I’m sure you’ve all seen them at some stage; sweaty ladies with puffed out cheeks racing around the parks of the UK to cover three kilometres in the Race for Life. The Race for Life is an event staged by Cancer Research up and down the UK, and you know how I know that’s who all those shattered ladies are running to support? Because it’s written on their t-shirts, that’s how.
What better way to increase the exposure of your charity fundraising event than to have the name or logo of the charity you are working so hard to support emblazoned on the chest or back of your shirt. That way, the exposure created by the event does not merely stop at those attending the event itself; it stretches far further, to everyone who sees you wearing your shirt with pride.
It is easy to customise promotional clothing. Here’s how it’s done:
Choose the right garment
You don’t want your willing fun runners to be lolloping around in the midday sun dressed in a heavy outdoor fleece. Why would you punish your eager supporters in such a cruel and malevolent way? No no no, what you need is something lightweight for that purpose, so you choose a nice cotton t-shirt of course.
All the colours of the rainbow, and more!
So you’ve chosen the garment, now you need to pick the colour. Choose carefully as if your event is the success it should be, the colour you have chosen for your supporters to wear could become an iconic element of the event. Just think of the race for life again; the colour pink has become integral to the event, helping to differentiate the cause from all of the thousands of other worthwhile causes out there.
Sizing
You need lots of different sizes because everyone is a different shape; simple really.
Now you’ve got to brand the thing
Keep calm, there’s nothing to worry about. First off, decide which area you wish to brand. The best promotional clothing suppliers will give you a wide choice; whether it’s the arm, the neck, the chest or the back is completely up to you. Do you wish to create a real impact with a large design, or do you require something a little bit more subtle to quietly tell people who you are. Once you’ve chosen the location for you text or logo, you need to decide on the size. This can all be done with a click of button. Usually sizes will range from A4 right down to A6.
Now the exciting bit! Either you can design your own logo using the tools available, or simply upload a graphic or text to the website, which the t-shirt designers will either embroider or print onto the design, depending on which you’d prefer.
There we go. Told you it was easy!
