Issues with spelling and grammar turn people off easily. Take pride in your website as it's an important part of gaining customers and your company's overall image.

Custom T-shirts are a great way to market your company out in the everyday world. If you provide people with high-quality and attractive cheap custom t-shirts, they wear them more often and you reap more benefits from this marketing strategy.

Spring is an exciting time of year. Everything is growing, the green is coming back and everyone is beginning to ditch the winter coats. Many people love spring and love to get back outside. Winter is confining while spring reinvigorates everyone. It's a great season to take advantage of new marketing ideas, including a cheap custom t-shirt for your business. As people shed their coats, why not have them promoting your business at the same time?

What to Include in Your Custom Spring T-shirts

You have several factors to consider when making and designing your custom spring t-shirts. Take a look at these aspects as you go through this process.

Make use of pastel or vibrant colors

There is no other season that accepts as wide of a color range as spring does. You can go the pastel route with blues, yellows, greens, and pinks. Light colors are great as the weather warms up as those keep you cooler. Another great option is to use vibrant colors to mark the season. After a dull winter, people are more interested in bringing some colors into their lives and clothing represents a great way to do that. In addition to the actual shirt reflecting the season, you can also play with your font colors. Just make sure that the different colors complement each other. It's important that your company name, as well as any other important words, leap off the shirt and gain attention.

Make the shirt memorable with images

The shirt itself needs to be interesting and memorable. If it isn't, no one pays attention to it, let alone remembers the name of the company that displayed prominently on it. A memorable image helps people remember it and associate it with your company.

Think about a logo or company redesign

To go along with the theme of renewal, why not take a look at your existing designs? It may be time to work with a graphic designer. While you're taking the time to create shirts, you want to produce a high-quality product. Take a look at your fonts and logo that you use on your website and other areas. Are these the best they can be? It may be a good time to revamp your company's look.

Make the shirt comfortable and fabricated out of light material

The material that you use for your spring t-shirts is important. You want the material to be both comfortable as well as light to go along with the season. The material needs to be pleasing in order for people to wear them. Even if you give away shirts for free, they won't be worn if they're uncomfortable.

Have a variety of sizes available

In order to entice more people to wear your spring shirts, make them available in a variety of sizes and include a size chart. This helps people get the right size the first time. You also need to make sure to be responsive when someone has a comment or question. Your dedication to customer service also inspires people to wear your spring shirts.

Use them to show off spring promotions

With the change of seasons, many companies offer a variety of spring promotions. T-shirts are a great way to showcase your different spring promotions. For example, you could give away shirts with certain purchases. You could also use a cheap custom t-shirt to promote or commemorate a spring event. This would include the event date along with your company logo and other specifics.

Spring Events Ripe for T-Shirt Promotions

It's a great idea to time your spring promotions along with the spring holidays such as Easter, Mother's Day and Earth Day. These events are great places to use social media to advertise your promotions, t-shirt giveaways and sales. Facebook and Twitter offer great outlets for different contests and promotions. In order to gain attention and get in different holiday spirits, you create a contest such as a jelly bean guessing game or a post about what Mother's Day means to someone.

Throw an outdoor event

With the warming weather, it's a good time of year to start planning an outdoor event either for your employees alone or for your employees together with clients. This is a great place to encourage people to wear your spring-inspired t-shirts.

Sponsor a sports team

Not only can you help out a local team, you can also promote your business. If you become a sponsor, you can have your company information proudly displayed on the team's shirts. This is a great way to get your company name out in your community as well as neighboring communities.

Spring brings much excitement along with it, and it's a great time to update your marketing strategy with a specialized cheap custom t-shirt.

School field days represent a great way to get kids outside in the fresh air for a day of physical activities, fun and play time that everyone enjoys. Whether you’re already familiar with field days or are just starting out with the concept of an all-day outdoor fun day, consider all the great ways you can incorporate a unique element into your school’s event — custom design tees that you can use for a variety of purposes.

About School Field Days

For those unfamiliar with this event, a school field day typically entails day at the end of the year held at elementary and middle schools. Field day encourages students to gather outdoors in the school’s main field or athletic facilities and engage in fun physical activities. These activities include obstacle courses, bounce houses, soccer, kickball, dodgeball or touch tag. Students often work together to complete relays or team exercises that challenge them to collaborate to achieve a common goal.

Getting Active Outdoors

Educators and administrators choose to hold field days for a variety of reasons, starting with the fact that they get kids out of the classroom. That, in turn, encourages healthy habits like exercising and spending time away from electronic devices. Field days can be a good time to get students on track for the national physical activity guidelines that set the standard for what is a healthy level of exercise.

Sense of Community

Furthermore, field days help build a sense of community by bringing kids, parents, teachers and school administrators together in one day-long event. While kids get to feel like they are a part of a larger family that extends to their entire school and even their district, parents can connect over planning the event and teachers learn how to work together more closely as a collective staff. Field days are a good time to set the foundation for other community activities such as fundraising, activism and lawmaking.

Adding Custom T-shirts 

Custom design tees are an option to offer at field days that many people overlook. However, if you want to elevate your event beyond a typical program — which, although engaging, can get tedious for students, parents, and teachers if it is the same type of field day year after year — custom T-shirts are a great way to bring more people together. Custom T-shirts give your event a special significance that it otherwise may not appear to have. With customized T-shirts, your program won’t be “just another field day. Make it an event that kids and other members of the community look forward to year after year.

Custom Designs at Affordable Prices

Companies can print T-shirts with any logo, wording or design of your choice. Printers then produce the shirts in bulk so that you can distribute them to a large number of people. You can design something of your own or ask someone to design it for you, but either way, you have a large number of alternatives when it comes to printing out a final product that you’re happy with putting on everyone’s backs. Furthermore, custom T-shirts are fairly inexpensive, especially when you order large numbers. That means that you can satisfy all of your students without digging too much into the fairly tight budget that most schools have.

Why use custom T-shirts for field days?

There are several advantages to ordering customized T-shirts to use at your next field day. To start, you can use different colors and designs for each grade, allowing you to build a sense of spirit, solidarity, and competition among the different grades at your school. This allows students in each grade to feel more bonded to each other and to work together more cohesively, while also being more engaged in the field day because they feel a greater desire to make their team proud.

School Spirit

You can also add school spirit to field day T-shirts by inserting your school’s logo or slogan, a relevant picture or even the names of the students (depending on the size of your school). Then, hand them out at the field day to get students excited to be there. T-shirts are also a great option for parents. This can get them in the spirit of volunteering at field day, especially if they have fun T-shirts to show for it. Thus, parents feel like they are part of a community that they want to help.

Make the kids happy by giving out custom design tees as prizes for different games that take place at the event. Prizes can provide motivation for different teams to compete as well as allow them to remember field day long after the actual event is over.

St. Patrick’s day is a holiday that few people in the United States understand, but most love to celebrate it. After all, who would pass up the opportunity to drink beer and eat delicious food while showing off your green apparel and spending time with friends? It’s the ultimate proof that Americans love to have a good time. It has an added benefit for businesses which can capitalize on this fun-loving atmosphere. Before and on St. Patrick’s Day, bars and restaurants can use cheap custom tees to promote themselves to potential customers, which helps these businesses out in a multitude of ways.

Increase Customer Engagement by Wearing Green

Cheap custom tees are one such promotional tool, which can increase customer engagement and be modified to fit any occasion - including St. Patrick’s Day.

Symbolizing Business and the Occasion

These items of clothing can be custom printed to represent anything you’d like, including your bar or restaurant’s logo, as well as special images and colors symbolizing the occasion. You can then use them in a variety of ways, but the most basic is handing them out to customers before and on St. Patrick’s day, especially during bar and restaurant promotions. This strategy has several advantages, starting with the customers that receive the shirts, who will be more motivated to come back if they feel like they have received special attention from your establishment.

A Lasting Advertisement

Furthermore, the custom tees have an impact that extends beyond just the people who receive them, as these individuals will likely wear them in other locations where more people will see the design and learn about your business. This extends to other purposes such as having your employees wear the shirts while they are at work, which spreads the message you are trying to send beyond just the customers that receive shirts individually.

Specialty Cocktail Promotions

A creative way that you can get people engaged with your bar or restaurant by using customized tees is by promoting specialty cocktails that you have created in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.

It's All in the Name and Timing

From “Shamrock Juice” to the “Irish Flag,” mixed drinks are an exciting way to mark the occasion while bringing even more customers who are attracted to the unique options available on this day alone. People are more willing to buy something if they don’t think they’ll be able to get it again sometime in the future, and this rule perfectly applies to specialty drinks offered on holidays such as St. Patrick’s Day. When people are out with friends, they will spend freely on these one-of-a-kind concoctions in a way that they wouldn’t on regular beer that they can get anytime.

Making a Connection 

As a result of this connection, a great opportunity for bars and restaurants is to use custom tees to promote these specialty drinks, creating a novelty shirt that feels special for the person that receives it, rather than just generic. These shirts will bring the wearer back to the place where they got it, which in this case is your bar or restaurant. Furthermore, they will be reminded of the special feeling they had when they were sipping on green martinis in your establishment on a fun holiday with their friends - which is likely to encourage them to go back another time.

Slogans and Irish Images

There are many ways that you can get creative with custom tees for your bar or restaurant on St. Patrick’s Day, such as coming up with cool art and slogans that represents the day as well as your own business.

Be Unique

When designing, you’ll want to avoid too many tropes like four-leaf clovers and leprechauns while also making sure to evoke the unique nature of the holiday. Whether this means using a lot of green or displaying the colors of the Irish flag, you have many choices that you can incorporate your own logo or slogan into. Ultimately, you want to make the design something unique that people can remember and use to commemorate the event that they experienced.

Cheap Yet Effective 

Best of all, custom printed tees are a relatively inexpensive way to promote your business, especially when compared to printed advertisements or other marketing methods. The shirts themselves cost very little, and the print services is made to minimize costs in order to make sure that the advertising value outweighs the price of manufacturing the apparel.

And at the end of the day, the benefits you will gain by attracting customers (and retaining them in the months and years to come) who experience your bar or restaurant during St. Patrick’s Day will far outweigh the costs.

From the perpetual trendiness of SoulCycle to the explosive popularity of Zumba, health-minded people always follow new fitness crazes. Though fitness fans may eventually give up and move on to something else, it’s still worthwhile for physical trainers and gyms to capitalize on what people are into while it lasts. One way to do this is by printing custom designed T-shirts to use for promotional purposes. Custom design tees can help attract customers who appreciate your use of unique marketing methods, and they also help retain customers who become more closely bonded to your business.

Advantages of Custom T-Shirts

Custom T-shirts have several advantages, starting with their value as giveaways for customers and potential customers. Those who already frequent your business appreciate the extra perks that come with it, such as a custom designed shirt. These customers are more likely to stay with your company because they feel like you give them personal attention. People who consider signing up with you, however, may sometimes just need an extra nudge. Handing them a free T-shirt with an appealing design can convince them that you are more attentive and individualized than your competitors.

Advertise Your Fitness Business 

Furthermore, giving out custom T-shirts is a great way to advertise your fitness business. Not only does the T-shirt remind the person who wears it of the services you offer, but everyone who sees the person wearing it learns about your company. This is especially effective if you have a catchy design, and people may even stop the person wearing the shirt to ask them about it!

Creating a Top T-Shirt

There are several things you can do with custom-printed T-shirts that apply specifically to your work as a physical trainer or gym owner to help you achieve the aforementioned goals of this simple marketing campaign.

Promote a Boot Camp

To start, use T-shirts to promote boot camps that your business offers to get people to their desired level of fitness quickly. These boot camps are fun but also challenging. Custom shirts can serve to motivate people who are already enrolled in your boot camp, build a sense of team unity and encourage them to see it through to the end of the program.

Spread the Word About New Fitness Classes

T-shirts can also apply to promoting a new fitness class that you offer, whether it’s yoga, self-defense, Zumba, cycling, running or anything else. Though you always have people who seek out fitness classes on purpose because they are determined to participate, the majority of people find out about them just through seeing advertisements or deciding on a whim that they want to get fit (especially around New Year’s and the onset of summer). This makes creating and spreading custom-printed T-shirts a smart business marketing strategy since you expose as many people as possible to your business. Hopefully, the T-shirts convince a few people to sign up for fitness classes just because they see your shirt and find the inspiration they need!

Let Everyone Know About Fitness Challenges

Capitalize on fitness challenges that are popular today by creating custom T-shirts, whether it involves planking in random places, walking a certain number of steps each day or even running 2,017 miles in 2017 (which is actually less intimidating than it sounds). You can design a fun and creative logo around the challenge, and print the names of customers participating in it on the back of the shirt so that they can feel like you give them individual attention while recognizing that they are part of something larger than just themselves.

Memorialize Special Competitions

Custom T-shirts work for special competitions that your company hosts as these items are a great way to get more people engaged and involved. Give shirts away as prizes, or award them to contestants so they can always remember their participation and success. That way, participants are more likely to come back the next year so they can experience something equally fun.

Cool Workout Gear People Want to Wear

Finally, use T-shirts to help your customers work out by printing custom designs onto their favorite sportswear brands. People can be very selective about what they wear and may choose brands endorsed by their favorite athletes. The good news is that most of these brands have T-shirts that allow you to custom print a design! That way, you can provide your customers with a slightly larger incentive to come back when they put their new workout clothes to good use.

All of these suggestions are just a few of the many ways that you can use custom T-shirts to promote physical trainers and gyms, and they prove how versatile T-shirts can be. Take a look at what we can do for your custom T-shirt needs starting with the design phase until final delivery.

Good Times

As an artist, you always look for ways to give your work a wider reach. After all, the more people that see the content that you produce, the higher the chance that one or more of them will take notice and start purchasing from you. However, there are many barriers that stand in the way of promoting your work. Especially in a technological world where the internet is saturated with artists trying to make their mark, it can be difficult for any individual to get the “big break” that they’re looking for. However, there’s one way to promote your art that few people expect: printing it on cheap custom made t-shirts.

Affordability

These days, custom screen printing is fast, easy and affordable. It is accessible almost anywhere thanks to internet ordering, and most cities have multiple locations that print t-shirts for you to pick up in person. Some websites offer services that print t-shirts and ship them back to you with an average turnaround time of two weeks. This makes it possible for people living almost anywhere to order custom printed apparel. Furthermore, companies often offer their custom printing services for just a little over the cost of the raw materials, especially when you purchase in bulk.

Just Order Online

The process of ordering online is straightforward. Submit your design to a custom printing company, and then choose the size, color, number and type of apparel that you want the design printed on. Cheap custom made t-shirts are the most popular option, but you can pick anything from hoodies and crewnecks to tank tops and jerseys if you’d like. Some screen printing companies offer accessories such as hats or key chains.

Marketability

There is an almost endless number of ways that you can use t-shirts to promote your artwork. Starting by offering them for free or as prizes on your own website or social media. For example, you could say that anyone who orders from your website will receive a free t-shirt, or create a contest on your Instagram account promising a t-shirt to people who recreate your artwork in unique and interesting ways. Offering physical, tangible items to people is a great way to get them engaged with your work. Fans and followers who don’t win something will see others interacting with your art and want to join in, too.

Distributing at Events and Art Shows

As an alternative, you could hand out these shirts at relevant locations such as art shows and galleries so long as you obtain the permission of the gallery owner or the art show director. These venues offer a great way to market yourself to your audience because you know that the people there are already interested in art - you just have to make them aware of what you have to offer. Furthermore, it is much more appealing to offer free giveaways than to simply set up a booth showing people about what you can do.

Why T-Shirts Matter

There are several reasons why t-shirts matter to your artwork. First, fans see a tangible, physical representation of your work that they can touch and experience, which makes it real for them instead of just an abstraction. If people have this view of your art, they will be more likely to want to support it so that they can see more examples of it in the future. Aficionados become passionate about your art in a way that they just don’t get from seeing pictures of artwork posted online. This is the same reason people go to art museums when they could look up famous pieces online. There’s something about the physical that is just more appealing.

A Lasting Representation of Your Artwork

And t-shirts stay with a person even after they leave your presence in a way that paper products like flyers or brochures, or even digital methods like following you on social media, don’t. Someone can throw away a brochure or scroll past your Instagram updates, but if they have a t-shirt from you they will most likely wear it regularly. That’s why your t-shirt should be well-designed and aesthetically pleasing. A custom shirt serves as a personal reminder of your artwork that will keep them interested and coming back for more.

Even better, having art on a cheap custom made t-shirt exposes more people than just the person who is wearing it. An eye-catching design can attract countless admirers who would otherwise have no idea that you existed or were making appealing work. It’s a conversation-starter for the person wearing the shirt, and the wearer will hopefully tell people why he or she received the shirt and what your art is all about. Therefore, the impact reaches much farther than that one personal interaction you’re able to have with the person wearing your shirt.

Do you love the smell of infield dirt in the morning? Do you relish the glow of dew on the grass in the early morning as you prep for practice? Do you look forward to spring thaws so you can hit get back to your outdoor sports? If you or your kids participate in some kind of recreational sport, January represents the time of year you start thinking about spring sports. Once the weather turns warmer in March or April, it’s time to get out your ball glove, tennis racket or running shoes to prepare for the spring ritual of competitive sports. There’s another way to get ready for the first practice of the season, and that’s designing custom sports tees for your team.

Spring Sports Palooza

You have several options for spring sports, including softball, baseball, golf, tennis, track and field, and swimming. Even though some of these sports aren’t necessarily team events, you can still create custom tees for these sports. Spring sports occur with schools, local rec leagues, YMCA facilities, church leagues and private country clubs.

Winter is the Time 

Winter months are the perfect time to create custom tees for your team simply because you want them ready for the very first team meeting. You start registering team members in January or February, and then you clear your calendar to hold practices. As you gather names of people on your team, transfer some of that information into the orders for your custom tees. Amid the names, heights and birthdays of your players, remember to ask for T-shirt sizes!

Designing the Look

Several elements go into the look of your spring sports custom sports tees. This requires some information before placing an order.

Team Data

The team name goes on the front along with the team logo. If you know a good graphic designer, either a teammate or a parent, have that person create a unique team logo. Maybe the team had a logo from last season. This design definitely goes on the front next to the team name.

Player Info

Don’t forget to customize each shirt with the player’s name and jersey number on the back. If anyone has a special nickname, that’s where this goes. Otherwise, last names are the standard for players and coaches.

Colors

The colors of the shirts should complement your logo. The simplest ones involve a monochromatic T-shirt with one color for the text. If you have a dark-colored shirt, go with white or yellow text. For a lighter shirt, black or navy blue text remains appropriate.

Less Can Be More

However, you don’t have to limit yourself to just one or two colors. Custom tees or jerseys offer a chance to get creative. It just depends on how much time and effort you want to spend creating a team look. Take into account hues, complementary colors and supplementary colors on the color wheel. Keep in mind, too, that the fancier you make your T-shirts and jerseys, the more expensive your printing costs become.

Economics and Logistics of Custom Tees

Custom T-shirts are the easiest to design, and they are the least expensive simply because T-shirts are the most common type of apparel. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to just T-shirts.

Warm-Ups

Long-sleeve warm-up shirts or jackets are also an option if your season starts with a chill in the air. Sweat pants, sweatshirts and hoodies come into play in cold weather. For long-sleeve shirts, consider billboard jerseys that have text across the back shoulders and on the sleeves. You might order customized bags so everyone has a place to store their gear and warm-ups during game time.

Special Jerseys

For baseball and softball shirts, formal uniforms are button-up shirts made of heavier materials than ordinary T-shirts. Keep in mind these are more expensive, but you want rugged uniforms that last an entire season. Players and parents may want more than one uniform to alleviate laundry concerns, and you might need home and away jerseys depending on the sport.

Additional Shirts

Don’t forget to involve the team’s fans in the bleachers. Family members and friends of players want to show off their team spirit by rooting for their favorite player. Just like fans who wear player jerseys of professional sports teams, create some team spirit with friends and family who sit in the stands.

Order in Advance

Take care of the ordering process before the first meeting of the year. This lets everyone have their uniforms before the season starts, and it gets the overall order started as soon as possible so the team has uniforms in time for its first game. The sooner you start the ordering process, the sooner you get the money to place the order. Delineate a portion of the team sign-up form for additional shirts and their prices so everyone knows what to expect.

Custom tees and team uniforms foster team unity and team spirit, whether you watch your team from the stands, in the dugout or from the side of the pool. Custom tees represent a fantastic way to unify your team from the first meeting through your league championship game or meet.

Creating custom tees offers a fun alternative to standard office wear, group celebrations and birthday or holiday gift-giving. Perhaps your perceived color blindness leaves you hesitant to put together a great look. After all, even the best tee-worthy statements fall flat if camouflaged in the color of the tee. And the statement and the message form the purpose of a great tee. With colors running the full spectrum, how do you choose hues to produce an attractive custom tee that gets your message across to your potential customers? How do you pair a light steel tee with gold nugget lettering successfully? Does chamois even match with graphite? What color is wisteria anyway? Learn how to choose cheap custom tees colors that attract attention.

General Concepts and Color

Fortunately, with a few hints and tips, you can produce fantastic-looking cheap custom tees. Keep in mind a few general concepts when choosing a color for your order.

Visibility

Do letters and images stand out enough to be seen at a distance? While size plays a role in visibility, color greatly enhances this quality as well. After all, if a passerby needs to invade your personal space to read a tee, this gets a bit uncomfortable.

Message

Is your message clearly presented? The whole point of a custom tee is to get the word out to others This can be a fun take on an event, a silly comment, some political commentary or a statement regarding your business’ integrity. With any vibe, lettering and tee colors enhance or detract from the words and images.

Wearability

While economical, custom tees still represent an expense in terms of dollars and time. Designing a piece that unifies employees or family while becoming a memory maker (think of all the meaningful old tees you simply cannot throw out), proves worthy of the cost. In other words, if no one wears it, the message does not get out easily. Ready to get started on color?

Get the Word Out

Creating cheap custom tees usually means you have a message to spread. In particular, this word may relate to your company or a cause you support which offer a starting point in choosing a color.

Company Branding

When looking to promote your business, tees offer a casual, comfortable way to introduce yourself. Looking to your logo for color inspiration keeps things all in the family. After all, professionals likely developed the logo, and their expertise includes color know-how.

Charitable Causes

Another popular use of the custom tee is bringing awareness to charitable causes. The hues that represent the organization or color its logo work well together and attract attention. Use these choices as your starting point.

Opposites Attract

A quick lesson in color principles helps create a tee that you and those wearing it love. Check out a color wheel for inspiration. Use the following concepts to guide your choices.

Contrast

People notice bold-colored lettering that contrasts a tee’s color. Plus, this color scheme increases visibility. For instance, dark tees with light text and light tees with dark print offer a clear message.

Complement

In choosing ink color, think complementary colors. Hues directly across from one another on the color wheel. Note that too much strong contrast can be overwhelming. The colors next to one another on the wheel (analogous) offer a gentle contrast. Monochromatic colors (shades of the same hue) create shading and definition.

We Go Together

Pulling all the options together in a cohesive, wearable look requires a few other considerations. Simplicity and the call of the seasons offer valuable clues to color choices.

Simplification

Keep the layout and colors of your tee simple to avoid crowding and maintain message clarity. Limiting yourself to one or two colors works to this end. While the standard, go-to white tee may scream simplicity, white images on colored shirts prove more striking.

Seasonal Considerations

When designing a custom tee, the season when it is introduced plays a valuable role in color choice. For instance, black tee shirts at summer events leave participants sweating and uncomfortable, and that’s not a memory you want associated with your tee or event.

Ordering Hints

When sitting before your computer and inputting your color choices, a few principles come into play. Consider the following before you click to complete your order.

Computer Color

Remember when ordering that computer graphic features affect the color you see. For one, you do not always wear your tee in spaces illuminated by light boxes. Second, filters in your computer brighten images for visual appeal during your online design experiences.

Color Adjustment

When designing your cheap custom tee, keep in mind that adjustments to accommodate your desires sometimes pan out. For instance, if you love a lighter shirt with pastel lettering, visibility decreases. However, adding a darker outline around the letters highlights your message.

Still at a loss? Look for company suggestions as to colors that work well together. Seek the input of others. Ask a customer service representative for help. After all, at TakeHold, we love to create amazing shirts for you!

Uniforms don't have to be uncomfortable and unattractive. Instead, provide your employees with customized company T-shirts to wear at work. Providing customized T-shirts to your employees to wear during their shift has multiple benefits both for your company as well as for the individual employees. Both sides can benefit from this strategy. Here are some reasons to consider providing a cheap custom t-shirt to each of your employees.

More Affordable Than Office Clothes

By providing your employees with, or giving them the opportunity to buy, customized T-shirts, you can help them save a great deal of money. If you accept this casual-wear as work appropriate, your employees won't have to spend so much money buying other work attire. Dress pants, shirts, ties and shoes can add up to a great deal. Never mind if you have to dry clean them.

Basic Maintenance

T-shirts are much cheaper, and easier to maintain and clean. Your employees will have an affordable option and not be forced to buy as many fancy clothes. This can be especially helpful for either casual Fridays or employees that work in a shop environment.

Promote Consistency

Often times, when comparing dress clothes of one person to the dress clothes of another person, you will be able to tell who has more disposable income to spend on these clothes.

Level the Playing Field

By providing T-shirts, you level the playing field. Envy and division will no longer have a place in your work environment. It won't matter who has more money and can afford more fancy clothes. Everyone can enjoy the customized T-shirts instead.

Show Departmental Affiliations

You can choose to have certain teams wear certain shirts. You could also offer a options from which employees can choose. By encouraging those on the same team to wear the same shirts, it can help promote pride in the team on which they work. A special T-shirt can also help them even work together better.

Commemorate Events

You could also offer special shirts to commemorate certain events or anniversaries of the company. This offers your employees a variety of shirts to choose from.

Marketing and Branding

By providing your employees with company T-shirts, they can act like walking advertisements for your company.

Everywhere Employees Go

When they go out to lunch or out after work, they will be wearing their company-issued T-shirts. This will help get the name of your company out to more people and show others that your employees take pride in where they work. Not only will this inspire potential customers, but potential employees as well.

Comfort Level

It's no secret that happy employees are productive employees. Your employees are sure to be happier if they are more comfortable.

Quality Matters

T-shirts are one of the most comfortable things that you can wear. Make sure you get good quality material when you order your custom T-shirts. You want your employees to be comfortable a work in lightweight, cottony goodness.

Designing Your Customized Employee T-shirts

You have several things to consider during the design phase of a customized T-shirt. If you don’t plan things out, the overall product won’t turn out very well.

Graphic Designer

When designing your customized T-shirts, it's a good idea to work with a graphic designer or marketing company. Graphic designers can help you pick the right types, designs and colors for your shirts. They are highly skilled in knowing what works best and what goes together.

Company Logo

You need to make sure that your company logo is prominently displayed on the shirt. You want people to see it easily as the log serves as your main brand identity to people unfamiliar with your company.

Company Name

Just as with the logo, you need to make sure that your company name is easy to see on your shirts. Don't use so much stuff on the shirt that the name gets lost. You want people to notice the shirt, but also be able to read the company name at the same time.

Effective Use of Colors 

White shirts can be really boring. Consider choosing another color to help draw attention to the shirt. It is also a good idea to use color in your font and logo. Make sure to pick colors that complement each other. Your graphic designer can help you pick the best colors to put together so it draws the most attention.

Customized T-shirts offer a great marketing opportunity, while also offering a comfortable option for your employees' attire. If you follow the above guidelines and take care when planning, you can come up with a great shirt or two to provide to your employees.

A new T-shirt can help to keep your new passion forefront in your mind, and help to raise awareness among those around you.

Elevate a Campaign

Maybe your business is getting ready for a special promotion--that sounds like the perfect time for a custom tee! Whether it’s a special sales event or marketing campaign, T-shirts can help to make the occasion special.

Boost Your Band, Club or Other Group

Custom t-shirts are great marketing tools for many different businesses, but the industry that tends to use them the most is the music industry. If you keep the following in mind, you can have a create a t-shirt that will bring fans and success to you and your band. A band needs to make a custom t-shirt as part of its overall marketing strategy to help build awareness about the band. Customized t-shirts also give your fans something to purchase to support you that they can wear for years to come.

What to Include

There are various elements that make a custom t-shirt more appealing and memorable. Consider what to include on the tees for your band.

Eye-catching graphics or images

You need to make your shirt attractive and noticeable. A professional printing company can help you with your design. It is beneficial to have graphic artists working on your design because they will know what works best on a shirt. The initial impression is important as you want people to notice it with a simple glance. You need them to pay enough attention to actually read the band name on the shirt.

Quality shirt material

Thank your fans by making shirts with high-quality materials. If the shirt is uncomfortable, no one will wear it. If the material is soft and comfortable, people tend to wear it out in public time after time. Many T-shirts are made with a thin material, so make sure that you get something a little thicker that people will appreciate.

Have a variety of cuts available

Make sure you offer T-shirt cuts that appeal to both men and women. Some women may prefer v-necks, while men may appreciate muscle shirts. By having a variety of cuts, your encourage more people to buy shirts.

Spring for a shirt with color

White T-shirts can be rather generic. If you use a color that complements your band's logo, go ahead and use that. Color makes the shirt more interesting for people to both see and wear.

Band name or logo

Make sure the name of your band is large and in a font that's easy to read. Again, you want people to remember the shirt, but also the name of your band.

Tour dates

If you have a good number of appearances during the year, include those on the back. Many bands do this. It demonstrates credibility by showing that your band is good enough to have several bookings to its credit.

How to Distribute T-Shirts

If you're just starting out, it's a good idea to give some shirts away for free. Give them to friends and family to wear at events. By giving away the shirts, your friends and family can act as walking advertisements for your band. If the shirt is eye-catching, people that see the t-shirt will look up your band. Make sure you have a mobile-friendly website. Many people will probably look up your band on their smartphone.

Sell them at concerts

You want to have a stash of T-shirts when you're on the road. If you put on a good show, fans will stick around to buy merchandise to support you.

Sell them on your band's website

Make sure these shirts are also available on your website. There will be people that may not have waited to buy them in person but will look up your website to buy shirts later. This strategy taps the market of your fans that haven't yet made it to your concert, but like you so much and are interested in supporting you.

Create shirts for special events

You can also create shirts that are specific to certain events. Since special events don’t happen as often, you'll find people that are interested in these shirts. You could have these shirts exclusively at these events at nowhere else. For these, make sure to include the date of the event. People like pulling the shirt out later on and remembering the good time they had.

Give shirts away to fans

It's important to acknowledge your fans. As a band, you need to make sure to keep up your social media interactions. You could offer contests to those fans, with the prize being a free T-shirt.

When planning to use T-shirts as part of your marketing plan for your band, you need to have both a quality band and a quality website. The best T-shirt won't be bought if you don't have the quality band to back it up. You also need to have a fully functioning, user-friendly website that allows people to easily find out more about your band and purchase merchandise. Your website should be mobile-friendly. If people can't read through it on their phones, they probably won't take the time to look it up at home later. The right approach can make your band stand out from the rest.

There are many dos and do nots when it comes to getting the finished product you want from a custom screen-printed T-shirt. The best way to avoid getting off-track is to think things through and plan well from the beginning. We all know how valuable taking a process step-by-step can be. Whether the results you want from your T-shirt are in marketing recognition or motivation, in dollars or the spirit of a common cause, there are actions to take so your T-shirt design hits the mark. Discover how to design and order custom t-shirts fast and right.

The Design Phase

An experienced, professional graphic designer will help you create a logo or design that accomplishes your main overall goals: communicating your message and promoting your organization, brand or cause. You must understand what kind of design may appeal to your target audience in the first place. Nobody knows them better than you do. Share this information. A designer is trained to translate this knowledge visually.

Creating a Logo from Scratch

If you need to create a logo from scratch, express any ideas in your mind to the designer. You want your design to stand out and appeal to your particular market. If you have an existing logo, a professional can envision how it will translate to a T-shirt. The designer will give you impressions on whether or not your logo is powerful enough for the medium of a T-shirt. Perhaps there are ways it can be stylized or simplified for even more impact.

Simple Mistakes to Avoid

Consider a few simple mistakes to avoid. For example, if you are creating a new design and are taken with an image you want to incorporate, be sure it is one you own or have the rights to use.

Design to Scale

Be sure that the logo will be the right size for reproduction. It cannot look too large or small on the front of different sizes of T-shirt. Find the right proportion that will translate to the full-size range of your order. With sizes for women, be sure the logo won’t get stretched out or sit in unflattering ways.

Image Quality

Talk to the printer to be sure you understand that company’s needs. Confirm that you are getting them the type of file for best results. This is usually a kind of vector file, a format which ensures there is no loss of image quality when the image is resized.

Scheduling

Discuss ideas with the designer and printer for the best schedule to get you the best results. Although, when necessary, screen printing can be done quickly, give yourself time for reviewing and approving designs before the shirts go into final production.

Lettering

Both of these professionals will be sure you get the most from any text in your design. You want it to really “pop” when people read it. Your designer will advise you if too many words clutter your intent. Would an image (acquired or custom-designed) convey it better? Don’t make people strain to read what you need them to. If the fonts and letters are not clear - too skinny, too fat, too curvy - they can be adjusted.

Colors

There are more color choices than ever before in custom T-shirts. Be sure the color you pick is appealing and one that supports your message. Neon lime may be right for a fun event, but not for a serious cause. Decide if the color needs to be gender neutral or can have specific gender appeal. Have no more than two or three colors in your graphic, or it will become muddled to the viewer. Be sure to find sharp contrasts within the color palette of your logo and shirt so it is easy to read. If your brand has a particular Pantone color, bring that number to your printer, so you’ll get the closest match possible.

Quality

Pick the level of quality for comfort, style, and price that plays to your best advantage. Is the shirt for an ongoing marketing effort? Is it for a one-time event? How fashionable must it be if you want people to keep wearing it? Have a basic understanding of the different T-shirt fabrics because not all of them are suitable for screen printing.

The Order Is In: Review, Revision, and Approval

When working with a professional designer and printer, you should already avoid the design and ordering pitfalls.

Check for Minor Errors

Even so, look at a mock-up as close to the finished product as possible, if time allows. Check it once more for accuracy, including all spellings, letters, and words. This is your final chance to catch any small mistakes.

Taking a few extra minutes to review your order along the way will help you get custom t-shirts everyone will want to wear.

Raising money for charities is so common in today’s society. One of the best and most common ways of doing so is through custom T-shirt printing. Custom T-shirts cover so many bases and serve multiple functions at once. The profits from the original sale of the T-shirts go towards a good cause while the shirt itself acts as a form of advertising for the charity.

Why Custom T-shirts?

Custom T-shirts are an affordable and effective way to raise awareness and money for any charity, foundation or cause. They are also fun to design and create, and custom T-shirts provide a way for more people to get involved with the organization. The design itself can represent what your cause is all about and include a custom caption to make sure the message is clear.

Ordering and Promoting

Once you have the design down, you only need to decide how many you need and place the order. You may already have a great forum in mind for selling them, or you can use multiple online platforms that help people sell T-shirts for charity. No matter the plan, these represent a great way to raise money and promote your good cause.

Consider the Reasons To Do It

However, you may still not be convinced. Although it is straightforward and affordable to create custom T-shirts, you may wonder if it is effective. Don’t worry. If you are still unsure if custom T-shirt printing is the right way to promote your charity, we have built this list of reasons why you should do so. Keep in mind that these are just a few of the reasons why it’s a good idea as there are many others that we couldn’t fit on here. But this should help clarify any questions regarding why so many people choose to print custom shirts and wear them proudly for charity.

1. All Proceeds Go to Your Charity

While custom printed T-shirts are very affordable for the original purchaser, they can be sold at any price you choose. Depending on the event or venue in which you are selling the T-shirts, the price may vary at different locations and times. Because people know that they are spending money for a good cause, they will often be willing to pay more than they normally would for a T-shirt.

Profitable and Flexible

You can then take the profits and divide them however it is necessary. T-shirts provide a great way of earning money towards your cause while providing the freedom to set and change your price. Because they are so affordable to order, custom T-shirts are almost ALL profit.

2. (Almost) Free Advertising

Aside from the original price of the order, you will not pay any more for this great source of advertising. Interested people may ask the wearer right away or Google it at home later. Either way, the shirt creates an almost unlimited source of advertising for your cause.

Mobile Billboards

Even if the T-shirt is designed for one particular event, such as charity runs, an annual fundraising event or a trivia night, people will often continue to wear them for long after the event finishes. If the design directly promotes your cause and not a specific event, even better.

3. Wear With Pride

Have you seen someone walking down the street, proudly wearing a T-shirt with something about a fundraiser, church, charity event or other logo relating to a good cause? This not only intrigues those who see the shirt, but it gives the wearer a sense of pride. This creates a cycle of continuous advertising and happy purchasers.

Ongoing Promotion

Many people will continue to wear custom charity T-shirts long after the original event for which they are created. This acts as an ongoing promotion for the cause.

4. Sell Anywhere

Custom T-shirts can be sold on multiple platforms and in more forums than most T-shirts. They are most commonly sold at charity events or fundraisers, but they can also be kept on-site at your headquarters or sold at community events.

In-Person and Online

Some businesses will help you to sell your T-shirts, some of them will contribute to the cause. This improves the reputation of the business while helping you raise money and promote awareness of your good cause. There are also several websites that specialize in helping your sell your T-shirts for charity.

5. Fun to Create

Designing and creating the custom T-shirts is half the fun.

Getting Involved

This allows for more people to become involved in your charity while having fun at the same time. As a result, they become more loyal and dedicated to the cause.

You can create a stellar design that represents your charity or brand with pride!

If you have an attractive and eye-catching shirt, people will want it. They will also remember the name of your business and make the extra effort to look up your company online. The best way to create a great shirt is to hire a graphic designer. A professional knows best what types fonts and colors to put together to make the most positive impact on those who see it.

Making Your Shirts

Several steps go into designing cheap custom t-shirts for your brand. Follow these steps to make the best use of your advertising dollars.

Include your logo.

The first thing that you need on your t-shirts is your company logo. Your logo can serve two purposes. It grabs attention as well as showcases the name of your company. Your graphic designer will be able to guide you in the design of your logo. It may require a redesign to be effective on a t-shirt. This is an effective way to show off your company.

Include an attention-grabbing graphic or short quote.

If your logo isn't enough or you want something more eye-catching, you can use other graphics.  Consider using different images to showcase the company and its offerings. These can be compelling, comical, or highly descriptive. They differ from the logo to create more detailed imagery associated with what the company offers.  These types of images can be strategically placed on the front and back of custom t-shirts. The idea is to visually appeal to those who see the shirt, so they remember it – and your business. Your graphic designer can help you think outside the box.

Don't forget about the back of the shirt.

The back of the shirt can be a perfect place to add additional content. You could use it for an image or list your company's locations. The back is an additional blank canvas, so don't dismiss it before weighing the cost of its true potential. Use both sides of the t-shirt for maximum impact.

Use colors.

Color can be your best friend, depending on the hue you use. White t-shirts are rather generic for certain business promotions. Often it is a good idea to work with your graphic designer and your printer to find a viable alternative. The color you choose for your cheap custom t-shirts should complement the colors you use in your logo and printed materials.

Include business contact information.

Try to include your business's contact information on the shirt if there is room for it. It should also fit with the other motifs you have on the shirt. If this doesn't make sense, make sure your company's name is easy to read. It needs to be visible to get noticed. The name of your company should register in the mind of whoever sees the shirt. You want them to remember it so when they are inspired by your design. This encourages people to look up your company. If you can’t fit contact information, consider putting a URL somewhere on the shirt.

Choose a soft and high-quality material for your shirts.

Lastly, make sure you choose the material with comfort in mind. Cheap custom t-shirts are supposed to be comfortable as well as easy to wash and dry. If the material is thin or rough, no one will wear them even if you give them away.

How to Get Your T-Shirts Out Into the World

Give away your cheap custom t-shirts using a few tactics. This is where your investment in your t-shirts comes into play the most.

Give them to your employees.

The first people to get these shirts are your employees. Give them away for free and let them wear them if you have casual Friday at your office. This will get more people to wear them, and then they will be seen wherever your employees go that day.

Give them to your customers.

You could offer them free with qualifying purchases or you could have a contest to give them away to customers. It's also a good idea to bring them to any trade shows that your company participates in and give them away for free there as well. Sponsoring a local sports team is another way to get your business name on t-shirts many people will see.

Sell specialty shirts.

Once your company is established, you could then begin to think about selling the shirts. You want to start out giving them away for free, but eventually, you may look into selling specialty or limited-edition shirts. This adds value to your t-shirts and your company.

T-shirts continue to be one of the most effective ways to market all types of business. Consult with a graphic designer today to create cheap custom t-shirts that help get your business recognized.

TakeHold Printing specializes in custom screen printed t-shirt, but one aspect that separates us from other screen printers in the Nashville and Hendersonville area is that we print shirts for cheap. We want our customers to know that we have cut cost in order to save them money and make custom, cheap screen printed t-shits a hassle free and simple process.Creating custom t-shirts does not have to be complicated, nor does it need to be expensive. Pricing is based on a few simple details: colors present in the design, t-shirt brand and quantity.
If you are looking to reduce cost, the first place we always suggest is going to be artwork. The majority of time an artwork piece can be reduced to 1-2 colors without comprising the integrity of the overall piece. We also look to reduce the number of locations for artwork. For example, if you want your 4 color logo on the front and a 2 color design on the back, then we might suggest reducing the front and back to 1-2 colors. So often we see artwork that has multiple shades of the same color, in which we will also suggest to unify the piece by making all the blues, reds, greens, etc. the same shade.
Secondly lets think brand. Just like with any other market, we have a high end shirt and a shirt that is more cost efficient. I would estimate that 80 percent of our shirts ordered would be a Gildan G5000, which is a fantastic option for large purchases and modest budgets. This makes printing cheap, custom t-shirts easy and affordable! If you are looking to invest in a higher quality shirt , that option is available too. As stated previously, we have cut cost to make sure that even the top of the line shirt is affordable too.
Lastly, one way that you can print a cheap, custom t-shirt is by ordering more. The saying is true that less is more, and this happens to apply to screen printing as well. Essentially, the lower quantity shirt you purchase the more expensive the order will be, but as you increase quantity, overall price decreases. We typically start orders at 24 and regardless of the occasion, we always suggest to order more.
TakeHold Printing cannot wait to help you bring your t-shirts to life. In the process of doing so, we offer a printing service that exceeds our competitors not only in service but price too.

 3 Suggestions for Back to School Custom T-Shirt Printing:

 Make your shirts fun! We suggest using wild colors to attract the attention of your students and have fun with the design! We also suggest that our clients take full advantage of our design studio on our website, which is extremely helpful when designing a custom screen printed t-shirt.

TakeHold Printing wants to help you design your custom t-shirt now! We are a local screen printer located right outside of Nashville who specializes in custom t-shirt designs and design ideas. We recently just launched our design lab and want you to know some key features that will help with your future purchase.

One new feature the design lab offers is the ability to upload artwork directly to the shirt. From here you can pick color options, such as taking out or adding color, zooming to view direct placement of image, and front and back images of shirt. This will help minimize error and allow you to see the image before it is printed.

The second feature that we want you to know about is the creative aspect of our lab. Are you fresh out of ideas and need that spark? We have built in ideas to help you narrow down what you want to print on the shirts. Maybe you need something campus or college related but don’t have time to sit down and create an image. Perfect! Let our designs lab do all the work for you by implementing our generated clip art onto the shirt. It is easy, efficient, and stress free!

Lastly, the third feature that we want you to be aware of is actually not a feature at all but we are available for artwork help when you need us. We try to work alongside our customers telling them exactly what they need for artwork and helping them with any technical that may arise. For printing purposes we ask that we receive an .ai file or at least 300-350 dpi high resolution image. This will ensure that the when the artwork is printed there is minimal issues with the image becoming distorted or pixelated.

We hope that you will take advantage of our new design studio. We also hope that by adding this element to our website that it will help our customers with their custom t-shirts and printing needs. If you need more information regarding artwork or need pricing information, please do not hesitate to contact us at 615.943.1402 or email us directly at info@takeholdprinting.com

 

Are you in the market for a custom t-shirt or possibly wondering how you can design your own t-shirt? Great, then this blog is exactly for you! At TakeHold Printing we appreciate systems, especially ones that are geared towards maximum efficiency for ourselves and more importantly our customers; therefore, we have created a portion of our website to help you bring your vision of a t-shirt alive!

Here are three options to chose from from when you are needing to create a shirt:

The first option is geared towards the customer who knows precisely what they need their shirt to say and where the placement of text or logo needs to go. This customer can simply click on the “Design Studio” tab and upload their image onto our model. This will generate an exact replica of what your shirt will look like and in a matter of moments you have just created your t-shirt. Now you are ready to proceed to checkout!

The second option that we offer our customers is geared towards someone who knows they need a custom made shirt but may need help generating an idea. For example, lets say that you love Christmas and wanted to print a shirt with something related but can’t quite narrow down an idea. You are in luck because we have an easy tool built in to make this process easier and less time consuming for you. Again, simply click on our “Design Studio” tab then click on “Clip Art” tab from the menu. From here you will send multiple tabs pop up with generic ideas that will help you pick a specific image. Once that image has been selected you now have the option to manipulate color, size, and placement of the image.

The third option that we offer our customers is a custom made piece that we will design for you. Lets say that you do not have an idea of what image you want and the clipart that we have provided does not match your vision, no problem! Simply call us at 615.943.1402 or send us an email (info@takeholdprinting.com) to speak with someone regarding the ideas you have and we will help create a custom creation specifically tailored towards your preference. From here we will design the image and send you a visual mock-up of your shirt!

This new design tool not only allows for immediate visual representation of your custom made shirt but it allows you the freedom to create this on your own time. We hope to save you time and energy and make the process of creating t-shirt easy as 1,2,3!
