By Alex | September 24, 2005 A number of US sites have taken to producing charity t-shirts to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans. Thisismyblog has an excellent round up of the stores offering apparel. I repeat their list here: 1.) Threadless – Regrowth: Katrina. Request a reprint if you want one. Threadless will contribute $20 to the [...]
Posted in Websites | | Edit By Alex | September 23, 2005 Stocks of Hugh’s limited edition t-shirts are running pretty low, with some sizes now completely sold out. It’s strictly first-come, first-served: Each gapingvoid t-shirt is from a limited edition of 200. One design, 200 shirts. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. I won’t be reprinting the design. Once an edition sells out, it is replaced with [...]
Posted in Clients | | Edit By Alex | September 22, 2005 Whilst we are a big fan of John Lewis’s website, we need to remind fat-fingered callers that we are not John Lewis, Oxford Street but in fact Indigo Clothing. Their number is 0207 629 7711, our number is 0207 329 7711. Now I have got that off my chest I feel better already
By Alex | September 21, 2005 Indigo only offers about 300 different products in our online product catalogue. We in fact can supply literally thousands of styles but we believe there is such a thing as too much choice when it comes to promotional catalogues. For example, we can get nearly 200 different t-shirt types or brands from our wholesalers but [...]
By Alex | September 20, 2005 Everyone’s favorite cricket fan and client services team member, Richard “Dickie” Heathcote, will be leaving Indigo today and heading up to Newcastle University to continue with this studies in Marine Biology. His days of stomping around the office, novelty light-sabers in hand, will be sorely missed. We wish him luck with his studies and hope [...]
By Alex | September 19, 2005 Luxist, a blog for Fashion products, suggests that American Apparel, the US based, ethically orientated, promotional clothing manufacturer, could be the new Gap on the High Street. They do now have a store on trendy Carnaby Street in Soho, London, but nevertheless this is quite a bold claim. Their marketing has become notably sexier, certainly [...]
Posted in Websites | | Edit By Alex | September 17, 2005 Gigi Swanson over at Music Business Marketing has written a great article about the role t-shirts play in useful merchandise for touring bands: As an artist/performer you are selling an experience and fans will buy a souvenir of that experience in the form of a CD, clothing, buttons, posters, etc. As music fans we have [...]
Posted in Websites | | Edit By Alex | September 17, 2005 Indigo are starting to look beyond the shores of the Britain for partnerships with foreign promotional clothing companies whose standards, principles, quality and pricing are inline with our ours. We get a lot of non-UK vistors to the site and we would love to be able to service our foreign vistors. The blogosphere is a [...]
By Alex | September 15, 2005 An artist named Amanda Appleby came to Indigo Clothing with a t-shirt printing request. She wondered if we could take some artwork she had produced and turn it into a screen-printed t-shirt. “Fine”, we said, “we do this everyday”. However, we shocked when a beautiful print of four SAS soldiers arrived at the office the [...]
Posted in Clients | | Edit By Alex | September 13, 2005 Work stopped for 15 minutes today as the whole office stepped outside to wave at the victorious England cricket team on their London open-top bus victory parade. Lisa took some great parade photos. Well done England!
