Why Your Company Needs Branded Apparel

Does your shirt do more than make you look good? If the answer is no, maybe it’s time to think about what custom branded apparel can do for your business. Stop for a minute and imagine the number of people your employees see in a day - customers, neighbors, friends, potential customers, acquaintances, and even the lady at the coffee shop. That’s a lot of face time, and potentially brand awareness time for your business. Instead of promoting that Nike logo, get your own company logo out there with custom apparel!

Here are a few of our favorite reasons why we recommend branded apparel:

·         Manage the dress code. Maintain a professional working environment by providing appropriate work

attire for your employees. A company uniform keeps employee’s focus on their job responsibilities and not on out of office drama.  

·        All for one, one for all! When a group of people wear the same shirt it encourages a sense of community and friendship. Build team morale within your office while bringing equality to your work place with custom branded apparel.

·         Make it fun. Switch it up each season with new designs, styles, colors and prints to allow your employees personality to shine through. Whether you’re looking for solid polos, tie-dye or a simple crewneck tee, custom apparel depends on your company image and employees.

Did we convince you? Take the advertising bull by the horns this year by putting your employees in stylish branded apparel. You’ll know it’s working when you get your first lead from someone who saw your employee rocking a company tee at the local coffee shop down the street.

Do you currently offer branded apparel for your employees, if your answer is no, why not?

Promote Fitness and Teamwork by Creating a Co-Ed Company Sports Team

It’s important to build relationships with coworkers and relationship development can be done in many ways. Company sports teams can offer many advantages to both the employees and to the company, including healthier employees, while building teamwork across departments. These teams can be for a team sport like softball or bowling, or for individual competitions, like triathlons or 5-K races. You can also create non-competitive teams like walking clubs or general running teams. As you train and learn your sport together, you will create new personal bonds. These bonds will spill over into the work environment and help employees to work as a team at work, as well.

Having healthy employees positively impacts a company's bottom line. Companies that have employees that smoke, that are overweight or that are out of condition have higher rates of absenteeism and turnover than companies than those who have healthier employees. An estimated $270 billion is spent annually on treating tobacco use and related diseases, adult-onset diabetes and obesity, conditions that are preventable, according to WELCOA, or the Wellness Council of America.

How do you get started? First, poll your coworkers about their interest. Talk to everyone so you understand the overall interest in forming a team and in what capacity. You’ll have to bring up the idea with management, emphasizing that a company sponsored team is a good way to build relationships and morale. You will be able to let them know others are also interested and maybe, even get some funding.

Then get out there! Play ball! Run fast! It’s Spring, so get outside and take advantage of the weather.
