Welcome to the new Instant Imprints blog.  Why create another blog when there are thousands out there already?  Quite simply, we see a need for informative content that is geared to the unique needs of our customers. After all, Instant Imprints is all about custom services—custom screen printing, custom embroidery, and custom signs and promotional items.  We call this blog “Give and Take” to encourage store owners, partners, and our customers to give opinions as well as take away useful ideas. We plan to make this column chock full of ideas for you—ideas that will help you more effectively promote your business, your club, or your cause.  

Some of things we’ll be covering in the blog include:

Info on the latest trends in decorated apparel and promotional items. For example, are you wondering how you can incorporate a sustainable strategy (think “green”) in your promotional products use?

Insight into processes we use in our business, so you can better understand what might be appropriate for you. For example, would you like to know when to choose screen printing vs. heat transfer?  And what is Direct –To-Garment printing?

Examples of your fantastic results. We’ll show off some of your best designs, and those interesting stories related to your business or organization.  Please write and share them!  

What won’t be part of the blog?  Customer service issues won’t be addressed here.  Our owner-operated stores are completely empowered to resolve those issues for you, and can rectify any problems you may have much more promptly.  It should go without saying, but comments that are overtly political, or not of a professional nature belong elsewhere and won’t be posted.  And we won’t be commenting on financial issues, or those involving proprietary information.

In addition to the blog, there are other ways you can engage with us.  If you prefer “short and sweet”, sign up to follow us on Twitter. If you are a Facebook  Fan, sign up on our Fan page.  It’s a great place to post photos and brag about your team or club.
These are our ideas so far.  Some are probably on track while you may have some great ideas we haven’t even thought of. What would you like to share? Give and Take.  Please take a minute to give us your thoughts.
