If you decorate custom apparel for schools, now is the perfect time to start planning your fall offerings. Our new Fall Fanwear Guide will keep you up to date on the latest trends and provide fresh ideas to inspire both you and your customers. Maximize your profits by aligning with consumer trends and offering premium, retail-quality apparel that stands out and sells.
School Spirit
Spirit wear is a great way to cater to the school market year-round. Combining different decoration methods offers a premium retail look and feel, allowing you to upsell your customers. Consider offering trendy blank apparel styles, such as crop tops or boxy fits. Look for textured decoration methods like CAD-PRINTZ® Perma-TWILL® or versatile transfers such as UltraColor MAX™ DTF that can be used on various apparel and fabric types.
Teacher Appreciation
Spirit wear isn’t limited to students! Increase your sales by offering teacher apparel, which is a fantastic way to show appreciation for the staff. Beyond T-shirts, consider premium items they can wear all week long, such as polos or cardigans, decorated with Emblems & Patches. This not only recognizes their hard work but also expands your product range.
Game Day Stores
Creating attire for fans and parents is another excellent way to boost your profit. Screen-printed transfers are ideal for this type of apparel because they offer cost-effectiveness when ordering in high volumes while providing the soft hand feel of traditional plastisol ink. If you’re using Goof Proof® screen-printed transfers from Transfer Express, you can take advantage of color changes, allowing you to order the same design in multiple ink colors and benefit from quantity price breaks.
Collegiate Styles
The collegiate market offers significant profit opportunities, from game day styles to dorm room attire. Use Emblems & Patches to decorate a wide variety of premium apparel, such as hats, jackets, and bags. Alternatively, use UltraColor MAX™ DTF transfers to create full-color looks on various apparel items, appealing to a diverse range of tastes and preferences.
