The Perils of Sourcing Direct Part one of a six-part series

The Store of The Future Revised

By Adriano Aldini, Imprint Canada

By Ted Stahl

Throughout 2013, Imprint Canada will be running a six-part series focused on direct overseas sourcing, the inherent risks and costs associated with it. At first glance, it's not difficult to understand why sourcing direct from an overseas manufacturer would appeal to distributors‌.at least in theory, that is. In the never-ending quest to lower costs, buying direct - again in theory - allows distributors to lower their added costs and sell a product or program for less and/or for a higher gross margin by circumventing the importing supplier or factory-authorized middleman =PMZM IZM UIVa QV\MZ^MVQVO NIK\WZ[

involved in said product or program. \PI\ LIUXMV IVa XW\MV\QIT [I^QVO[

Unfortunately, theory makes this course of action WN [W]ZKQVO LQZMK\ NZWU IV W^MZ[MI[

UIV]NIK\]ZMZ seem vastly more appealing than it really is. While buying direct appears to be less expensive on the surface, hidden costs, added risks, and logistical complications can quickly undermine (and vastly outweigh) any potential savings to be had. For distributors, being aware of these inherent perils will help them better navigate their choices when determining where and who to partner with for their sourcing needs. <W]ZKQVO -QZMK\ ,WV\QV]ML WV 9IOM

About 10 years ago, I wrote an article for a trade publication talking about “The Store of the Future.� It talked about the challenges we were facing back then, such as the digital revolution that was transforming the way graphics were created and applied to garments, as well as the fact that the competition for the graphics customer’s dollar has grown more intense than ever. Seems like times haven’t changed much. As we head into 2013, custom garment specialists are still wondering what impact more recent technological and economic changes will have on their businesses. Like I said back then, “Smart retailers know they can’t take a business-as-usual approach if they hope to continue.�

Trends to Understand When it comes to consumers, convenience is still a main shopping concern, perhaps even trumping the need to save money in some cases. But whether a consumer is more interested in price or convenience, the transparency offered by the internet today makes it almost impossible not to offer both to your customers.

Garment Manufacturing You can’t offer decorating services when you don’t have the right garments. For many consumers, it comes down to whether or not you have the right brand names. However, the big guys don’t always want to play with smaller decorating companies, making it difficult for you to offer their famous brands. This is a big mistake!

Are the Risks Worth it? One of the business strategies that I have adopted over the past 20-plus years is to maintain consistency in the relationships I have with vendors that provide products and services to my own business. I like knowing what to expect, I like knowing that the companies I source from know my business, and I especially like to know that these companies understand the relationships that I have with my own customers and are aware that any potential breakdown on their end ultimately effects the companies that rely on my business. I like the warm and cozy feeling which that piece of mind brings me when deadlines are met, expectations are surpassed, and we have the opportunity to do it again and again. Why re-invent the wheel? Why try using another vendor when fault cannot be found with vendors I current rely on? Companies are solicited to change vendors daily. If a vendor "just ain't doing it for you," I can see why the need to source a different solution exists. If all is good, but pricing becomes an issue, then why rush to source someone new? Sometimes discussion of mutual needs can lead to solutions of a different nature, but a solution nonetheless.

Sometimes, businesses source "in-house" and try "going it alone". Unless you have inspirations and long term goals for your company to become a fully, vertically integrated machine, I strongly suggest you keep true to what made you successful in the first place. Taking on the additional risks, liabilities, headaches and self accountability that are outside your primary realm of knowledge and experience is an enormous step (and one which often comes fraught with risk). Parameters distinguishing manufacturers, importers, suppliers, wholesalers, distributors, retailers and resellers in our industry are becoming fuzzier and greyer by the day. Yes, there are those that have been, and will continue to be, tempted to look upon these blurring boundaries as market opportunities. But at what cost do these opportunities come at? Money lost and business lost if the goods/services sourced fall short in terms of quality, timing, or availability. Reputations can go south faster than Canadian snowbirds.

The proliferation of the almighty internet has made it easier for some to make money - and for some - easy to lose money via the lure of easily accessible knowledge and contacts. What the internet can't (and won't be ever able to) replicate are the well-established relationships and mutual understanding of needs that exist between client and customer. This can only be achieved through an ongoing win-win partnership which takes time and personal attention to carefully cultivate. You won't ever find that in a URL.

5 Reasons You Shouldn't Source Direct From Overseas 1. FINDING THE RIGHT MANUFACTURER AND SOURCING MATERIALS: Searching for dependable manufacturing partners around the globe is the first cost associated with going direct to produce a program or a product. Many suppliers in our industry have spent years cultivating long-term relationships, setting up manufacturing facilities and establishing supply chain infrastructures overseas to deliver a great product offering at a competitive price. In doing this, they have taken on a great risk and a hefty financial commitment. Distributors looking to save a couple of points by sourcing direct will quickly realize that one of their biggest challenges will be securing a reliable, trustworthy manufacturer on the other side of the planet. This is a difficult endeavor when you are sitting behind a desk somewhere in Canada. Do you have the time and resources to travel to across the world and tour factories, meet project managers, all in hopes of finding a right parter for your program needs? If you don't speak the native tongue, you will need to hire a consultant, agent or broker help you with your research, and the good ones don't tend to come cheap. Some of the qualifying factors you'll want to explore for vetting a manufacturer include: • Is the factory financially stable and have ISO certification? • Is there a quality management system in place? • Does the factory comply with global standards for human rights in the workplace? • Are environmental laws and regulations being followed? The process of selecting a factory requires so much time and resources that it becomes very easy to curtail your search and just go forward with the manufacturer that "seems right." Searching for materials is another enormous and time-consuming undertaking. Are you

going to rely on the factory to match the desired material for your custom apparel or hard goods program? If the answer is no, then you're looking at the added cost of hiring an overseas material sourcing manager.

2. PROGRAM EXECUTION: Assembling a design team and project managers is another big expense when going direct; this, in and of itself, comes with notable challenges. The wages and benefits required to cover project management expenses are often underestimated and add to budgetary requirements. Establishing roles, responsibilities and workflow doesn’t happen overnight, it takes extensive time and planning. Getting a process in place that is cost-effective can take years to perfect and it usually comes with a steep learning curve. Handling fluctuations in workload also brings up the issue of retaining staff year round or hiring on an as-needed basis. Both scenarios come with their disadvantages; the former is more costly while the latter makes maintaining a trained work force difficult. Trying to determining all these costs up front is challenging to say the least. Translating conceptual ideas into finished products is not something which happens overnight either. Since all the materials you require to manufacture your program may or may not be available as readily as you would like, spec designs can be easily be compromised in this direct overseas manufacturing model. Distributors looking to cut corners (something which is highly ill-advised) can submit conceptual designs to manufacturers and rely on the factory to design the product. But this option comes with a immense risk as you may end up being stuck with manufactured samples that are nowhere near to what you had mocked up. Bridging the communication divide between your designs and the factory floor - to ensure products meet specifications - takes time, patience and money to fine tune and perfect. Even though many of the popular promotional garments and hard goods product categories have been knocked off or reverse-engineered by offshore manufacturers, there is no assurance of adherence to original specifications on dimensions, materials or overall performance. The only way to ensure strict adherence to these parameters is to develop a detailed set of product specifications to which the imported products must be manufactured. Translating designs into production-ready documents is a much smoother process if the distributor has established long-term relationships with factories and has a firm grasp of the capabilities the manufacturer has. Again, this doesn't happen overnight or at a marginal cost; suppliers in our industry have spent years get this right (so you don't have to). 3. QUALITY CONTROL: Any distributor that has ventured into sourcing direct will tell you that quality issues can quickly wipe out any potential savings you had hope to achieve going in. You could have the right manufacturer, the right materials and the right program execution in place, but when your order is shipped, you find that the product quality is inferior and unusable. Once the product specifications are determined, preproduction samples must be obtained for testing. An incoming process should be established to ensure each and every shipment is inspected on an ongoing basis for adherence. The establishment of ISO certification for incoming inspection provides consistency through process, but is not necessarily a measure of quality. Many factories overseas don't exactly fit the gold standard for customer service when forced to deal with quality issues. In fact, if a massive quality discrepancy arises, don't be surprised to see the factory walk away from the project rather than work to fix it (especially if your dealing in small volume). Proper quality risk analysis is critical to ensure that the final products you receive are as good as the samples you've approved. Occasionally, goods are not in accordance with samples, quality is not as specified, or they are otherwise unsatisfactory. To prevent costly mistakes, you will need to have in place a critical quality management system. To ensure the highest quality is produced, keeping a company-owned, multidisciplinary quality control team on the ground overseas is ideal. While this team should be composed of non-factory employees, it’s important that they fully understand the factory’s processes and can communicate seamlessly with the factory project managers. <W]ZKQVO -QZMK\ KWV\QV]ML WV 9IOM

To combat this, some middle to small-sized manufacturers are consolidating their processes and are getting together to "join forces" to compete against the bigger guys. Someone is going to create a brand that will be able to compete by offering a wider variety of quality garments that will be comparable and more accessible to smaller decorators. This cooperative type of marketing will allow smaller garment decorators to offer a brand that is competitive in both price and quality. There’s always room for another rival. We’ll also probably see a rise, as they have in Europe and Asia, in more and more sports teams using manufacturers that also do the embellishment in the factory, especially in "made-to-order" uniform situations. With labor costs being what they are, sometimes this is the most inexpensive option. However, it also opens a niche to those who are able to be more flexible and affordable when it comes to after-market decoration.

However, don’t dismay. While they may be your competitors, they are also helping to create a bigger marketplace. When awareness is raised, it can also have the effect of raising the price points people are willing to spend. I’ve seen it happen in the classic car marketplace—as certain reality shows fan the flames of interest in cars, prices go up. The same thing is happening in the custom printing marketplace.

Heat Printing Trends We will continue to see an increase in the use of heat printing to decorate garments of all kinds, especially as more and more performance and sublimated fabrics become popular. There is growing acceptance now more than ever by major garment manufacturers for heat applied transfers, for materials that can breathe, and for materials that offer sub-blocking and special effects (like metallic and reflective).

My most important prediction is more of a statement of fact than a premonition: all is well in the world of garment decorating. Those of you who are working hard to keep up with changes in your customer’s needs will benefit and grow. Like everything else, the industry is moving at a faster pace than ever before, so don’t be afraid to get out there and get some of that new business for yourself.

Ted Stahl is the Executive Chairman of the Board of GroupeSTAHL, an international group of companies specializing in heat printing methods. Stahl is a well-known industry veteran with more than 40 years’ experience in all aspects of apparel graphics, from manufacturing and marketing, to product design and retail operations.

For infrequent or smaller-volume programs, the cost of hiring a company-sponsored quality control team doesn't make fiscal sense and can quickly make you realize how the theory of going direct is quite different from the reality. You could hire an agent to but this will eat into your resources as well.

4. SHIPPING + LOGISTICS: If you plan on going direct with smaller orders, shipping partial containers also tends to be costly, especially with energy prices always on the rise. The shipment also needs to be insured against damage which is another costly element of sourcing direct. Unless smaller volume quantities of products are purchased through internet sources, longer lead times should be expected when dealing with an offshore manufacturer. Due to the nature of a manufacturing facility having no finished goods on hand and the proximity of offshore locations, lead times will be substantially longer than those of manufacturers that have a domestic base of operations. Not only are the lead times to manufacture the product a consideration, but raw material lead times as well as extensive shipping times tend to be much longer then domestic freight carriers.

Longer lead times can lead to costly missed opportunities, or worse, lost business; what good is a client's spring program if it arrives to you in May instead of February? Furthermore time can quickly evaporate tracking lost shipments and replacing missing items Another risk factor to consider is currency fluctuation; due to the "short-term nature" of price guarantees offered by factories, price fluctuations often occur when going direct. Before entering into a commercial contract, you will need to determine the value of the product in domestic currency. As there is always a gap between the time of entering into the contract and the actual payment for the goods, determining the value of the goods in domestic currency will help you get a better idea of the actual cost of the products you are importing.

5. INVENTORY & SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT : Program inventory will most likely need to be warehoused. Because of the longer lead times, higher inventory levels and carrying costs must be considered. Additionally, direct imports generally require substantial quantity buys of single SKUs to justify manufacturing runs, and offshore shipments are usually by the container load for optimum freight utilizations. Offshore suppliers generally do not provide payment terms and many may require a deposit or full payment in advance. In addition, longer lead times are not the only concern in dealing direct; long-distance supply chains are often inflexible and inventory balancing or annual stock adjustments usually are not offered. This makes unexpected fluctuations in market conditions extremely costly to manage. Shipments "already on the water" cannot be cancelled due to market slowdowns. Likewise, spikes in demand are just as difficult to manage. These Five reasons are important and realistic considerations to consider when the idea of sourcing direct comes up. While theoretical and potential savings to your bottom line are enticing, overlooking these realistic factors can prove to be extremely costly. In the next edition of Imprint Canada, we will look at sourcing locally and the inherent benefits associated with doing so.

What’s In a Name? - Part 3: Second Names and Tag Lines By Mark L. Venit, MBA

Additional Company Names In cases where changing an existing name is highly problematic, oftentimes a second and/or third name become smart, practical options. This option is particularly useful when you’re looking to strengthen your position in one or more specialty or niche markets. For example, your business, Great White North Custom Apparel chooses to further your penetration into volunteer fire companies in search of fundraising campaigns - an area where your firm has had some success and has developed its own such programs. A second company name that might attract more interest could be Hook & Ladder Apparel or Firehouse Fundraising. Or if you are marketing to fishing clubs, your second name might be something like Fish-On Shirts, Deep Sea Designs, or Freshwater Fashions. Handling phone calls to the new second company can be done with a dedicated phone line (an additional line) or simply answering your phone with both names (e.g., "Good morning! Maritime ShirtWorks and Freshwater Fashions. How may I help you?"). The second company name is easily implemented as well with a separate web address. As you develop additional special markets and product lines, you might need to add additional names and or resources to properly segregate the divisions.

Tag Lines Oftentimes, in addition to second names - or in lieu of going that route - you can opt to use a tag line to better define who you are and what you do. A tag line is a word, a catchword, a phrase, or a short sentence that helps spread your message as to who you are, what you do, who you serve,

your company’s advantages, et cetera. Properly promoted, displayed, and reinforced over time, a tag line becomes part of the identity, or associated with a product, company, person, group, event or place. With famous people, certain such phrases become a signature element in their personas. When a major league baseball team wins a World Series, you’re bound to hear its MVP say, "I’m going to DisneyWorld!" Let’s play 20 Questions. See if you can correctly identify the catch phrase, nickname, slogan or tag line associated with the following: (correct answers appear inverted below) I

Getting the answers for all 20 questions is almost impossible because of your age or personal interests. If you’re under 40, you probably never heard of Henny Youngman, a famous mid-20th Century comedian. If you’re not from Calgary, you might not have even heard of the centennial slogan, which was targeted to the locals (who marketers learned buy 75 per cent of the tickets to events). So, how’d you do? Congratulations to all the winners! Because if you got even ONE right, you understand tag lines and positioning statements and you understand the associative relationship of a company, product, person, event, or other entity with a certain phrase or words.

20 correct though, you really need to get a life). Obviously some tag lines are better than others and some are a lot easier to remember than others; some are known only to people who use the product or service. But each phrase listed came to be associated with something else -- by happenstance, through long-term advertising and marketing investments, personal involvement or memory, or whatever. Shorter is usually better, though longer phrases can be successfully effected with gazillions of ad dollars behind them, as in the case of a year-and-a-half McDonald’s national ad campaign during which people learned that a BigMac™ consists of "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions – all on a sesame seed bun." That campaign was first run in 1974, but remains in the minds of millions of people nearly four decades later. By the way, the correct answer for question L) (about McDonald’s) is today, “I’m lovin’ it,â€? but if you answered “McDonald's is your kind of placeâ€? (run in 1967-1971) or “You deserve a break todayâ€? (run in 1971 to 1975 and revived twice – 1980 to 1983 and 1989 to 1990), score it as a correct answer. This illustrates the point that campaigns and tag lines change over time to what suits the company’s evolving objectives for itself and vis-Ă -vis its competition. In Part IV, we’ll look further into memorable tag lines for decorated apparel companies (and I’ll share some you can use for your company) and help stimulate ideas to help you develop a good tag line for your company. We’ll also look at “descriptors,â€? an easy means of further defining your company name and your company’s positioning.

What is the benefit of using a satin stitch? What other types of stitches are there? Using different stitch types is functional and creative. There are three basic types: walk, satin, and fill. 1. A walk or run stitch is a single stitch on a single path and is primarily used to track under the design to get from one place to another, to create manual underlay, and to create finishing stitches or outlines. 2. The satin stitch is used to “fill� an area and create a “solid� look and is commonly called a “column� stitch. The satin stitch is governed by its stitch length which is actually the “column width�. The stitch length is important as too short a stitch is invisible and breaks thread; too long a stitch adversely affects tension and machine speed as well as leaves loose floppy stitches which catch and rip out. When the satin stitch column is too narrow, then a run stitch is used. When the column is too wide, then a “fill� stitch is used. 3. The fill stitch is created by rows of running stitches with a density (close togetherness) and an offset value (which makes the stitches appear blended). Modern software has many embedded formulas to allow the digitizer to present many different looks with “fancy� fills.

Leather is not as difficult as most people imagine. Here are a couple of things to remember about leather. 1. Leather stretches. Make sure you stabilize the leather so it cannot stretch while you are sewing on it. A sticky backing such as Filmoplast is very useful and saves the mess created by over spray from embroidery adhesive. It sounds bizarre, but a water soluble topping such as Solvy helps enormously. P.S. Tear off the topping – don’t wet the leather! Belt technique: Hoop the Filmoplast alone in a reasonably large size hoop. (You may need two pieces for stability). Tear away the release paper and expose the “sticky� backing. Place the hoop on the machine; lie the belt down firmly on the sticky backing and across the hoop so it is centered for the embroidery; Sew! 2. Needle penetrations cut the leather and leave holes. DO NOT use high density designs! Make sure your designs and letters don’t have short (tiny) stitches. Avoiding high density and short stitches will reduce the number of close together needle penetrations. (And stop the design from cutting a hole out of the leather!) Use a regular SES (ballpoint) needle.

How would you recommend a new embroidery What are the most common mistakes you see company go about gaining market share in the embroiders make? How can these be avoided? One of the biggest mistakes I come across is improper hooping; fabrics school and team apparel marketplace? must be first stabilized in their own natural lie! A common mistake is Personal relationships are everything in this business. Forget the e-mail and the flyers. Go pound some pavement! Don't be scared to put yourself and your services out there. Do you know anyone in the school? How about anyone with the team? Maybe a parent or a coach or a teacher? You will need to do your homework to find these people and make your personal service and your company the “preferred� supplier using hands-on relationships within your community. Once the decision-makers at the schools become familiar with who you are and what your company does, it won't take very long for the word to spread to other schools in your community. Oftentimes, one or two referrals are all it takes to get the ball rolling.

How much more should I be pricing my puff embroidery vs. regular embroidery? There are two factors involved here: additional supplies (foam) and additional time on the machine. The cost of foam is minimal and the cost of extra time on the machine is calculable. If you charge by the 1000 stitches, you will need to add a factor for the added time on the machine to deal with the additional handling of the foam. An old fashioned way of calculating time on the machine is to say $1.00 per sewing minute. Remember, the largest factor in pricing embroidery is time on the machine. No one pays you until the job is done!

How do I avoid letters from puckering on fine fabrics like microfibre? There are two very important things to look after. 1. Stabilize the fabric properly in its own natural lie (no stretching!!). This means you will need either sticky backing such as Filmoplast or use a temporary adhesive spray with your backing. The fabric should be stabilized BEFORE it is hooped. A water soluble topping such as Solvy could be in order as well 2. Make sure the letters do not have too high a density and try using a zigzag underlay to help with the colour coverage.

to make the fabric "drum tight" in the hoop. The action of pulling the fabrics tight in the hoop leads to the fabric being stretched out of its natural lie. This invariably produces puckering in the finished design as the fabric relaxes after the hoop is removed. Most embroiderers realize how difficult it is to manage stretch or knit fabrics. However, you can pull or stretch a solid or woven BUT care must be taken not to do so because the fabric appears stable. Stretching fabrics in the hoop will also create holes in the "negative spaces" of small letters, (i.e. inside the B, R, P). The stretched fabric will actually be cut by the needle and you suddenly have "Islet" embroidery. Another common mistake is not to use a complete piece of backing (stabilizer) which is large enough to fill the entire hoop. If your hoop is 7" round, you will need an 8" square piece of backing. Incomplete support of the fabric across the whole hoop will lead to wobbly irregularities as the fabric is not stable for sewing. Finally, choosing inappropriate fonts is something that eludes many embroiderers. There are far too many fonts to choose from in today's software. Ask yourself: Which are the most common fonts? Keep these one in your "stock" library. You will only need very few: a good block font for small to medium letters, a legible script font, a block font with satin serif ends for large letters, a block font with single stitch serif ends for small letters, and perhaps an athletic block font. Sew them out on different fabrics and at different sizes. Get familiar with which one to use and when. Pay attention to the software recommendation for sizes. When you are comfortable with the basics, try fonts which are created specifically for small letters and then try a 60 weight thread for clarity. Remember, a good embroidery font is one that creates clear and legible words.

I am getting requests to embroider leather belts. I haven't worked with leather, or belts. What tips can you provide to help me do this correctly (and quickly)? IMPRINT CANADA

"It got to a point that we were doing more custom garments than retail goods, so we decided to move in that direction and drop the retail side of the business altogether." This moved proved to be a wise one, and in 2009 the company moved into a new 2,600 square foot facility where Hishons Custom was born.

SETTING THEMSELVES APART

THE GENERATION'S GAP With two generations of Hishons at the helm, the company is fuelled by a healthy mix of new and established selling and marketing techniques. Through the effective implementation of social media, coupled with an old-school hands-on selling approach, Hishons Custom continues to build a ever-growing and wide ranging loyal client base. "Social media has helped us become more accessible and show our customers what we do and who we are doing it for," explains Mike, who has well over 1,000 twitter followers on his multiple accounts which he uses to connect to his followers and share the high profile work they produce. While Mike is busy tapping into the virtual marketing world, Ken keeps it old school through a classic personal touch with all his clients.

Mike also recently authored an e-book titled, "The Screen Printers Guide - How To Screen Print" which is chock-full of tips and tricks to help fellow printers in the business better train new employees. The book can be viewed online at www.thescreenprintersguide.com. Keeping in line with social media's M.O. of sharing pertinent and engaging content, the e-book aims to aid new and existing printers better navigate the intricacies of everyday workflow. "I've noticed a problem in the industry as far as production and keeping your bottom line intact," he says. From set-ups, to tear downs to mixing inks, there are many tricks to the trade that are condensed into his e-book, which comes complete with video tutorials, instructions and handson step-by-step techniques aimed at helping print shops boost profitability and production. +][QVM[[ 9ZWNQTM KWV\QV]ML WV 9IOM

"I thought that, as an owner with employees, if I could give my staff something they could have with them - either on their tablets or phones or laptops - to refer to while on press when I am not around, would save hours of downtime and prevent product from potentially being ruined."

THE K.L.T. FACTOR This dedication to decorating excellence - coupled with a guaranteed turnaround, competitive pricing and a friendly customer service experience - has fostered what Ken likes to call the "K.L.T. Factor." "Our customers Know, Like and Trust us for all their orders." A client that especially shares the K.L.T. feeling is the Stratford Festival; just last year, Andrew Lloyd Weber's Jesus Christ Superstar was playing and even though the buyer had committed to good inventory levels, they would continually run out of stock. On a Thursday before a big upcoming weekend, the festival buyer called and informed them that they needed 300 more shirts for the next day. Hishons Custom took action and had the product shipped from Montreal, printed, packed and delivered to their store in less than 24 hours. "That's why we are their supplier," explains Ken.

Stahls’ Canada Pushes Personalization Boundaries! Now Offering Custom Sublimated Jerseys & Apparel

Use an Unlimited Colour Palette with No Per-Colour Fees!

Sublimation is an advanced way of decorating apparel that makes every inch of fabric part of your canvas. Unlike conventional inks, heat and pressure convert sublimation inks into a gas fusing the ink to the fibers of the fabric. This exciting process offers you colour-fast, durable graphics that retain the lightweight appeal of performance fabrics. Call us today for more details. 800.521.5255
