What Time Is It? 5 Timely Seasonal Business Ideas

With the popularity of smartphones increasing among all age groups, more and more people are wearing fewer wrist watches.  How is this news for a screen printer?  No, this does not explain why your screen maker is always late, it shows a trend in printable t-shirts to pocket t-shirts (so smart phones can easily be carried).  Contact your existing business customers and let them know you have pocket t-shirts & apparel, can print on pockets, and how that might suit their employee and/or customer apparel needs for this changing apparel trend.

Other seasonal ideas:

1. Do you know Ad Specialty and Advertising Agencies in your area?  Many of these companies have been selling to customers in your area longer than you may have been screen printing.  They have been using screen print companies for their apparel sales.  Find them, meet them and let them know you may be able to screen print for them.
2. The traditional travel agent, due to web services, is an endangered species.  The ones than have remained rely upon their ability to sell local groups and tours.  Find them, meet them and let them know you may be able to screen print for them.
3. Veteran groups like VFW and American Legion are more prominent today and use screen printed apparel as well as sponsor many fund raising events.  Find them, meet them and let them know you may be able to screen print for them.
4. We are in an election year.  Campaigns use screen printed apparel for staffers in numbers larger than would imagine.  Be sure to collect at the time of delivery.  Campaigns lose momentum and can fold quickly.  Find them, meet them and let them know you may be able to screen print for them.

Many screen printing companies are using pad printing or tagless printers for these prints too.

Simple ideas are over-looked and forgotten by even the most experienced screen print companies.  The key to building sales for a screen printing company is always, find them, meet them and let them know you may be able to screen print for them.
