Guide for Custom Logo Polo Shirts

By Dale Corby

Custom Logo polo shirts are a great way to bring together your employees, and to brand your promotional message at the same time. Think of imprinted shirts as walking billboards with a lower cost per impression. Not to mention the person wearing it is going to appreciate you for them.

I remember the first company I got an internship at, they had some quality polo shirts embroidered and then handed them out. I have to say that it gave me major pride to wear my promotional polo shirt, and I felt like an important part of the company. Since I love marketing, I just love to write about marketing tools. You know how once you get something and then you notice it all over town like a new car?

Since I received my first promotional polo and loved it, I have seen corporate logo polo shirts at tradeshows and conferences, I have seen promotional polos as uniforms, I have seen shirts gifted, sold in college book stores, and company stores, plus themepark type stores. It goes to show you that people really like quality customized shirts, otherwise you would not see them all over town.

Custom polos are a outstanding way to deliver branding & marketing. It is very important to buy polo shirts that everyone will love, there is no use in buying cheap shirts. The most important element that makes customized polo shirts work, is that they are worn and consequently appreciated. If people don't wear them, your company doesn't get appreciated and branded.

Ok, so now you are educated a bit more about custom logo polo shirts from my perspective, here are some helpful tips when purchasing your promotional polo shirts.

* Its the quality! Purchase good shirts, name brands are great for ensuring quality. Buy Nike, Outer Banks, Port Authority, Ping, Jerzees, Red House, and Hanes polo shirts.

* Buy shirts in quite a few different sizes, colors and styles and have them printed at once. You dont have to purchase the exact same shirts or even the same style of shirts for everyone.

* When imprinting polo shirts, most often you will get them silk screened which is the less expensive method, and with embroidery which involves converting your artwork using special digitizing machines, and then getting them embroidered. Embroidery usually does cost more, but it is worth the difference because embroidered shirts look so fantastic!

* Ladies polo shirts? It is going to be about the pretty colors with feminine styles.

* Men are easy to purchase polos for. Purchase polo shirts in Medium, Large, and XL. Get colors in black, blue, or green unless you are trying to coordinate a company logo color. Be sure to get a few 2 XL & 3 XL shirts for the heavy guys, and please note; the bigger sizes do cost more.

* Youth polos are best in bright, fun colors.

* You can get samples of a polo shirt from us if you want to feel the shirts before buying. We can even customize a shirt with your logo and send it to you before purchasing.
