Embroidered Workwear

Red… embroidered polo shirts have many uses, for work wear, sportswear and leisure wear.

Here’s what you need to think about before you place your order for Red embroidered polo shirts.

1. What for
You’ll need to establish what they’re going to be for. Plumbers will have different requirements for their embroidered polo shirts compared to sports club members.

2. Where
Knowing where they will be worn will make it easier to choose the right ones. Do your staff work outside in all weathers or are they on the shop floor, or in an office?

3. The colours you choose might reflect your corporate colour scheme, or perhaps you’ll want to inject a bit of variety into your workplace. Do you have to wear shirts and ties all the time, or will embroidered polo shirts be smart enough. Would you be happy working with a creative or web design agency that made their employees wear suits all the time?

4. Embroidered polo shirts need to be high quality so that they’ll last. As those wearing them will be representing your company, they’ll need to portray a good image. Would your potential customers be interested in working with a company whose staff look scruffy because their polo shirts have worn out or are falling apart?

5. When
Perhaps you’ll only be able to wear your embroidered polo shirts on dress down Fridays in your office, or maybe you’ll need to wear them everyday in the factory or warehouse where you work. You might wear them all year round, or perhaps only during the summer.

6. Brand
You might already have a brand in mind, or perhaps you just want the most comfortable, or the cheapest option. At Red, we’ve got polo shirts from Kustom Kit, Fruit Of The Loom, Dewalt, and Caterpillar as well as Gildan, Westex and more.

7. Quantity
If you’re buying in bulk, then remember to take advantage of our special deals. Equipping a workforce, sales team or retail store can be much more cost effective than you might think. There are also incentives from the Tax man that can help.

8. Design
If you’re not the creative type, then why not let us do the hard work for you? You don’t have to be a graphic designer in order to get your logo embroidered onto your polo shirts.

9. Help
If you’re not sure what you want, or which polo shirts are right for you, or which brand to go for, or what colours your logo will look best on, why not see how we can help? Have a look at our workwear deals

10. Value for money
You’ll want value for money from your embroidered polo shirts. No matter how much you’re spending, or what brand you choose, you’ll want them to last, and to represent your company. Getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake.

What type of workwear

Red work wear is always popular, and so we want to help you to choose what you need to make sure that you and your colleagues are wearing the appropriate clothing for work.
We always have a workwear deal available – with some great savings.

Here’s what you need to think about.

1. Polo shirts
Polo shirt can have your logo added to them, and are more suitable for wearing in certain jobs and situations than a shirt and tie. Whether you’re a painter and decorator, or a creative agency, you can look smart yet casual in Red polo shirts

2. Trousers
If you don’t work in an office, and perhaps work outside, or are involved with maintenance, installation or construction, then you’ll need your work trousers to be hardwearing and long lasting, and have plenty of pockets.

3. Sweatshirts
Sweatshirts are perfect for wearing when it’s a bit chilly, or as an additional layer under a fleece or jacket. With your company logo on, they’ll

4. Fleeces
Fleeces will keep you warm, and are lightweight, so are ideal for wearing all year round. They can be worn as an outer layer, or under a warmer or waterproof jacket. We can embroider your company logo on, to provide additional publicity and promotion for your company too.

5. Jackets
Jackets will be needed when it’s cold or raining. If you spend a lot of time outside, or travelling from client to client, why not stay warm and dry with our range of outerwear?

6. Boiler suits
Boiler suits are the best way to protect clothing when working in dirty environments, so if you’re a mechanic, painter or engineer, then you’ll want to make sure that you’ve got enough boiler suits.

7. Thermals
Thermals are designed to help keep you warm when it’s cold, and cool when you’re warm. If you work outside and are constantly moving, then you’ll want to make sure that you don’t get too hot or too cold.

8. Aprons and Tunics
Depending on where you work you might need aprons or tunics. Perhaps you’re involved in catering, or serving food, or maybe you’re a beautician or hairdresser.

9. High visibility
If you work outside, or in a potentially hazardous environment you might need a high visibility jackets or high visibility vests. Why not see which ones are right for you, whether you need to be seen all the time you’re at work, or just when you’re on site, or in an emergency.

Laptop bags, hats, gloves, belts and knee pads can make working easier and more comfortable. If you want to be more productive and efficient, why not see how Red can help you?

Why buy workwear?

Red… corporate clothing is suitable for any company, in any industry or sector who is thinking of introducing a uniform, or at least make sure that staff are presentable at all times.

If you want your staff to look like the professionals they are, then you may not want them turning up for work, or visiting clients or customers in dirty jeans and scruffy T shirts. By wearing corporate clothing, your staffl look smart, professional and show that they know what they are doing.

It’s important that your staff portray your company in a good light, and by wearing corporate clothing, you won’t need to worry about what people are wearing whilst working onsite.

Looking smart and professional is reassuring to clients, it puts them at ease and makes them feel that they have employed a professional organisation. By turning up to fix a broken boiler, or start a stubborn car in corporate clothing, you can be sure that your customers will get the impression that your company cares.

By wearing corporate clothing, you can help your company stand out from your competitors. Perhaps your prices aren’t as cheap, or you’re not always immediately available, but there’s a good reason for this. If your products and services are always in demand, because you’re receiving more calls, then it could be due to more people recommending you based on word of mouth. Would this be the case if you and your staff weren’t so well dressed in corporate clothing?

By having your corporate clothing embroidered with your company details, you can be sure that people will be able to remember your name and number, or at least know how to find you. This is even more important if your company name doesn’t accurately reflect what you do. In the same way that your company details are on your building, your vehicles, stationery and carrier bags, why not make sure that they’re on your corporate clothing too?

Red… corporate clothing includes polo shirts, embroidered shirts, sweatshirts, work trousers, fleeces, jackets, and much more, so no matter what corporate clothing you need, you’ll find it here at Red….

Why not browse the range of Red… corporate clothing today, and see what you and your staff need to do your job, and to look smarter, and more professional?

Shop closure

Abandoned work this week as the shop was forced to close. Due to the fire the workshop and stock rooms upstairs has been closed. The chemicals used to neutralise the smell are toxic so we have been forced to close all week. We have air scrubbers in at moment which cleans out the chemical and makes the air ok to breath again. Hopefully we are open today (Saturday) otherwise its wait until Tuesday.

Week 4 Jan 2012

I’ve decided this year to do a weekly update on a Friday as that’s the end of most peoples working week. However since we open Saturday too its not quite the end of mine.

What a weird week. 2 floods, one from the roof into the kitchen, and the other from the kitchen tap into the shop. We all needed trunks and towels this week, everything was soaking and smelly. Still it forced us to mop the workshop floor which was long overdue ;-)

Rachel has been pretty busy with embroidery designs all week, at the last count she had designed 12 logos this week. We have had a great bit of news from National Media Museum. They are continuing the sleepovers this year so Rachel has come up with a new design.

A new customer came on board with us this week. A move to a new company meant that the new general manager had used us before at his previous job and gave us a great recommendation.

New offer this week:
See the website for details

BAND OFFER

Quite a few screen printing jobs in this week so a very busy Saturday is planned.

Our banner continues to roll on Freemesa so don’t forget to go Green if you can. Its better to recycle than pollute.

In 1756 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born today – so happy birthday buddy.
