When it comes to trying to establish a good name for yourself, it doesn’t happen in just a day or two. It often takes years of being focused and disciplined when it comes to doing things the correct way. There is an old saying that says those who fail to plan, plan to fail. We have always taken the approach that if you get up in the morning and follow that plan of action, then after a period of time you are going to have a good result. Of course there are no for sures in business or in life for that matter. There is a lot to be said for a good work ethic, but that is in no way a substitute for having good direction. For example, if you’re running as fast as you can and you’re running North when you’re supposed running South, you’re simply running the wrong way.
I have always been a student of people and have been of the opinion that you can learn a lot from your competitors. They can teach you good habits and business practices as well as help you to avoid making mistakes. I’d much rather learn from someone else’s mistakes than make my own. Whoever said experience is the best teacher was a complete imbecile. That might be fitting in some areas of life, but definitely not in the business world.
One strategy that we have embraced is to get on a major search engine and do a relevant search such as St. Louis screen printing company or custom embroidery. See who shows up at the top of the landing page. Click on their website and study it well. There is a reason they’re up at the top. What can you learn from them? Are they offering their potential customer anything that you’re currently not? Trying to get yourself at the very top of that landing page can be extremely difficult as well as challenging, to say the least. If it happened overnight and was easy, then everybody would be at the top and that’s obviously not the case.
We are a St. Louis embroidery and custom T-shirt printing company who has the right strategies as well as solutions when trying to create a scenario where you are going to be just as comfortable acquiring your screen printing from us as we are making it for you. This approach has proven successful time and time again when it comes to not only earning your initial business, but in making you a repeat customer as well. We understand and are well aware of the fact that although every embroidery order is similar, they are all unique in their own way. This is why we don’t have one of those automatic bidding tools on our website. That in no way will be able to adjust the quote based on your unique situation such as an extra quick turnaround time or special shipping arrangements. We really encourage our potential customers to give us a call. We will find a way to address your order in a way that is going to be mutually beneficial for everyone involved.
