Short and Sweet!


Maximize the full potential of your on-hold messaging.

Here’s a top tip for you - Rather than scripting long messages, try and keep them short, sweet and straight to the point. The main aim of on-hold messaging is to implant the idea of a service or product while entertaining your customer. They’ll soon ask you for details once they’re connected.

Know your rights and get the best deals with ease.

Many businesses are afraid to shop around for the best deals on branded workwear because of daunting and often unnecessary set up costs. Set up costs only really exist to cover the cost of ‘digitising’ your logo. This is creating a version of your logo that can be stitched out by an embroidery machine using needle and thread.  If you have paid a set up fee with your incumbent supplier of embroidery, more often than not you own the rights to the digitised file and the right to take it elsewhere. At Embroidery UK Ltd we can accept a digitised stitch file of your logo so you don’t pay a set up fee, allowing you to switch with ease and start making savings straight away.

Ask questions and get clear results!

When choosing workwear for your employees a little bit of internal research can save time and money.

Asking employees about their views on current workwear will help you build a better picture of the functional demands on their garments. Our customers have found that employees get a lot more out of their clothes when they can make fully informed purchase decisions, getting more value out of the garments and often looking better for longer.

Why not put together a quick questionnaire to get the views of employees and keep yourself informed?

Location, Location, Location!

How do you secure the best locations for displaying your banner?

If you’re holding a summer event, one of the most cost effective ways to promote it is to display an eye catching banner. With banners it’s simple - the more people who see it, the more people will come - but finding the right place to display your banner isn’t always easy.

My top tip for securing a good banner location is to approach a business that has a great position near a main road or street with high footfall and ask permission to hang it there. In exchange you can offer to promote their business through advertising their services in your event programme! Any kind of sponsorship for good causes or local events is good for a business so get out there and chance your arm, you’ll be surprised at what can be achieved.
