Printed workwear is a great way to promote your business; it projects an image of professionalism to your clients and brings employees together which increases productivity and effectiveness. Big business has used branded clothing to project themselves into the marketplace and they have success to show it works.

So what type of branded clothing is the right choice? Should it be printed t-shirts or embroidered polo shirts? Given the difference in cost, materials and how your employees look there is a lot to think about before a final decision can be made. Here are some thoughts on the subject for different types of business where t-shirts might be the better option.

Customised t-shirts are more affordable and offer a wide choice of styles, designs and colours to choose from and are normally quicker to produce. However, dependent on the business they have to be used in the right context, and here are a few ideas.

Seasonal business that are much active during the summer; such as an ice-cream parlour or somewhere where the staff work outside or are coming in and out continuously. Then a bright colourful t-shirt with a company name and slogan on the back would be ideal. A useful thing to remember is to reflect the dress of your customers, so relaxed on holiday enjoying an ice-cream that t-shirts are perfect, but a restaurant in the evening, well not so appropriate.

In more physical activities such as installation of goods or repair work where people can become dirty because of the nature of the work than a heavy t-shirt with long sleeves would be a great choice for the winter, with a lighter short sleeve option for the summer. With these types of business it might be as well to have the polo shirt option available for use in follow up calls or sales staff as a uniform.
