Thanks Lee and thanks Dylan. It is really nice to get some comments on the blog.. I am impressed!
I look forward to finding out more about your fabrics Lee. It was nice to meet you at the Business Awards Dylan and congratulations on your win. I think we are all winners to be living here and working here! No Harbour Bridge traffic delays..
The awards were a great night and they are another example of supporting the local community and networking in a small town. Surprisingly they are highly competitive as there are a substantial number of successful business operators here.
Gentle Giants entered the small business manufacturing section. We are one of the few uniform suppliers/uniform wholesalers left that still manufacturers a large amount of product in Australia. We do also have to be competitive on the world market so we manufacture off shore too! I have been amazed to find that many companies that supply school uniforms and sports team apparel actually do not make the garments nor do they do the embroidery and printing. We do it all and it keeps us busy and it keeps us happy.
Business is busy-ness!.
If you are in a smaller population area I urge you to join your Local Chamber of Commerce and attend these award nights. If you do not have time to put forward a submission then perhaps enter into a sponsorship arrangement with the Chamber and supply some giveaways and/or sponsor a particular award. You will get great publicity out of it!
So our website is picking up more traffic now, we have a new design and quote maker feature on the website and seems a lot of people are enjoying have a play with design, uploading graphics, names and numbers to the shirts and emailing in for quotes and comments. I am still running the older Garment design feature on the site also.
Let me know what you think of the features, do you prefer the first Garment Generator or do you prefer the new Quote and Design Maker.
Keep the comments flowing!
cheers
Gentle Giants

Thanks Soreya
Our schools think the uniforms are great, on time, fantastic cut, very reasonably priced too.
Wonderful doing business with you, will recommned you to other schools too.
Thanks for the kind comments Saroya! It was a great night and good to meet some of the Ballina business community such as yourself. I’m very interested in the way businesses use the internet to increase their market, especially when based in regional Australia. I know your business is a great example of this so well done!
