Branded clothing is a great way to achieve maximum exposure wherever you go! *63% of respondents said they use promotional clothing to ensure staff are easily distinguishable and stand out from the crowd.* **T-shirts** and **Polo shirts** are the most popular choice of garment – this is because they tick boxes in terms of comfort, durability, function and style.

Staff, customers, prospective customers - The audience demographic, who will see this? - The event or occasion. Is this for a specific event, exhibitions, charity fun day, golf days? - How often is it likely to be worn? Daily by staff, on occasion, one day event? - How do you want your brand to be seen by others?
