LinkedIn Poll on Logo Apparale as an Advertising Medium....

I am running a quick little poll (very un-scientific, to be sure, but anecdotal and interesting nevertheless). The basic question is about the effectiveness of logo apparel as an advertising and/or brand building medium. Please take a minute to respond (and comment).

Cutting Vinyl and Twill

I've been playing around lately with my new "vinyl cutter." What is a vinyl cutter, you may ask? It's a device that very precisely cuts out shapes in materials that can then be heat applied or embroidery applied. Decorations to think about for this are things like names and numbers on athletic jerseys, tackle twill decorations for sweatshirts, and team-name screen-prints for flannel pants. Like so many things, the concept is easy, but the execution is difficult. Slowly but surely, however, I'm getting the hang of it and am pretty excited about the many new avenues of decoration this will allow us to offer our customers, in super-high-quality, reasonable prices, and quick turnaround. That's the name of the game, right? Let me know if you'd like to learn more about our vinyl cutter! Of course, you can always learn more by simply going to our website at www.EO-NE.com. As always, thanks for listening! Mike

Last test, I promise

As annoying as this is, at least it's in the middle of the night. You should be sleeping! Mike

Testing out "Networked Blogs"

Hopefully this doesn't annoy everybody, but I'm testing this out to make sure it posts properly. Sorry to be a bother! Mike

Wow, my first blog........

Hi! Congradulations, more to me than to you! I've entered a whole new world..... the so called blagosphere. I'm hoping occasionally to post something here which is interesting and perhaps even helpful.

Most likely, it will have something to do with things related to my business, which involves school uniforms, screen-printing and embroidery, promotional products, and scouting uniforms. All of these things are done in our retail store, Educational Outfitters, located in Nashua, New Hampshire.

We'll see, perhaps I'll surprise you (or me) and tell you something useful!

Mike
