Use Apparel to Reinforce Your Corporate Brand

It takes over 1.6 million yards of brown cloth and 175,000 miles of brown thread to outfit UPS’s 84,000 drivers worldwide. That’s a lot of thread…and a lot of brand mileage!

Not sure how to choose corporate apparel that gives you the right image? Use these quick tips to help guide you:

  1. Let fabric play a role. Denim work shirts make sense for a rugged construction company. A fine-gauge cotton sweater fits the image of a bank. T-shirts reflect a youth-oriented, active organization.
  2. Step-and-repeat patterns. Try this on ties, scarves and other accessories. You’ll create visual interest by drawing attention and long-term recall by reinforcing memory of your corporate brand!
  3. Choose decorating techniques carefully. Is your corporate brand upscale? Opt for embroidery over screen-printing. Does your image ooze glamour? Go with glitter inks. (Whatever your image, ROBYN has decorating ideas, just ask.)
  4. Build recognition through consistency. Try a campaign: distribute a t-shirt one week, then a cap, then a coordinating scarf. The more types of garments that your logo appears on, the more exposure it’ll receive. This is a great technique before a fundraising event like a walkathon or a large gathering (e.g., a convention/trade show).
