Stiff? And back in the day, we loved them. Well, technology has taken us so far in the 100% cotton T-Shirt realm.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: times;">And definitely not soft....Today we here are Ink It Up only sell our favorites in the Ring Spun type T-shirt. We like them to feel soft, yummy, lightweight, and look great when worn.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;">The other day I had my grandson over and he needed a shirt...he says oh I like that color, it was a Bella Unisex Olive Green. He starts to put it on and out come the words...oh this is so soft. (And this is from a teenager!) So when a teenager notices just how wonderful a good ole T-Shirt feels, you know that your client is going to notice too.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;">We carry Graphic Tees, custom screenprinted Tees (and every kind of apparel known to man, HaHa) and love to print them in multiple colors in the image and in multiple places. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: times;">Here are some of the benefits of ringspun cotton shirts--</span></p><ul class="b_vList b_divsec b_bullet" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><li data-priority="" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border: 0px; list-style: disc; margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="font-family: times;">Ring spun cotton feels soft and smooth due to its refined production process.</span></li><li data-priority="" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border: 0px; list-style: disc; margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="font-family: times;">Its construction creates a stronger, tighter fabric weave that still feels lightweight and breathable.</span></li><li data-priority="" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border: 0px; list-style: disc; margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: times;">Because of the tighter knit, ring spun fabric is more durable than standard cotton and tends to last longer.</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;">Those are some great reasons to only provide ring spun T-Shirts!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;">So with that said, Let's go do some printing:)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjYfQEzFCzBIIKfeTy19bI8T25yXbel01dfWhtf3vIPioyheEl9fs3Dkzx9oPqfoPOTzhw1pdrjxWTM3_WxsFaAlyeJBJfZQTgpMzv-RUj_q9OcMZ28DflC6EMLvBUO7HTg1_tNybtWIkRhy5FaXZj8v_BOE9IzYg8B7_Shv5brTd17s0C41TiJg0MmGw=s255" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="241" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjYfQEzFCzBIIKfeTy19bI8T25yXbel01dfWhtf3vIPioyheEl9fs3Dkzx9oPqfoPOTzhw1pdrjxWTM3_WxsFaAlyeJBJfZQTgpMzv-RUj_q9OcMZ28DflC6EMLvBUO7HTg1_tNybtWIkRhy5FaXZj8v_BOE9IzYg8B7_Shv5brTd17s0C41TiJg0MmGw" width="241" /></a></div><br /></span></div>Ink It Up Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13905286808338932539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139102281331103784.post-64189962952328208422022-02-04T16:24:00.000-08:002022-02-04T16:25:41.461-08:00Marketing in the New World<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjfHffzqOTrMInZDw9wHUwzfxRogeRDzdR0wr3vZyNmRTrhM6Xk2x9MfanLrCaqeYvaSV3ukIFHKea_vOk7IHBhQJEb8-TTucawDj1cdd-5FOrofyLhthOLeIIVkNM9HRXFNOUNa7ukAM40C3s3y3aRvm2DFZISlL46LdSvnDf4JqeEPEnQPXinsgtskQ=s300" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="111" data-original-width="300" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjfHffzqOTrMInZDw9wHUwzfxRogeRDzdR0wr3vZyNmRTrhM6Xk2x9MfanLrCaqeYvaSV3ukIFHKea_vOk7IHBhQJEb8-TTucawDj1cdd-5FOrofyLhthOLeIIVkNM9HRXFNOUNa7ukAM40C3s3y3aRvm2DFZISlL46LdSvnDf4JqeEPEnQPXinsgtskQ=w405-h149" width="405" /></a></div><br />How do you market when you are limited in being in person for your networking?<p></p><p>Do you just sit on Zoom and chit chat?

Are you keeping current with your business? <br />
<br />
And you think, just what do you mean?<br />
I'm talking today about current education that is available for your particular business. Some might call it Industry Trends.<br />
<br />
Conferences, classes, videos, blogs, podcasts, and so much more--lots to squeeze into our busy daily business schedule.<br />
<br />
Our team goes to a yearly conference to keep up with the current trends and I am always surprised<br />
on how many of my competition are not in the room.<br />
<br />
Staying current with trends, what's new, especially in the technology part of promotional products,<br />
new marketing strategies, sales ideas, and more!!<br />
<br />
It is the place where we can get excited about our business again and come back with even more<br />
great ideas for our clients.<br />
<br />
So what do you do to keep current in your business?<br />
Would love to learn about how you keep current, please share!!<br />

One of the questions we get asked almost daily....Do you screenprint? Why YES we do!!<br />
<br />
Let's take a walk through the screenprinting process.<br />
<br />
First, send us your art. All jobs are priced on the quality of the garment (t-shirts, sweatshirts,<br />
tanks, jackets), the quantity of shirts, the amount of colors in the art, and the number of placements<br />
you want printed.<br />
<br />
Your art goes into our art department and each color has a screen made for it and each screen<br />
must align so that your finished product looks great. We ask for true vector art (AI, Corel, or<br />
EPS) as it then comes to us that we can pull each color for the screens.<br />
<br />
Each shirt has to be mounted on the press and then hit with each color individually. If it is a dark<br />
garment, we do a white flash coat (a base coat to allow the colors to pop), and then your colors from your art are then screened on top of it.<br />
<br />
Then it is pulled off the press and put into a big oven that binds the ink to the garment. Then<br />
they are folded, boxed, and delivered to you.<br />
<br />
We can do youth to 6XL with the same art. But the size of the art will be as big as it can be<br />
on the youth garments and then it will be the same size on the 6XL. If you want it to be bigger<br />
on the adults, we can do 24+ youth shirts with your art and then the adults in another order of 24+<br />
We do this all of the time and have had no problems. It is just your personal perference.<br />
<br />
We love printing! Please feel free to reach out for a quote and let us help you look great for<br />
your business, family reunion, conference, non profit, camp, Disney trip...remember if you can<br />
think it, we can ink it!<br />

Why am I showing off Starbucks or Nike or Amazon when I can show off my business? I actually<br />
won one of these great bluetooth speakers at our convention in January and Love it! And I<br />
remember that company and experience when I use it:)<br />
<br />
Wouldn't a nice blue tooth speaker be a great gift?<br />
Or a stainless steel 16 oz coffee tumbler?<br />
Or a power bank to have on the go to charge your phone?<br />
Or a travel pack with extra cords for your phone?<br />
So many more ideas to have for you to give to your clients and stay in front of them<br />
as you say THANK YOU!<br />
<br />
If you can think it, we can ink it! <br />

<br />
The first thing we do is find you the right t shirt for your event/organization.<br />
Because there are 100% cotton, ring spun cotton, 50/50, different weights, colors, and sizes up<br />
to 6X. There are Unisex cuts and women's cuts--a lot of great choices!<br />
<br />
Then we look at your art--printing is priced according to the color of the shirt, the amount of<br />
colors in the design, how many places we are printing, and of course, the quantity of shirts.<br />
<br />
We then give you a quote, send you a proof for approval, and print!! Shirts are delivered<br />
directly to you or your camp or organizations doorstep!<br />
<br />
Recently we have printed shirts for a Church Girls camp, Fire dept, School District, Rotary Camp, a large non-profit camp, a Eyebrow business, an Eclipse watching group, and so much more....<br />
<br />

<br />
Bleck!! What do I say?<br />
<br />
Recently I had the privilege of going to International BNI conference<br />
and two of the speakers spoke to just this! It was just what I needed.<br />
<br />
One said what are your non negotiables? That struck home to me and I knew I could do it from there.<br />
The other speaker spoke about his new book, Eyes Wide Open--as he is blind!!! We didn't know this<br />
until he told us!! How cool is that?<br />
<br />
Anyway, he just put into words what I needed to hear.<br />
<br />
And we took the advice and calendared it and took a half day and wrote it! <br />
<br />
I am so excited to have it done for one, but it inspires us!!<br />
<br />
So totally cool...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So find something that inspires you, ask yourself what are your non negotiables and DREAM BIG!!<br />
<br />
A quote I recently heard....Might as well Dream Big, small comes anyway.<br />Ink It Up Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13905286808338932539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139102281331103784.post-74285034466279036462016-04-19T13:59:00.004-07:002016-04-19T13:59:45.908-07:00What's your favorite Tee?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWTAxepvQOfHjkCVckFJfoPrcYSmsQoVCIcgHypMkClLBZnAEAF_z2x2NYIlg3cjzOjhKb9psirajB7hSQL2u3UVRd4-hkUXuuC7MVM4se163TsJDAMrK_aHfXOO5-aYvP0GHcjNn2lFEe/s1600/s-l225.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWTAxepvQOfHjkCVckFJfoPrcYSmsQoVCIcgHypMkClLBZnAEAF_z2x2NYIlg3cjzOjhKb9psirajB7hSQL2u3UVRd4-hkUXuuC7MVM4se163TsJDAMrK_aHfXOO5-aYvP0GHcjNn2lFEe/s1600/s-l225.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This time of year we print hundreds of different kinds of apparel and most of them are t-shirts. What would you say are your favorite characteristics of your favorite tee?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There is the Beefy t shirt, the 100% cotton t shirt, the 50/50 t shirt, the new performance t shirts, but the one that is my favorite is the new soft, yummy feeling ones, spun cotton. They make up my sleep shirts for sure!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Did you know...."The dubbed "T-shirt" surfaced in the United States when they were
issued by the U.S. Navy sometime around the Spanish American War. They
featured crew-necks and short sleeves and were meant to be worn
as underwear beneath the uniform. Soon it was adopted by the Army as
part of the standard issue ensemble given to recruits. It got its iconic
name from its shape resembling the letter "T".... Bet you just needed this little bit of trivia:)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Currently we can find just about everyone wearing a T shirt from time to time, whether it has our favorite rock band, cute saying, or advertising a brand.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Using that T shirt for brand awareness is a major smart choice. A branded T shirt on one of your crew members tells the public that they are meant to be on the job and gives them instant credibility.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And you get to let everyone see the name of your company! What can be better than a walking billboard that you don't have to swing on the corner.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We print T shirts for companies, churches, camps, fire departments, fundraisers, walks, runs, swim teams, family reunions, you name it! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As our saying goes, If you can think it, we can ink it! </span><br />

It is such fun to just think about being able to empower another business owner with the skills<br />
to make their 2015 just so much more powerful--where they can pay it forward and impact<br />
so many other lives around them at the same time.<br />
<br />
This all came about as I applied for the Chase grant last year and was filling out the application.<br />
It had lots of questions about how my business could impact the community I live and work in.<br />
I thought I love to do business makeovers and I could give 10 a year away with my grant money.<br />
<br />
So then Rebecca Hall Gruyter and I were talking and Voila!! The Business Success Makeover<br />
was born! It is our way to give back to our communities and also showing up as the experts<br />
we are.<br />
<br />
Our Business Success Makeover I like to describe as a combination of the Chase Grant project<br />
and a really nice Shark Tank! LOL<br />
<br />
We are taking up to 100 applications this first time around and are selecting at least 30 business<br />
owners to come and present their business plan in front of a fantastic panel of experts.<br />
<br />
Then we will pick the finalists that will WIN the business makeover!! How cool is that?<br />
You want in? Just go to <a href="http://www.businesssuccessmakeover.com/">www.BusinessSuccessMakeover </a>and fill out the application and<br />
join us in moving small business in our communities to the next level!<br />
<br />
We are so excited and know we can make a huge impact, not only on individual business owners,<br />
but on the communities we live in as well. We have a huge resource team that are all coming<br />
together to donate their skills and empower our winning business owners to be able to<br />
make a dramatic impact on their bottom line as well as themselves.<br />
<br />
So join us in bringing about a Success revolution!!<br />

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">to wash the car in, sleep in,
paint in, YES it is your favorite....Well that T Shirt celebrates it's <b>100th
</b>birthday this year!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> "In 1913, the T-shirt
as we know it first appeared as standard-issue gear within the U.S. Navy. Since
then, it has become an essential part of the American wardrobe and
identity."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br />
A survey revealed "that<b> 95 percent of Americans</b> wear
T-shirts and 89 percent wear Ts at least once a week. Nearly nine in every 10
Americans (87 percent) own at least one T-shirt they refuse to “trash” because
of a sentimental attachment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br />
In fact, on average, they have 13 T-shirts they hold onto for that reason.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br />
Most commonly, these shirts are from a group of which they were a member, or
shirts commemorating a major event. They also said that they would have a
stronger emotional connection with a shirt that they or someone they knew
custom-designed!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br />
Custom designed T shirts, can you believe it!! Look at your favorite T
and see what memories it brings to mind and why you just LOVE it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br />
And that's the thing, <b><i>WE LOVE creating custom T shirts that you can make
your NEW favorite</i></b> to wash the car in, go to coffee, take a walk, or
just sit back and read a book in!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br />
Plus what <b>better way to advertise your business</b> than to give out a great
designed T Shirt that walks</span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> around as a custom Billboard
advertising your business.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br />
Have your employees wear them everywhere they go during the workday, give them
out at little league games, to business associates, thank you to your best
clients, the list is endless.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br />
The <b>T Shirt has an average lifetime of 5 years</b>, yes and where else can
you get advertising for the cost of a T Shirt that will walk around advertising
YOU for 5 years? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br />
That is totally the <b>BEST advantage of a promotional product</b>! And
you thought your favorite T Shirt was just for sleeping in!!</span><br />

be a participant/attendee at the tradeshow.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">But to get the most out of either side of the tradeshow coin,

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It is still continuing today as I work on my business goal setting for 2012. Being able to put to work the motivation that was instilled in me from 2 ½ days of this great group plus my coaching from Brandy, together 2012 is looking amazing!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Just before this weekend, I had the opportunity to present to my group on a Friday. It is hard for me to ask for help, always has been. My philosophy has always been to do it myself, as I know it will get done & done right (otherwords, my way!! LOL) </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I thought about all of the things in the past I have talked to them as my sales team & decided to lay it all on the line…present where I want to go & one of my very dear to me dreams!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So I steeled up my courage & went for it. After I told them of my dream and that I needed their help to do it, I walked away wondering how it was perceived. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the people that I look up to said “Good Job, D’Ann.” I was excited. But that was one out of 40…Then the next day another one of the people that I look up to called me, yes, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">picked up the phone</b> & called me!! Then I received a request to have a meeting & that person said I <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">inspired</b> them & they wanted to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">help</b> me achieve my dream!!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Can you believe it</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">? I asked for help & look what can happen!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So many things have started popping up in my life in the past few weeks that I am so grateful for!!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And let me tell you that asking for help can be so totally exciting, inspiring, & freeing!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So when they say a goal not written down is just a wish, I think that could also apply to missing the measuring part of the equation.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So the idea is to have 5 year goals, 3 year goals, 1 year goals, monthly goals, weekly goals—all leading to that fantastic 5 year target.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And creating great carrots as each level is achieved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It helps not only with getting to that 5 year goal, but also in team building, relationships, & client relations.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Especially as we come up to those New Year’s resolution goals…Let’s take our businesses to the next level & plan out the year so that we have great reasons to celebrate in the Holiday season of 2012!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
