Thankful for Partners like our ROQ NOW #PartnerInPrint Apparel Redefined in Illinois, USA. “…It’s [the ROQ NOW] the Ferrari, Rolls Royce, whatever, McLaren, top-line you want to talk about in terms of DTG, which stands for direct to garment. We did an exhaustive search for about two and a half years. Right before COVID and a little bit into COVID. We knew that E-comm was not just a future, but a sustainable way to provide value to clients that were probably either already in the E-Comm game with print on demand, or going to get into that game, but really wanted to achieve a screen print feel and durability with DTG. And before the ROQ NOW, that didn’t exist. So we shopped all around, we did a ton of testing. We met Ross and his team at ROQ and really, really hit it off, and all the things that we were looking for, not just in the performance of the machine and the apparel and the print, but also from a partnership side, really nailed the deal for us." – John LaRoy, Apparel Redefined CEO #DigitalPrinting #HYBRIDPrinting #ScreenPrinting #ScreenPrint #ScreenPrinted #ScreenPrinter #ScreenPrint #PressOnward #YourPartnerInPrint #ClickPrint #ROQ #ROQUS #ROQDigital #DTG #DirecToGarment

Why is Apparel Redefined Excited to Partner with ROQ US? It's a whole new world in terms of experience right now. We've talked a little bit on a couple of other podcasts about the American economy, it went from a product economy to a service economy to an experience economy. ROQ is all three of those. You have the products, you have the service, and you have the experience. We go on events, tours, trade shows, and other types of events. There's business to be done. But then there's also the relationship building. Our industry, as big as it is–everyone's got T-shirts and everyone's got decorated apparel, polos, hats, what have you—is still relatively small in terms of the number of people who are doing it very well and take pride in it.

Have you ever wondered how companies get those cool uniforms or branded giveaways? 🌟 Well, I recently found out about a really interesting part of the clothing industry that not many people know about: making custom clothing for businesses on special projects. 🎨✂️ Think about it like this: when a company wants to stand out with its clothing, whether it's for their staff uniforms or for special events, they don't just buy stuff off the rack. They actually work with designers and manufacturers to create something unique that reflects their brand and values. 💬 I recently attended a Business Networking International (BNI) event, and it got me really surprized that not many people knew about this business. There's so much potential to help businesses express themselves through their clothing choices. Whether it's for a startup or a big company looking for a fresh look, there are endless possibilities. 💡 Why settle for boring when you can have something made just for you? 🌟 Let's talk about how we can make your company's clothing stand out and tell your story. Reach out today to explore the world of personalized apparel for your business! 👕✨ #CorporateFashion #CustomApparel #BrandStyle #SpecialProjects #CreatingUniqueClothing

I love a secondhand Vinted bargain 👚 👖 👟 Lots of us do - we've seen an explosion in fashion resale in recent years! But I've often wondered, is this wave of secondhand love just a trend?

🍫The Willy Wonka experience is a perfect example of when brand expectations miss the mark. This article hits the spot on the tension that exists between expectation - and reality. The poster for ‘Willy’s Chocolate Experience’ looked incredible - a smorgasbord of rich chocolatey colours. But on arrival at the event, parents found off-cuts of brown carpet representing a chocolate river, rationed jelly beans and a quarter cup of supermarket lemonade. In this instance, the disparity between the promises of the event's branding and the lacklustre reality underscores a broader narrative about the fragility of consumer trust - and the consequences of failing to deliver on expectations. It serves as a cautionary tale for both brands and event organisers alike, highlighting how crucial it is to deliver on authenticity, integrity - and the promises made to consumers. https://lnkd.in/e5wG8Tq8
