Brief
Our team is here to help you make it happen! If you have a new promotional product you’re looking to source or whether you want to improve existing uniforms for your staff, Alliance is here to help guide you in the right direction. Before we begin sourcing, there is some information we will need from you to ensure we get it right.
Make sure to send our team any inspirational images or general descriptions of the type of product or uniform you love!
We will often ask you lots of questions about how you will use your product or uniform whether you have any sustainability goals or company values we need to touch on.
Additionally it's imperative to discuss things such as logo and branding elements, personalisation, colours, decoration methods, volume, sizing, budgets and lead times.
This information helps us to recommend the best product fit for you and your team!
SOURCING & DESIGN
Now that we have your brief, we’ll search high and low to find you items that meet your expectations, branding requirements, deadlines and budget. Using our industry experience we will collate and present all our suggested items back to you based on your brief.
Alliance Promotions has global sourcing resources and a range of fantastic suppliers that we work with to deliver a great quality product every time. If we can’t find something you’ll love we’ll make it! Our team will coordinate product development and liaise directly with the manufacturer to provide technical advice and troubleshoot any complexities.
SAMPLING AND ARTWORK APPROVALS
Now that we have decided on the product it’s time to get designing!
We will start with a mock up of your product sent via an artwork approval to ensure you are happy with the design and placement of any branding.
For any custom products Alliance Promotions will then deliver samples with your custom logo or print to ensure that you are happy with the look and feel before proceeding with production. Need to make any changes? Now’s the time to let us know!
Don’t forget to provide your artwork in print ready files. Read more here.
