Does the Quality of the Blank Garments We Use for Our Products Matter to Consumers?

POLE RESULTS

Statistics from our Instagram story pole from both businesses and consumers

Does the garment you print or embroider on matter? At Other Industries, we believe it’s the thing that matters most. Based on a recent Instagram poll we conducted, it seems that 95% of businesses and consumers agree with us.

While the embellishment you choose to put onto a blank may be the first thing to grab your customer’s attention, it will be the comfort & confidence they feel in the garment that has them continually coming back to their closet to grab it, time & time again.

This is why we have spent years carefully sifting through blanks from every distributor in the industry, trying to source garments that we would personally wear daily. From the vintage feel of Comfort Colors to the boxy fit of Los Angeles Apparel, we have done the leg work to learn the attributes of all the garments we offer so that we can offer you our experienced insight & point you in the right direction to meet your garment needs.

Personal feelings aside, we firmly believe that high-quality blanks are good for business. Though it may be more expensive upfront, it will ultimately pay dividends in the long run. As the saying goes, you have to spend money, to make money, so why not spend money where it counts? Offering your customers a higher quality product will allow you to raise your prices, while still confidently sending them on their way with a smile on their faces because they just made a worthwhile investment in a garment that will be a permanent staple in their wardrobe. Each & every time they decide to wear your garment out of the house it is a personal endorsement & potential advertisement for your brand.

We believe that sustainability comes from longevity, so it is important to create products that won’t end up in landfills next month. With this in mind, we want to provide our customers with high-quality garments that their customers will love & cherish as much as we do for years to come.
