Questions About Personalised Workwear

There are some ideas you can pinch from your previous places of work when you go out on your own. Even if you are now working for yourself. One of these ideas is Personalising Workwear. Why is this so important? Read on to find out.

Your design, your branding. You get to pick the uniform that you or your employees wear. It’s more exciting now to wear a uniform as it’s custom and it’s unique to your business. All yours, “my precious!” as Gollum used to say.

QUESTIONS ABOUT PERSONALISED WORKWEAR

Ok so you need a uniform and already have a logo designed. It’s time to order your first set of personalised workwear! Many questions are running through your mind:

• Which type of workwear do I need for my business?
• What colour garments should I pick?
• Should I have print or embroidery?
• Where should I put my logo? Do I need it on the back too? Should I have other information on the back like my new website?
• How many should I order for myself and/or my staff? Do I need to keep stock?
• How much does Personalised Workwear cost? What kind of budget will I need?
• Will the weather affect what I need to order? e.g Gilets in Winter, Breathable T Shirts in the summer.

Don’t panic. Let’s tackle these one at a time. This doesn’t need to be a stressful chore. After all, It’s fun to order your own branded uniforms. A lot of the answers will boil down to a few factors.

YOUR TASTE

Some of these questions can fall into good ole personal preference. What do you want yourself and your staff to wear? You want to give off a professional image, so you may opt for Polo shirts as you think they look smarter.

Pair that with a Custom Sweatshirt for when it gets colder. You think won’t need a jacket as you will be working inside. You might like the look of embroidery more than print and you think your logo will work well in stitches. Pick embroidery!

You like a Turquoise blue and your logo stands out in this colour. Let’s find our garments in this colour. Pick what you like the most. We have thousands of different garments to pick from, you can easily find the colour you need using our filters.

CUSTOM WORKWEAR FOR YOUR FIELD OF WORK

The garments that you pick will most definitely be influenced by the industry that you work in. For example, working in a tea room may lead you to pick printed aprons and thin printed t shirts for the Summer. For the colder months, you could pick embroidered cardigans to keep everyone toasty.

I’m pretty sure you couldn’t use the same set of clothing for construction workers on site. If you did it wouldn’t last 5 minutes and why would you need aprons...You may want to order durable polo shirts, hoodies, and printed hi vis. Additionally, safety wears such as hard helmets for your employees.

Another thing to consider would be, how dirty do you or your staff get in our field of work? Do you need to have darker clothing as anything light would show the dirt. It will be washed a lot thus you need something that will hold its shape and colour.

For example, you could be an electrician and have to crawl through silly small spaces such as attics or lofts. Your personalised uniform would get snagged and ripped often. You would need clothing that was more heavy-duty.

YOUR BUDGET

Being realistic, we need to think about the costs. This will affect the brands that you pick as they vary in price. You could start with a few custom garments to get you started and if they wear well, you could order extras later. You could also order in bulk to benefit from our discounts (up to 25%) which will save you costs in the long run.

SO WHY IS BRANDED WORKWEAR SO IMPORTANT?

Straight to the point, customers will judge you based on the way you present yourself. This goes for all of your branding. For instance, your printed stationery, your signage, all the way through to the clothing that you wear. Branded uniforms create a great first impression. They tell your customers that you are professional.

They will take you seriously if they see evidence of investment in your business. You will look more professional and like a ‘real’ company. It shows that you care about your company’s image. Your customers will trust you more and thus won’t be afraid to invest in you. Therefore, resulting in more sales!

It also saves time in deciding what to wear for the day. Just a little bonus. Your beautiful clothes at home won’t get ruined during work. They can instead be used for fun activities after work or on the weekend.

To sum up: Have fun with your branded uniforms, browse our catalogue and choose garments that you like. Stick to your budget, and think about the best garments for your field of work. Now let’s get you or your team looking awesome!
