Looking for the Perfect Gift this Holiday Season? Think Apparel Options! By Elson Yeung, Ash City
With the holiday season in full swing, it's time to start thinking about gift-giving! With the vast selection of consumer products available, the expectations of the quality of gifts are getting higher. Employers can start to rethink the traditional corporate gifts and surprise their employees with on-trend apparel products that they will be happy to utilize - not only in the work environment - but also outside of work hours. Apparel is an excellent gift option this holiday season for several reasons: it has a very high perceived value; it's durable (meaning the gift will be utilized time and time again which provides ongoing corporate brand exposure); lastly, it's something virtually everyone enjoys receiving. Choosing the perfect apparel item can vary - across price points and categories - but still can have mass appeal through added value and design details.

The Perils of Sourcing Direct Advice from a veteran importer Part six of six By Adriano Aldini, Imprint Canada
Throughout the course of 2013, Imprint Canada's article series on direct overseas sourcing has looked at the perils of bypassing established supply channels, the state of domestic manufacturing in Canada, the benefits of sourcing locally, and the impact that the rising cost of energy has on imports. In this, our final instalment, we sat down with an importing veteran who has been sourcing products from Asia for more than 50 years. .^MV QUXWZ\MZ[ _Q\P LMKILM[ WN M`XMZQMVKM IZM VW\

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2013 are being spent on this investigation exemplifies the technological search for all things fast and beyond this world. The ability to conduct online business transactions continues to make our world a smaller place. I can purchase an item online and have it delivered to my door from Europe in three to four days. Also, purchasing goods online is quickly losing its cybercrime stigma as firms capitalize on providing services that assure security.
Beam Me Up! My 11-year-old daughter asked me the other day if time travel was possible as she had just seen a television show where kids bounce from one time period to another. Being a Trekkie, I responded lightheartedly that time travel would not be possible until we developed warp speed and figured out the space time continuum. Having never heard of Star Trek, she just looked at me confusingly and walked away wondering what kind of juice I was drinking. I thought about the answer I had given her and curiously decided to Google "warp speed," and what do you think I found? It turns out that NASA Eagleworks Laboratories reported in late 2011 that they had begun researching advanced propulsion physics. Whether time travel or warp speed is possible is not the point to this editorial. The mere fact that resources
Being able to capitalize or predict how quickly the manner in which any industry can grow its business depends on how adept one is in understanding the power of technology. Retail has changed and will continue to do so quite rapidly. Business to business - the same. All the while, social media and apps continue to transform markets and consumer behavior. What are the market opportunities that await? If you've figured this out, the next questions are: will the bullseye be there when you get there or will it have moved (since it too can progress forward as does your plan of action)? Or do you leapfrog tomorrow's bullseye, because you think every one of your competitors is going after it, and shoot for the one further down the road? They say that technology is supposed to simplify things. Yes, maybe it does in getting a consumer to part with his or her dollar. But there is so much more you have to wrap your head around if you are the one trying to get that dollar.

Industry News Gildan Activewear announces record results for fourth quarter
Technosport Canada bringing Oakley to Canadian market
Included in Dow Jones Sustainability Index; Appoints New Board Member Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL; TSX and NYSE) announced results for its fourth fiscal quarter and full fiscal year ended September 29, 2013. Net earnings were $96.8 million (all figures US) for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2013, compared with net earnings of $89.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2013 included a $4.7 million after-tax charge for the cost of unwinding interest rate swaps, which was discussed in previous quarterly press releases, and $0.5 million after-tax restructuring and acquisition-related costs. Before reflecting these items in both years, adjusted net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $102.0 million, up 7.5 per cent compared to adjusted net earnings of $94.9 million in the fourth quarter of the previous year. Net sales in the fourth quarter amounted to $626.2 million, up 11.5 per cent from $561.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Net sales for the Printwear segment amounted to $423.9 million, up 12.5 per cent the fourth quarter of 2012. Net sales for Branded Apparel were $202.2 million, up 9.4 per cent from the fourth quarter of last year.
Full Year Results Net sales for fiscal 2013 amounted to $2,184.3 million, up 12.1 per cent from 2012. The increase in net sales was due to the acquisition of Anvil, organic growth in Printwear unit sales volumes, and growth in sales of GildanÂŽ branded activewear and underwear to retail customers. These factors were partially offset by lower net selling prices for Printwear. Net earnings for 2013 were $320.2 million compared to $148.5 million in 2012.

"In a lot of instances, many of which have occurred over just the past several years, I've witnessed importers lose a lot money dealing with overseas manufacturers," says our verteran importer. He recalls having witnessed buyers from North America go overseas on factory tours which are not owned by the parties giving the actual tours. "In essence these buyers are inspecting factories that will never actually produce their products." Our contact explains that he too has fallen victim over the years to unethical behaviour from manufacturing parties and the agents who represent them. "I remember being taken years ago to visit facilities that were claimed to be those of the manufacturer giving the tour, but after some additional research we discovered that we were being sold on something that they themselves did not own." Another common pitfall that our importing veteran has been privy to is agreements in which a manufacturer will deliver one shipment according to order specifications. Once rapport has been established, the manufacturer will ask the buyer for payment in advance when future orders arise and once the money is received, the manufacturer subsequently vanishes.
CWT _T^_[T QTX]V UaPdSTS PaT Tg_TaXT]RTS X\_^acTab ]^c QTVX]]Tab P]S cWT bRP\b PaT QTX]V _Ta_TcaPcTS Qh R^\_P]XTb ^eTabTPb fW^bT ]P\Tb WPeT QTT] Pa^d]S U^a b^\T cX\T Manufacturers take payment in advance. This amount typically varies from 1/3 to 2/3 of the order total. Before the product is shipped, the manufacturer sends an invoice with the remaining balance along with a detailed packing slip outlining the exact manner in which the order is crated. "What happened to me is that I paid 30 per cent of the cost of the goods after approving a manufactured sample,"
explains our veteran importer. "A few weeks thereafter I was sent a shipping label and packing slip along with an invoice for the balance." When his freight forwarder went to pick up the shipment, he was informed that the goods weren't ready yet and it would require another week. In the meantime, the manufacturer was demanding payment on the balance in order to release the goods. At this point, our importer explains that he released the remainder of the payment so the goods could be shipped. Several days passed and when the goods still weren't released, it turns out the manufacturer then denied ever receiving the funds. After verifying with the banks in Canada and China that the money was in fact successfully transferred, he tried contacting the manufacturer, but was no longer able to; emails bounced back, his phone number was no longer valid, and faxes were not going through. "We have tried every avenue; we now have lawyers and the Canadian Government involved. We are working with the Canadian Trade Commission in China as well as the RCMP in trying to find this party," he says. "The Canadian Embassy also has a commercial attachĂŠ in China that is aware of this, but I think it is futile. They will never find him." After this happened, our importer brought his experiences to the attention of some of his former clients, who explained that they too had been victimized by a similar scheme. "These people being frauded are experienced importers, not beginners, and the scams are being perpetrated by companies overseas whose names have been around for some time. " Another horror story happened to a personal friend of his who operated a company that imported fine woven shirts. He explains that his friend travelled to Italy to purchase fabric and shipped it to Hong Kong to the factory he vetted months prior on a tour he was given. When he flew to Hong Kong to oversee production, the factory was boarded up and his thousands of dollars in fine fabric was gone. This type of suspect behaviour is not something that is new; it's been happening for years and will continue to occur. These are first hand examples of how, even with years

of experience, importers can be subject to serious risks and get burned. In addition to the risk of fraud, there's the potential for importers to incur large fines for any shipments that arrive but do not strictly comply with Canadian border service policies. "Importers need to be wary of the penalties that can result from Canadian Border Services if there are any discrepancies between the packing slip and the actual shipment, or if the labelling of goods is not in complaince with our standards in Canada," stresses our importer. "Even the smallest discrepancy can result in large fines."
Advice from an Expert When asked for his take on whether distributors should consider sourcing direct, his answer was a resounding "DON'T !" With more than five decades of importing experience, he strongly recommends leveraging the safety of established suppliers because the all the risk has been factored out. "They already have the inventory and the production quality is there with none of the aforementioned risks involved to the buyer." For example, he explains, when you buy something from a supplier in this industry, you can send it back if you don't like it, or if something is not right, or if it doesn't fit, and you have zero at risk of losing any money. Best of all the supplier will replace the product almost always immediately. He stresses that common sense - not just the numbers on the bottom line - needs to be a critical element when making sourcing decisions. "You may spend a bit more, but that is something that can be factored into your margins; it vastly outweighs avoiding the risks you must take when importing goods yourself."

Trending Toward Personalization and Automation By Claude Vlandis, Pulse Microsystems
The garment decoration industry is in a period of rapid technological innovation. Organizations are quickly adopting new technologies and business practices to help with productivity and profitability. One such change is the movement toward garment personalization and the automation of this process. It is becoming more and more difficult for digital print and embroidery businesses to remain competitive without offering a mass personalization solution to their customer base. Personalization is a segment of the business that provides a very high profit margin. The automation process builds on this, allowing you to keep costs low while maximizing productivity. Together, personalization and automation are making a large impact across both the digital print and embroidery worlds. The personalization process is very straightforward. Your customer creates their design from scratch or based on a defined template. They can add their name, initials or a personalized message to the garment. A personalization solution gives the customer the opportunity to see a rendering of the design and check for any mistakes before approving it and submitting for production.

It frees you from tedious tasks such as order processing and manual entry, creating more time for you to focus on other aspects of the business. With digital print automation, Variable Data improves productivity by reducing the time it takes to create multiple personalizations that are similar in appearance. The design process only has to be completed once and you can print many personalized items. As for embroidery, new personalization solutions are able to provide 3-D renderings of designs before they are approved for production.

Personalization is great for building a customer base in sports teams, clubs, and events because a single template can be the basis for hundreds of designs.

Automating your business maximizes the productivity of your employees. Your machine operators will be able manage multiple machines simultaneously. Instead of an operator taking the design manually from the order and inputting to the machine, the process is now as simple as scanning a barcode with your machine and readying the garment for production. Companies that have implemented both personalization and automation are sure to see a boom in businesses. When a company experiences this type of phenomenal growth, it must have the equipment and systems in place to keep up with demand. A great automation solution is one that is streamlined, allowing your organization to increase the rate at which orders can be handled and processed. This will allow you to scale up your business, meaning the automation solution will grow alongside the organization. When you are ready to automate your business, it is important to look toward an organization with experience and a reputation for quality.
