Preamble: Omaha Promos, LLC would like to acknowledge the hundreds of victims of the devastating tornado outbreak on Arbor Day, 2024. The National Weather Service confirmed 12 tornadoes across eastern Nebraska, including two EF-3 twisters. The path of destruction, particularly the 30+ mile route one tornado took from Elkhorn, Nebraska to south of Blair, Nebraska, leaves us humbled and grateful to God all human lives were spared. Still, many families lost homes and businesses. Omaha Promos asks you to #supportlocal as these Nebraskans start to rebuild their lives. Your prayers and support are helping!
Summertime is a big season for promotional products, branded merch and custom apparel for your company or non-profit. People are out and about and this is your opportunity to gain some name recognition in the marketplace through the use of custom branded summertime promotional products and logo gear for your friends, supporters, employees and customers alike.
This year's suggested jumping off point for logo wear and company branding has to be the ubiquitous t-shirt. A custom tee from Omaha Promos is one of the best investments of your self-marketing dollars you can make. We can design you a truly unique, comfortable and stylish t-shirt, but there are a few general guidelines to consider.
First, your logo. Perhaps you already have a digitized logo and if that's the case all you need to do is share your camera ready art with Omaha Promos and we'll do the rest, but if you don't currently have a company logo or you're interested in a refresh, we can certainly help you with that.
How about color? This might not be as obvious as you think. Mixing up colorways and designs, even if they are different than your business profile or logo, can be a useful way to stir new interest in your name and brand. For example, neutrals and muted colors or tone-on-tone designs are great because they're typically easier to mix and match with other items in a person's wardrobe.
T-shirt fit and shirt material go hand in hand are are something to carefully consider as well. Gone are the days when people expected (and were satisfied with) boxy, all-cotton t-shirts that weren't flattering or comfortable. Nowadays, company tees are trending more and more toward what we in the industry call "retail feel" - meaning the shirts are generally constructed with an athletic, flattering fit and come in a variety of preshrunk fabrics.
So yeah. Let's talk more about materials. Again, cotton is something of a dead fabric by today's standardsd and Omaha Promos advocates any number of performance blends, poly fabrics and/or poly-cotton blends, soft tri-blend tees and so on for your project. We even carry several lines of lightweight, wicking performance tees from all the big name manufacturers such as Haynes, Nike, Russell, Champion, Adidas and many more.
Whether you sell your Omaha Promos promo t-shirts or give them away (or a combination of the two), it's our position your custom t-shirt project will provide the greatest return on investment if you let us design you a shirt that stands out and people intrinsically love to wear. We will build all the style, looks, fit and performance into your custom apparel project. Don't fall into the trap of saving a few pennies and wind up with your project tanking because people aren't enthused enough about your t-shirt design to wear it. After all, a custom t-shirt from Omaha Promos can be an awesome marketing tool (think: walking billboard!), but only if the shirt looks cool and feels great! People have to wear your shirts!
