Best Custom T Shirt Company – Quality vs Quantity

February 24, 2023 by Oh Boy! Print Shop Leave a Comment

best custom t shirt company
At OH BOY! Print Shop, we pride ourselves in our attention to detail and the willingness to go above and beyond for our customers.

 

Introduction

This article will help you determine how to choose the best custom t shirt company for your brand, business, or organization.

Quality

When it comes to finding the best custom t shirt company, there are many variables that will dictate where and why someone will buy their shirts. Most of the time, people buy based on price. This happens when someone is on a budget, working with someone else’s money, or looking to get the most bang for their buck.

In some cases, this tactic can work well, for example when shopping for a kids party and thinking about decorations, food or entertainment. But bargain shopping doesn’t always lead to the best outcome. At least not always the one we would hope for. This is what many call getting what we pay for. This concept tells us that price and quality are directly linked. And when we shop for the absolute lowest price, we are often sacrificing something far more important, experience. The experience that a person has with the product they purchased, is the most important way to measure success.

So imagine, what would someone have to do, to cut costs so low, that they are practically giving their product away? Often, the answer lies in the quality of the materials or services a business provides. The end result is a product or service that is just acceptable, but never great.

Quality is the most important thing to consider when choosing a custom t shirt company. The better the quality of your shirts, the longer they’ll last and the more likely you are to be satisfied with them.

Quality is also important because it can affect your bottom line–poorly-made shirts that fall apart after just one wash will cost you more money in the long run than if you had bought higher-quality garments in the first place!

There are many different ways to measure quality; some companies measure things like thread count or fabric weight (how much material goes into making each garment), while others might look at how well their products are made or even how customer service responds when customers contact them with issues regarding their orders. In any case, quality should always be at least somewhat important when considering which company makes your t-shirts!

Here’s an example: Let’s say we’re trying out two different companies who both offer similar services but one charges twice as much as another–which do we choose?. Well… it depends on whether or not there are other factors besides price influencing our decision-making process here such as convenience vs availability etcetera… but assuming nothing else matters except price alone then I’d probably go with Company B simply because even though both companies offer similar services at different prices there’s no reason why someone shouldn’t pay less money for something if possible since everyone likes saving money right?

Quality is the new quantity.

In today’s marketplace, quality is the new quantity.

It’s a simple equation: if you want to be taken seriously as a company and create long-lasting customer relationships, then you have to deliver an experience that exceeds expectations in every way possible. It means paying attention to detail, being consistent with your brand story, and delivering an experience that makes customers feel like they matter–something we call “customer service.”

Conclusion – Best custom t shirt company

While there are many t shirt companies out there, only a few can offer their customers the best quality and customer service.

We are after great. Insanely great. Our commitment is the pursuit of perfection. We desire to make every experience a great one. Our attention to detail drives us to produce the best products in our industry.

Our focus is to help our customers shine, so they get the credit and recognition they deserve.

Whether you a looking to fulfill an order for a large organization. or just looking to launch a new brand, we offer services that will help you succeed.

Our success comes from a customer-first mentality. We will always do what is best for our customers.

Why Premium Screen Printed Shirts are Better Than Cheap Tees

June 29, 2018 by Oh Boy! Print Shop Leave a Comment

Screen Printed Shirts are Better Than Cheap Tees: 

Say you’re looking through your wardrobe in the morning, deciding what to wear. On the one hand, you have a regular t-shirt that’s a bit boxy, is boring to look at, and isn’t particularly comfortable. On the other hand, you have a t-shirt that fits well, has a cool screen print shirts and is wonderfully soft on your skin.

If you’re like most people, this isn’t a difficult choice to make. Now imagine the people you’ve sent t-shirts to. They have to make the same decision. The question you need to answer is, have you made it easy for them to choose your t-shirt by providing a quality screen printed garment they’ll enjoy wearing, or is your shirt just another tee they’ll never wear?

When it comes to screen printed t-shirts or any product for that matter, quality is always an investment. While it can be tempting to cut cost in the short-term by ordering cheap or economy tees, going with a premium option may end up saving you money overall. Price shouldn’t be the point, let me explain.

Next Level 3600’s

Custom T Shirts: Is Bulk Printing for You?

July 19, 2017 by Oh Boy! Print Shop 1 Comment

Bulk Printing Custom T Shirts:

Someone once said, “Too much of anything is bad.” That can be said of many things like sugar, alcohol, or Nickelback. But can the same be said about custom t shirts? Strange segue, we know, but we want to discuss how printing in bulk can be beneficial for your brand or business.

We normally associate “bulk” purchasing with wholesale stores like Sam’s Club or Costco where the idea is to purchase large quantities of goods that are assembled in packs or lots at a reduced cost. Now, how exactly can that be applied to custom t shirts and is it worth doing so? Let’s take a look.

custom t shirtsThe More You Order, The Lower The Cost Per Unit.

Businesses like restaurants purchase materials they need like paper towels, straws or silverware in bulk as it helps save in costs. In the standard practice of bulk or wholesaling, the cost per unit will decrease as more of the item is purchased in each transaction. You’ll find that many screen printing businesses will engage in the same practice. The more you print, the less the cost per unit. Now, there are several situations where it could be very beneficial to print in bulk.

Athletic Jerseys or Uniforms.

If you’re looking to print jerseys or uniforms for an athletic club, you should keep in mind the possibility of wear and tear. Whether it’s for a corporate softball team, a little league team, or something else that requires lots of athletic movement, having extras in case you need to replace a damaged jersey or custom t shirt would be a good idea. Most screen printing companies will charge a significantly high fee to print just one garment as it requires utilizing resources such as ink and screens which normally are used for large orders. Who knows? You might make it to the championship and the last thing you’ll want is your star player wearing an apron with numbers written on the back because you didn’t have an extra jersey.

Promotion/Marketing

There are numerous ways to get your business out there to the public. We’ve actually covered some pretty coolscreen printing austin marketing methods here . One of the strategies we discussed is printing custom t shirts with your logo or design and giving them away as prizes. This method creates impressions and brand awareness. Not only is this a great way to connect with your employees or customers, you’ll also receive free promotion when the garment is worn. It’s definitely one of the most cost-effective ways to grow your business. Need an example? Try this on for size: That was a kind of a pun, by the way.

Sujan Patel is a titan in the marketing industry and he explains how he made over $900K in revenue by giving away t-shirts. You can read his article here.

Spend Money To Make Money. 

Earlier in this article, we touched on how bulk printing can be more cost effective in the long run. However, that doesn’t mean you should go for the cheapest material you can find. The key here is durability. Also, quality. Oh yeah, can’t forget comfortableness. Ok well, those were a few keywords. Point is, you want those who receive your shirts to love wearing them. Quality equals longevity. The longer a person wear your shirt, the more publicity your brand/business/charity/etc gets. The last thing you want is for your shirt to be worn only once and then used as a wash rag the following weekend. Another plus is you’ll get consistent quality on your orders since they’re all done in a single run.

Marketing Your Brand With Custom T-Shirt Mock-Ups

January 17, 2017 by Oh Boy! Print Shop 1 Comment

Use custom t-shirt mock ups to your brand’s advantage.

Market your brand with a custom t-shirt mock ups: We can tell you about a mouth-watering burger with a half-pound, hand-formed 78-percent-lean Prime Angus chuck patty measuring three-quarters of an inch thick and topped with melted Gouda cheese, avocado, caramelized onion tendrils complemented with a fluffy green lettuce leaf, a sweet, but firm tomato slice, and a spicy house-made sour pickle. It might raise an eyebrow or two. But if we show you a picture of this glorious beast, you might just ask where you can sink your teeth into one.

Humans are visual folk. When it comes to marketing, the right kind of imagery will have a major impact on the customer’s decision to buy a product or service. This is especially true when it comes to the custom t-shirt industry. You might have a pretty neat online store for potential customers to browse but if you don’t have the right imagery showcasing your custom printed shirts, rather than just displaying it, you’re not effectively utilizing the tools at your disposal.

As an aspiring musician or an artist, selling custom t-shirts is a vital component to the success of your brand. Yes, you read that twice. No, it was not a typo.
