I'm Courtney Matlick with Stahls' CAD-CUT® Direct. With fall sports season just around
the corner many apparel decorators are busy decorating team uniforms. Although it's already
a bury time of year,it's a great time to maximize your sales by offering customized fan apparel
to go with those team uniforms. For every person who's on the field this season, there
will be at least five people in the stands cheering them and the team on. And each one
of them from parents to siblings to neighbors classmates and friends each one of them represents
an opportunity for decoration. With CAD-CUT® material and a variety of special effects
available, it's easy to create custom garments that are also fashion forward. Let's take
a look at some of the sales opportunities this fall off the field. Decorating fan apparel
creates opportunities for a variety of fan markets. I'll start by decorating a woman's
v-cut sweatshirt with CAD-CUT® Glitter Flake for a fellow student cheering on the team.
When selecting a blank for you design, it's important to choose a garment that will flatter
your customer like this fitted sweatshirt. The CAD-CUT® Glitter Flake on the garment
is a hot seller among young females, cheer teams and dance squads. And it's sure to get
your garment noticed. (MUSIC) What good is a sweatshirt without a matching
pair of sweatpants to bring the look together? Customizing full outfits sets is easy with
CAD-CUT® materials. Mix and match Glitter Flake colors and designs to create a full
outfit package to sell to your customers. Pair together a sweatshirt, pants and t-shirt
and sell the package at a discount to make the most off of every sale. (MUSIC)
Bling is big make your designs really standout by offering your customers CAD-CUT® Glitter
Flake on a complimenting bling t-shirt like this sparkle tee from Pennant Sportswear.
For each of these designs I've used a piece of clip art from the Stahls' CutUPS template
package and personalized for the customer. Sell more this fall by offering to personalize
the garment with the customer's sport, player name or number. (MUSIC)
There's no bigger fan then Mom and she presents an opportunity for customization as well.
Polyester fan jerseys are a great way to offer fan apparel that compliments the look on the
field. Rather then stock multiple materials in your shop, you can us Glitter Flake on
these jerseys as well to jazz up the sporty look. Customers will love the full glitter
finish it's durable to last through many seasons. (MUSIC)
You can sell this look with only a front placement, or personalize the back with a players name
and number and charge an extra $10.00. (MUSIC) Our
final fan apparel item is for a male student friend or dad cheering on the team. When choosing
a garment to decorate for fall sports it's good to pick a garment that fits the fall
climate in your area. For this reason we've chosen to personalize a performance sweatshirt
with FashionFILM Electric. Electric is a durable foil material with a unique finish that's
sure to appeal to all markets. For only pennies more then a regular heat transfer material
you can offer a foil look that won't crack or peel when laundered. (MUSIC)
So as you can see, the potential for these add on sales is unlimited. If you're currently
decorating for local teams this is a great way to add to your current sales by offering
these items to fans, parents and students to show there local support. If you aren't
decorating for these teams spirit wear can be a great way to get your foot in the door.
