As more and more Americans find themselves spending ever longer periods of time online, most have gotten comfortable with ordering items online. After all there are many benefits to ordering something online. You can do it from the privacy and comfort of your own home at any time of the day or night that is convenient for you. This is great for people who lead busy lives and may not be able to drop everything and drive across town to a brick and mortar store. Nowadays most physical stores even offer online websites where their customers can also shop! This is great and we only expect this trend to continue.

However, one thing that occasionally gives people pause when they are considering ordering something online, is the shipping aspect of things. It is unfortunately the case that many companies charge a great deal for shipping and handling and as a result many consumers have become rightfully wary of these potential additional high charges. Not only that, there is the assumption that since something is being purchased online and shipped, it will take much longer to arrive and may not be received by the time that it is needed.

The good news though, is that here at You Design It, neither one of those potential problems actually comes into play. We offer free shipping on all of our orders. Our pricing is also all inclusive and we don’t tack on any hidden charges. That means that the price estimate you see online is your final price and you will not have to worry about it suddenly jumping much higher when you get to the check out page.

Worried about the shipping and production time? No problem! We realize that many of our customers are ordering their custom t-shirts or hats for a specific occasion which may be rapidly approaching. For that reason we also offer rush delivery options. As always we try to keep the fees on these rush orders as low and reasonable as possible. In fact we do not attempt to profit from our rush orders at all. Instead we only collect the additional money that it will cost us to expedite your order.

Remember though, that we ship everywhere in the country for free. That even includes Alaska and Hawaii. We will ship your order directly to your door and our goal is always to make things as convenient and affordable as possible for you.

Anyone who is well versed in marketing and advertising will tell you that branding is a very important aspect of growing a company’s business. It is essential that you develop a name and logo that your customers, and even your competitors, will quickly and easily recognize. This is because you want to build a name for yourself. You want to people to recognize your company and associate it with quality and performance.

One of the ways that people frequently sabotage themselves on this front is by having quite a few different styles and logos for their companies. This can potentially mean that people do not realize that it is all one company doing all these amazing things. Worse, they may remember a specific logo or font style and be looking for a company with that logo or style to give their business too. Imagine how frustrating it would be to have your company passed over for business because the customer is unaware that yours is actually the company that they are looking for and remembering fondly!

The best way to avoid this devastating situation is to make sure that your branding is consistent. You’ll want to use the same company name, script, and logo on all of your various company items. That is where You Design It can help. Since we offer a wide array of custom apparel options that means that you can order everything for your uniform from us, ensuring that it will be printed and/or embroidered in a consistent, similar style.

For example many businesses need everything from custom printed t-shirts for some employees that might work out doors for example, to custom embroidered polo shirts for others who may be working inside the office. It also isn’t uncommon to want to provide your employees with other winter items such as long sleeve t-shirts, long sleeve polos or button down shirts. We also see many companies who want to order custom sweatshirts or hoodies for their crew. To literally top everything off many customers also decide to order custom embroidered hats bearing their company logo. We also certainly don’t want to forget about aprons if any of your staff cooks at work, or if you just want to give them a nice little take home gift.

As you can see the possibilities are almost endless, but in all cases You Design It offers affordable, high quality options in each of these items. Having everything printed with us will ensure a consistency and uniformity. As an example take a look at this cleaning company who not only ordered their employee shirts from us, but also their custom hats:

Their design came out great and they were pleased to receive items that matched so nicely. As you can see from the above image we even offer such big brand names as Nike. If you do not see the brand or style that you are looking for on our website you are also welcome to inquire directly about it. In many cases we are able to get a specific shirt or hat for you even if it isn’t listed on our website.

One last benefit – we accept outside artwork for your order. That is also huge when it comes to consistency in branding because it enables our customers to send us the same logo that they may already have on items like letterhead and other stationary. After all, most well established companies do have their own logos and we are proud to offer the opportunity to get those logos printed on their apparel orders. Getting the two together is an unbeatable combination that improves pricing and makes you look better while you are at it!

Imagine the following scenario – you own or run a landscaping company and your employees are working diligently. They are mowing laws for the customers, trimming hedges, and generally making everything look neat and well manicured. However, there is a problem. You live in a very warm part of the country, or maybe it is just a hot time of year. That means that while they are trying to work the sun is bearing down on their heads, making them uncomfortable as well as drenching their faces with sweat. This not only makes it difficult to see, it can be potentially dangerous since they are likely working with powerful equipment. So what do you do?

The best solution is to get them custom baseball caps to wear as part of their uniforms. These hats will help keep the sweat out of your employees’ eyes. The hats will also provide some nice shade, ensuring that glare won’t be a problem either. All in all they are a very simple and effective solution to a very frustrating problem.

However, the benefits of doing custom embroidered hats for your landscaping business don’t stop there. These hats also provide a great opportunity for marketing your company. After all, everyone who sees your employees wearing these hats will then be exposed to your company information. This will stick in their heads and the next time they need a landscaping project done guess who they are going to call.

Best of all, since we gladly accept our customers’ outside artwork that means that if you already have a company logo that you want to use you are welcome to upload that to us for use on the hats. This ensures that all of your materials for work are consistent and professional looking. After all, what you want to accomplish is effective branding for your company and it is important to provide a solid, well maintained look.

We recently did an order for custom hats for a landscaping company called Custom Care Lawn Service. They selected black hats with, what else, green embroidery! The hats came out really great and we were delighted to be able to send them something that they could be proud of. Take a look at their design:

So the next time you need some custom embroidered hats for your landscaping company make sure you come to You Design It. We have a great selection of hat styles and colors. We also make sure that our prices are affordable while keeping our standards and quality to a maximum. With personalized landscaping hats everyone is a winner!

One of the most frequently asked questions that we receive at You Design It is about our pricing. When we get this question in phone calls, we usually have to ask a series of questions to arrive at the price. That is because the exact price is based on several factors such as the product selected, the number of pieces being ordered, and the number of ink colors in the design. Naturally we don’t mind going through this with our customers and assisting them in any way that we can. However, what we find in many cases is that the customer isn’t looking for an exact price so much as they are looking for a good starting point in estimating their cost. That is where our price indicators for each product become very important.

When you are in the beginning stages of making a purchase for custom t-shirts, you may already know some of the general information about your order, but still be working toward nailing down the specifics. For instance, you may know that you are on a tight budget and if so, you would of course want to look for the most economical t-shirt to start with. On the flip side, you may be looking for a premium T-shirt and you may not mind paying a little more for it.

With these types of situations in mind, we have created a pricing key, or pricing indicators. When you are looking at the product pages to choose your item, these pricing indicators will appear as small icons next to the product. You will see varying numbers of dollar signs and these various dollar signs will give you a relative price estimate for each item. Here is how the indicators work:

• $ = Most Affordable
• $$ = Standard
• $$$ = Premium

Here is a snapshot from the site of where you can find the pricing indicators next to the products:

Thus you can see that the Jerzees 50/50 tee is considered one of the most affordable tees while the American Apparel tee is considered one of the most premium. That will help you pick your product accordingly and give you a relative idea of what you can afford based on your budget. Remember, however, that this is only one factor. The quantity being ordered and the number of ink colors in the design will also heavily impact your price. The main thing to keep in mind is that two identical designs and order quantities will always be less expensive on an affordable tee, versus a standard tee, versus a premium tee. Keep this information in mind and you are well on your way to making the wisest selection for your purchase!

Helping keep you informed on how the pricing works is one of the best ways that we can keep you happy with knowing you are getting the best price. Our transparency becomes much more apparent when you see that we aren’t hiding the pricing, that we just can’t give you a proper price until we have all the factors involved. You can rest assured you will get the best price once we have that information.

We just wanted to remind you that there are a few events coming up that you might need custom t-shirts for. Don’t worry if you have waited until the last minute because we are definitely a good place to come for these tight deadline, rush orders. We are always happy to help our customers get their order in an expedited timeline. However, it will definitely save you more money to take advantage of our free shipping policy and order ahead of time so that you have plenty of time.

Most schools are having graduation this month and custom printed tees are a great idea for that remarkable achievement. It lets the graduate know that you are proud of them and recognize all the hard work that they put in. Custom t-shirts for graduation are also a great way to mark the event and get the former students a nice commemorative item that they can have and enjoy for years to come. This is even more fun if they do it with a group of their friends.

We have already started seeing a lot of t-shirt prints and t-shirt designs geared towards those two events.

Judging from the looks of the screen printed t-shirts, it appears that the champs are rubbing it in. Do you have an annual tournament or competition that you and your friends participate in? If you do, then it’s a really cool idea to treat the winners with custom printed t-shirts. Whether it be intramurals or at a family reunion every winner deserves a tee.

Here’s to the Comet Cup Champions and to their cool t-shirts printed by yours truly:

It looks like they competed in several different sports and that must have been a ton of fun! It makes their victory all the more impressive as well and we are delighted that we got the chance to print their celebratory t-shirts. These t-shirts truly are a great reward for a big victory.

That is definitely fine with us and we can match that design for you with no trouble.
