AN INTRODUCTION TO PERSONALISED UNIFORM
When running a business there are many products that you would usually purchase to ensure you look legit. This could be anything from signs, business cards, vehicle graphics to a branded logo. It’s important that your potential clients take you seriously and know that you are a professional business.
These clients can place their trust in you and therefore will give you their business in return. Branded uniform is something that I believe every company should invest in and here’s why.
WHY CUSTOM WORKWEAR IS SO IMPORTANT
So why should you invest in personalised work clothes for your business? Quite simply put:
- It makes you look professional
- It creates trust with your potential customers
- It makes you look like a ‘legit’ business
- It stops you from ruining your usual clothes at home
- If you have staff, this can make your team look unified
Nobody wants to do business with a company with no branding. You can’t help but be skeptical. Why haven’t they invested in putting their company name out and about? Of course, more times than not it’s probably not down to any specific reason but our brains like to run wild!
So what are the staples that every business should have?
T SHIRT OR POLO SHIRT
The base layer that every business, big or small should own. Your first piece of custom workwear. You can layer these garments with other garments mentioned below. When it’s warm enough in the UK, you can wear your t shirt or polo shirt on it’s own. It’s therefore essential that you brand these garments even if you are covering them up in the colder months.
I have stated t shirt or polo shirts as everyone has their own preference. Some of your prefer a collar and think it looks more professional whereas a t shirt can be more appealing if an embroidered polo shirt feels a little too restrictive or ‘stuffy’. Whatever your taste, one of these is a must! We recommend our embroidery service for our polo shirts. Our t shirts are best being printed.
SWEATSHIRT OR HOODIE
As you venture outside or feel a little bit of a chill in the office, our minds start to think our layering up. Now as mentioned before, as our t shirt or polo shirt are now going to be covered, we need personalisation again.
For the next layer, I would suggest either a sweatshirt or a hoodie. Both of these garments provide the much needed warmth you might need, whilst also looking smart for work. Our sweatshirts come as standard or with 1/2 or 1/4 zips. As for our hoodies, they come as standard or with full zips for easy removal.
Both garments can either be printed or embroidered depending on your personal taste. I think that our sweatshirts go well with our polo shirts, and our hoodies go well with our t shirts.
JACKET OR GILET
Eventually, the UK’s weather turns pretty awful in November, December and January. As depressing as this can be, it’s even worse if you are caught out in the rain without the proper gear. This is why the last staple piece I recommend is an Embroidered Jacket or Gilet. Our bodywarmers are great if you desire more mobility, it frees up your arms a little more for practical work.
If you need total waterproof and windproof coverage then there are lots of jackets available. This ranges from 3-1’s, softshells, bomber jackets to longer warmer coats. Some of our jackets are designed to keep the rain off rather than keep you warm and visa versa. Check out our jacket category to have a look through. You should be able to find something suitable for your business.
IN CONCLUSION
Your business will be trusted more and look like a real business if you invest in the right products. This includes custom workwear. Every business in my opinion should own the above items but there are more garments out there to personalise such as caps and beanies. The bottom line is, branded workwear is great, pick which items you love the most and wear them proudly!
