Atricle Dump - Embroidering on Headwear
Success in any advertising campaigns depends on four things: a good product or service, good ad copy, the right market and repetition. The item or service that an advertiser is promoting is a major variable in the equation for successful advertising. Unfortunately, that is something that companies such as ours cannot help you with.

Have you seen this happen to a woman you know?She gets very close to success - then turns her attention in another direction.She has an opportunity to "shine" at a meeting, but turns it over to someone else.You compliment her on what a great job she did and she gives credit to the team instead.She has a million-dollar idea, but decides to take the safer route and get a steady job and pursue the idea "later."These are examples of "playing not to lose" and it's often a common ailment of women in business. It's taking the safe option instead of really going for it.While part of this may be a result of our culture, we still have choices. And that choice can be to "play to win!"There are five principles for a "Play to Win" attitude
Digitizing and Embroidery Tips
WHEN TO CHOOSE EMBROIDERY
Hats come in as many shapes and styles as there are reasons and people to wear them. Some common types of headwear that sport embroidery today are knit caps, racing caps, headwraps, straw hats, bucket hats and visors. When considering a hat for embroidery, however, the baseball cap stands out from the crowd.
The baseball cap, an American invention, was first worn by national baseball teams and gained widespread popularity in the 20’s and 30’s when “regular folk” started wearing them to show support for their favorite team. The baseball cap, with the bill backwards, sideways or facing front, is more popular today than it was then. It is a trendy item that can “spread the word” for your customer for years to come.
LOCATION
Baseball caps come in 5 basic styles:
• high profile with high flat fronts, good for advertising but not as popular with younger hat wearers,
• low-profile with a lower frontal area and a sloping crown. This is the most popular style but has a more restricted embroidery area,
• pro-style, which is a low-profile hat with a more upright front—traditionally used by professional teams,
• 5 panel, a high-profile hat with no front center seam,
• 6 panel, available in high, low or pro-style with a front center seam.
For a design over 4” wide, which is to be sewn on a cap front, it is generally necessary to digitize from the middle of the design outward since sewing from left to right may cause most caps to pucker at the front seam. (This is not as much of an issue on a 5-panel, high-profile cap.) Therefore, if you are trying to cut costs to spec a job and are considering using one tape for both a cap and left chest, keep your design under 2.25” high and digitize for the cap. Your embroiderer will be able to go from a cap to a flat (left chest) much more easily than from a flat to a hat. For best results, of course, we recommend that each embroidery tape be digitized specifically for the area on which it will be embroidered.
If you are planning to embroider a design on the side of a hatband for a hat worn by men, make sure the design is placed on the left side. Anything on a woman’s hatband must be on the right side. (This custom has its roots in the seventeenth century and the Cavalier hat with its long plumes and ostrich feathers, which needed to be restricted to the left side to free the sword arm.)

A product consists roughly of two main elements. The function of the product – what it does or is capable of doing and the usability of the same: how it does it.Product developments starts often focusing on the first element. Compare for example the evolution of the windows operating system. When the first windows (95) arrived we were all amazed (may I say so) with the amount of possibilities we (not Mac or Nextstep users, etc) couldn’t imagine. If you look at the latest release of windows (called vista) the amount of (functional) features is not extensive. Yet the user interface has been improved a great deal. When comparing the four main releases (95, 98 XP and Vista) of the operating systems you could say that in the beginning the increase in functional features

The Austin Business Journal reported about a firm that ”buys and resells merchandise that has been closed out, overstocked or discontinued…to a wide range of retail outlets, from mom-and-pop shops to multinational chains such as Wal-Mart..”.Businesses everywhere struggle with changing buying habits, business costs and government regulations.Fads in clothing, toys, electronics, computers, furniture styles and eating habits change. Consequently, new unsold merchandise takes up warehouse space and ties up capitol.Surplus liquidators buy inventories of unwanted, obsolete or excess merchandise, often as low at .10 on the dollar, providing a cash injection for the seller. This merchandise is then resold at prices substantially below wholesale. One way to sourc

However, in the Web 2.0 world, search engines are smarter, and the old tricks won’t get you anywhere.If you read many blogs or forums, you have probably seen plenty of debates about keyword density.Many people believe that Google likes a keyword density of two to three percent, while Yahoo and MSN prefer six to eight percent (some even go as high as twelve).With all the disagreement on the subject, how are you supposed to decide what density to use?At SoftwareProjects, we believe that when you’re writing content, keyword density shouldn’t even

FABRIC
The most common fabrics used for embroidered hats today are poplin, twill and wool. Of the three, poplin is the best all around choice for embroidery. It holds its shape, shows off embroidery well and is pliable enough to be easily hooped. Twill and wool also display embroidery well but are not quite as pliable as poplin. Wool’s thickness and stiffness make it the most difficult of the three to hoop for the embroidery process once backing is included.
On the other end of the spectrum, avoid foam hats, which are impossible to embroider and painters caps, made of paper-thin fabric, which do not embroider well. If you want a finished product that you can be proud of, investing in a better quality fabric for your embroidered caps is well worth the investment.
DESIGN ELEMENTS
The baseball cap, in particular, can be a veritable “walking billboard” today with 180° and 270° hooping capability. This treatment is most often seen in resorts, pro shops or country clubs, but done tastefully, could show up at a company picnic or corporate event. Keeping the sides fairly simple is the suggestion here. A long, narrow design, interesting text or complimentary logos along the sides can make a statement without making the hat appear too busy or confusing.
A recent trend is to have a customer’s website address along the back of the hat and the company logo across the front. (This would require two separate digitized tapes.)
An ongoing problem with embroidery design elements for all types of fabrics is text size. This is especially critical on hats. A design layout may need re-thinking if small text is included. In this situation the company logo may be sewn across the front and text across the back or on the side. Script or serif fonts are not advisable for text up to ?” high. For best results, use capitalized letters in a sans serif font such as Ariel. (Your digitizer will let you know if the text in your design will sew out well at its original size.)
Suggested minimum letter height:
Polar fleece, nylon and corduroy..……………. 1/ 4”
Poplin, twill, wool and most other fabrics….. 3/16” MARKETING IDEAS
You could increase your chance of a sale as well as provide your customer with a promotional tool he might not otherwise have by turning him on to the possibility of co-op dollars. Monies are often available to help cover the cost of an item, such as a hat, to promote the vendor’s name alongside the company’s name. The side panels of a hat would be ideal for this.
