Business owners and managers sometimes miss golden opportunities to reinforce their brand and the image of professionalism for employees in the public eye. One such opportunity is the use of workplace clothing and custom corporate apparel. Here are answers to five common questions about custom corporate apparel, industrial uniforms, and restaurant apparel.
1. When I think of workplace uniforms, I think of heavy-duty fabrics. How is corporate apparel different?
While rugged fabrications are appropriate for workers in certain types of jobs, corporate apparel is designed with fashion and comfort in mind. For example, there are a variety of shirts, some of which are appropriate for casual office wear and others that offer a more professional look. Oxford button down shirts, for example can provide a professional dress look and boost company image with custom embroidery. Another option is Polo shirts, these provide a more casual feel but with custom embroidery offer the same professional image.
2. Aren't uniforms more readily associated with industrial and delivery companies, or those who are in blue collar jobs?
While uniforms and blue collar work go hand-in-hand, many white collar employees appreciate the ease and comfort of wearing custom corporate apparel. In fact, many who work out in the field give positive reports about the aura of authority and expertise that such apparel conveys. In addition, many medical and dentistry professionals say that having employees wear custom medical scrubs, and lab coats lends a casual professionalism to the office atmosphere while allowing them to bypass personnel issues that arise as the result of enforcing dress codes.
3. My employees range in size from petite to very large. Some wear plus size clothing. Wouldn't it be impossible to find one shirt that works for everyone?
Not at all! Many of the brands Noble Products carries offer small to big & tall sizes. Port Authority and Red Kap are two of the main brands of corporate and industrial uniforms and both have big & tall sizes.
4. Is it possible to buy shirts that reflect both our company colors and our company logo and name?
Absolutely! With many brands to offer including Port Authority, Red Kap, and others, you are sure to find a color and style to meet your needs.
5. How can custom corporate apparel reinforce our company's brand awareness?
Custom corporate apparel, industrial uniforms, chef's coats and server shirts, as well as medical scrubs can enhance your company's brand awareness in a number of ways. Embroidered logos or company names announce your brand to your customers or clients. In addition, you can use customized shirts as promotional items and giveaways for trade shows, community events, charitable work, and contests.
Whether you have ten employees or 10,000, custom corporate apparel, industrial uniforms, restaurant apparel, and medical scrubs has a number of advantages, from standardizing dress codes to creating a corporate image to reinforcing brand awareness.
