			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>For A Successful Marketing Campaign, Buy The Best Promotional Items:</strong></p>
<p>Business and various types of industries use promotional items as part of their marketing campaigns and communication programs. Various types of merchandise are given away by corporate companies, not only to create goodwill among customers and partners, but also to promote their brand, products, services and events. From promotional pens to t-shirts and expensive gadgets, there are whole lot of merchandise you can choose to give away to customers. You can get your company logo, tag line and other details imprinted on the merchandise.</p>
<p><strong>Tips on How to Buy Promotional Items:</strong></p>
<p>Choosing merchandise for promotional purpose can be quite a challenging task, since all customers are different and also there are so many options ranging from promotional mugs to clothing and other accessories to choose from. Here are some helpful tips for choosing promotional merchandise</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose a product that will relate to your business, product or services in some way or the other. For example if you own a publishing house, promotional pens are good items.</li>
<li>Choose items that your audience need and are most likely to use.</li>
<li>Choose an item that the receivers can use it round the year. This will maximize the exposure level of your brand.</li>
<li>Choose something that can be put on the desk or can be displayed easily.</li>
<li>Choose products that have a good finish and look expensive.</li>
<li>Choose long lasting items to extend your promotional span and increase retention level among customers.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What You Should Avoid?</strong></p>
<p>Selecting the right merchandise is crucial to the success of your marketing campaign. Therefore, whether you buy promotional mugs or a pen, you need to make sure that they achieve your goals. Here are some things you should avoid while planning promotional products</p>
<ul>
<li>Selecting edible products, because they offer minimum visibility and low retention levels.</li>
<li>Delicate or breakable merchandise, since they will decrease the span of your campaign.</li>
<li>Personal items, because they do not reflect your professionalism.</li>
<li>Don’t select products that will be kept in drawers and cupboards.</li>
<li>Don’t buy cheap promotional items and put your reputation at stake.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So it is with great pleasure that I take an excerpt from a recent article in the APPA magazine &#8211; Focus on Fabrics/Clothing.  This particular part of the article explains the different garment decoration techniques and what works on what best, this is the best written information I have seen!  Complete Uniform Solutions salesteam will work with you and assist you to replicate your logo. Below I have take some of the article and expanded on comments to help you understand your promotional garment branding options and logo representation better.</p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.wix.com/LogosRus/cus">Garments</a> can be <strong>branded</strong> in a variety of ways:</p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><a href="http://www.gentlegiants.com.au/faq">Embroidery</a><span style="color: #000000;">: manage your clients expectation on fine logos with small text&#8221; In reality some logos are not going to be readable or work embroided and the client needs to know this upfront before everyone starts spending time trying to make something look good that never will.. the logo may need to be edited by way of text changes or it may need to be applied in a different manner. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><a href="http://www.completeuniforms.com.au">Screen Print</a>:<span style="color: #000000;"> to get the best effect dark garments will need a further colour added, that is white underlay on the garment or they may need a double hit for more vivid colour.  If you are doing a 2 colour print on a black tshirt be prepared to pay for the 3 colour price and get the underlay and a better lasting better quality print.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;">Transfer Print:<span style="color: #000000;">excess washing can cause cracking or puckering&#8221; And a word of advice the dryer on hot is just going to kill it!</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;">&#8220;Flocking: <span style="color: #000000;">Reinforce iron care instructions</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;">Sublimation Print: <span style="color: #000000;">Used only on 100% polyester garments, whereby specialised inks are absorbed by the fabric to give permanent design.  Generally fabrics are sublimated prior to garment being sewn together. Ideally suited for sporting garments such as football jerseys where design is over the entire garment&#8221;</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>REMEMBER</strong> to follow the care instructions for the garment.  To get a longer life out of your logoed polo, custom printed tshirt, or embroided shirt it is best not to dry garments in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.  dark colours in particular, should be line dried out of direct sunlight to avoid fading.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;">With Stretch garments (eg. lycra or elastane) these garments should never be washed in hot water or they will shrink.  Similarly, they must not be dried in the clothes dryer.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000;"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fantastic, I have had at least 14 companies from India contact me this week to do my SEO, to write my website, and to update the site.  Brilliant they must have a great grasp of my business to do this so well for me.</p>
<p>I will keep testing and training myself and do it myself.  It will come together, infact I think it is coming together.  A business sort of similar to mine but with limited online presence recently emailed me complaining that when they search google for Byron Bay Embroidery they get Complete Uniform Solutions delivering embroidery to Byron Bay schools, sports clubs and businesses daily!</p>
<p>I am taking this as a compliment that updating and driving my own content and search adwords is working.. o yes I have got the RSS link on here working I believe now for those that want to feed to this web bloggy site.</p>
<p>What I do need to work on is link building apparently.. but I feel like if I clutter my internet site with weblinks I am creating more traffic on the high way and there will be congestion and pollution.. is this too extreme.  Does anyone consider the link building to be essential?</p>
<p>Also finding that I am running so many personal projects, juggling work and children and staff!!! and then running so many work projects that the brain needs help.  I have searched for lots of different ways to deal with this without expending large amounts of dollars (hello free ware I am a fan) and I think I do like &#8216;the brain&#8217; currently using the 30 day free trial to track staff christmas party planning and gifts for everyone.</p>
<p>One larger recent project of completely redesigning cricket shirts for the Warratahs a local cricket club started with the simple shirt below and grew to a fully sublimated cricket polo shirt incorporating named collars, more than 20 logos from various suppliers and sponsors.  I used &#8216;the brain&#8217; open source to assist our staff at Complete Uniforms track the stages of the job and client approvals etc.  fantastic</p>
<p>Heading to 7am I am about to go wake the boys, get them ready for school and organise my day in the factory.. wish me luck&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In some ways I am wondering if SEO is for dummies cos some dummies email me daily and call me all the time to get me in the first 2 pages or on top of the first page for my business.  well uniforms, custom printed tshirts, embroided polos and corporate uniforms, like school wear and sports wear and team uniforms are pretty full with paid advertising and hundreds of companies around the world paying for SEO. </p>
<p>I did spend quite a bit of cash on the old SEO about 18months ago and now it seems I am at the back and need to pay again to get up the front.  O really too much, all this pressure to compete and be on the first page for school uniform suppliers. </p>
<p>figure I will try my way a different way, so mixing it up with a little bit of google adwords, a little bit of blog text and a whole lot of radio advertising.  Radio is relatively cheap in the rural area our business is located in so it is a good investment and it has proven so.  Amazingly it did not so much drive everyone to the website but got them in the car driving to our store!! Hello what better way to close a deal than in person.</p>
<p>the internet opens our stores to the whole world and our services to the whole world but seems that concentrating on some local focus is necessary to drive sales. So SEO should I be investing in this every few months or taking a crack at it myself.. lets just see how this all works.  Handy hints on how to get better SEO results, put your site infront of more people and get more online purchases are very very welcome here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yay I have found another new thing to add to my list of things about the internet that I like/love.. and what about pixelfish.. www.pixelfish.com.  This is a great site to help small business all over the world improve their branding and work with a contract company.  What do they do?  They make ads for your product.  There are standard ads you can purchase, you can edit the text or you can go further and edit the images.  Pay a little more and get something done specifically for your business.  I am in discussions now with Dave at Pixel and we are working on something for Complete Uniforms specific to printed tshirts and tshirts with numbers and logos.  Something to grab the attention of our local touch team market so that we can do them some awesome tshirts at great prices!  As soon as it it done I will upload it and add everything to my web favs. page.  And by the way still loving dropbox, just a few probs with the iphone apps but we will work it out!</p>
<p>But how mad is that here I am in the hills behind Byron Bay on the laptop and Dave is in some big city in America and together we are collaborating on making a small funky ad which he will work with me to upload into the social media networks and help me drive business to my site!  Completely love the internet community!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With such a huge amount of great deals around for interstate Travel I thought it would be great to take 2 of the staff to Coolangatta Airport (o and for a quick day trip to Sydney). Surprisingly enough one had never flown before so the adventure was pretty full-on and fun!</p>
<p>It seems to me that to get the best our of the team you have to give them the best and rewards that are unexpected and fun are really well appreciated.  I really appreciate the extra help these two staff members have given me in the last few months and I think they were both pretty thrilled with the days events.  After all while we had Breakfast on the Gold Coast, we had lunch in Sydney and dinner in Brisbane!</p>
<p>It was a perfect day to see the Opera House and cruise on the harbour.  Sadly I broke my sunglasses and it may be months before we get back.  However we checked out the current uniforms that were being worn and know we are more than easily keeping up with the marketplace for design, competitiveness and quality, infact Complete Uniforms leads the way for customised unique quality sports team uniforms and school wear.</p>
<p>With this in mind and a free day for discussion we swapped some tremendous ideas for business growth and product strategy.  The day infact was not just a rewards day but a substantially important day for creation of new business initiatives. </p>
<p>My main point from this &#8216;blog&#8217; is to really let others understand that it is important to recognise staff for their commitment and it is important to have time with staff in a nonwork environment to help develop company strategy.</p>
<p>Reward Staff</p>
<p>Listen to Staff</p>
<p>Complete Uniform Solutions truly believes the most important and valuable asset to its business is the great contributions made daily by the staff.</p>
