The Breakdown

As apparel decorators, most of you aren’t strangers to the concept of custom personalization. Every time you fulfill a team jersey order, or a business uniform order, odds are your customers are at least curious about the option to personalize their product for the end-user. 

With sports jerseys, that looks like a specific name and number added to the back. 

With uniforms or corporate polos, that looks like a name or monogrammed initials added to the chest.

But those aren’t the only two use-cases for custom personalization — in fact, far from it. Most every order has the potential to be customized for end-users. 

Think about designing custom apparel for an organization or club: won’t the volunteers appreciate having their names on their tees, making them stand out from the other branded shirts in their closet? Won’t the kids in the theater club get more excited about hoodies that feature their initials, rather than hoodies that just include the club’s info?

It’s about transforming your products into offerings that end-users will be the most excited about. Because when you convey that that excitement is possible, and when you show your customers how to achieve it, they’ll be rightly convinced that custom personalization brings real added value.

And that’ll massively impact your sales — because you’ll be able to monetize it. 

That’s right: you can set custom price points based on different personalization add-ons, which has the power to substantially increase your average order value. All by offering customers products that come with more intrinsic value.
