Why Is “Traceability” Now the Buzzword in the Apparel And Textile Industry?

By Garry Bell, Chasing Better Consulting Inc.

Picture this: You are the CEO of a multi-billion dollar brand importing products from China into the US market and your most recent shipment has been seized by Customs and Border Protection Services (CBP) because of a presumption of forced labour used in the production of the products.

You are given 60 days to provide clear evidence that no forced labour was used in any part of the entire production process, including where the cotton came from, and need to provide the following:

• Names, locations, and contact information for every company that was involved in each stage of the manufacturing processes, Traceability needs to be of growing importance to including proof of the origin of the cotton fiber in the products.

Canadian companies.

• Copies of commercial invoices and proof of shipments for each transaction/stage in the process.

• Evidence that your diligence program addresses forced labour, including training manuals, codes of conduct/ethics, audit results and more.

If this sounds like a far-fetched scenario in a crisis management training exercise, think again.

NEXT! Like most people, I have always enjoyed the spirit of competition. Even if two kids are playing basketball by the side of the road, I will stop to see who wins.

And it is in this same regard that I view the “competition” of selling of any product or service. Somewhere, there is a bar that has already been set that needs to be surpassed. Somewhere, someone is getting a greater share of the rewards.

When I first got into sales some 35 years ago, I hated it. The “No Thank You’s” killed me. I would take each “No” as a loss, even though I never had it to lose in the first place. I took rejection much too personally; I thought as though they were saying no as rejection of transacting with me.

The digital world we now live in has eroded much of the real-life interaction skills that the newest generation of sales people possess. Almost extinct, door-to-door cold calling is unheard of. That type of selling still stirs both anxiety and competitive juices in me as the build-up to what can potentially be is all on me. The challenge to make something of nothing!

There are zero guarantees to success in selling. But, those that work hard, those that see opportunity where others might see failures, those that are willing to swing for the fences without fear out of striking out, those that are relentlessly consistent will - more often than not - be further ahead than the competition.

The Humility Advantage

A Game-Changer in Growing Your Promotional Products Business

By Jeff Mowatt

In the ever-evolving world of promotional products, distributors and decorators constantly seek innovative ways to engage customers and stand out in the marketplace.

As we navigate the realms of social media marketing, it becomes increasingly apparent that the traditional approach of showcasing unbridled success might be due for a recalibration.

This is where the concept of the “Humility Advantage” comes into play; a strategic shift that can not only foster

authentic connections but also significantly contribute to the growth of your promotional product business.

Consider those annual holiday newsletters we all receive from friends and relatives, narrating a year’s worth of triumphs and milestones. While undoubtedly well-intended, they often carry an undertone of self-absorbed bragging.

The parallel to social media marketing is evident.

Businesses, in an attempt to engage customers and prospects,

may inadvertently sow seeds of resentment and disconnection by projecting an image of unwavering success.

However, social media marketing remains a pivotal tool for businesses to connect with their audience. The crux of the matter lies in the approach. What if, instead of incessant bragging about brilliance, success, and popularity, you embraced the Humility Advantage?

Picture this: alongside success stories, inject some humour into the narrative by sharing personal anecdotes that showcase the human side of your business. What if we dared to post humourous bits about our failings and foibles? This isn’t about airing the laundry of failed projects for customers, but rather about demonstrating authenticity and a refusal to take ourselves too seriously.

In the realm of customer service training programs, the emphasis often revolves around being perceived as a trusted advisor. Customers and prospects want to engage with businesses and individuals who not only excel in their chosen field but also embody a relatable and authentic persona.

The Humility Advantage, then, becomes a powerful tool in achieving this delicate balance.

Attempting to present a perfect image of unassailable brilliance, success, and popularity can, paradoxically, make a business unrelatable. Business owners, especially those entrusted with making significant buying decisions for their organizations, understand the imperfection inherent in every endeavor. It is in acknowledging and embracing this imperfection that the seeds of authenticity are sown.

The Humility Advantage is a recognition that, beyond the glossy veneer of success, lies a tapestry of everyday humanity.

When social media marketing posts reveal the less-than-perfect aspects of business life, it becomes a testament to authenticity. It sends a powerful message that behind the brand or the service, there are real people navigating the complexities of life—just like the customers and prospects they aim to connect with.

The Humility Advantage is a recognition that, beyond the glossy veneer of success, lies a tapestry of everyday humanity.

Why does authenticity matter? Because authenticity builds trust, and trust is the bedrock upon which successful businesses, careers, and relationships are built. In an era where consumers are inundated with carefully curated images and success stories, standing out requires a genuine, human connection.

As you embark on your social media marketing journey, consider the Humility Advantage as a guiding principle. In addition to showcasing corporate triumphs, share a morsel of personal news infused with self-deprecating humour. This nuanced approach not only humanizes your brand but also contributes to the establishment of a more meaningful connection with your audience.

The Humility Advantage is not a departure from success but an augmentation of it. It is an acknowledgment that true success lies not just in achievements but in the ability to connect authentically with others.

As you navigate the dynamic landscape of the promotional products industry in 2024, consider the power of humility as a catalyst for growth and lasting relationships.

1. Sustainability Takes Center Stage

In 2024, the spotlight on sustainability is brighter than ever. Consumers are increasingly conscious of their environmental impact, and this consciousness is permeating their choices in promotional products.

Eco-friendly materials, recycled goods, and products with minimal environmental footprints are gaining traction. From reusable drinkware made of bamboo to tote bags crafted from recycled textiles, businesses are aligning their promotional efforts with eco-conscious values.

Distributors should consider expanding their portfolios to include products that champion traceability and sustainability.

Collaborating with suppliers committed to eco-friendly practices will not only cater to the growing demand but also position your business as a responsible player in the industry.

2. Tech-Infused Promotional Products

As technology continues its relentless advance, promotional products are increasingly becoming more tech-driven.

Smart gadgets, wireless charging pads, and Blue tooth-enabled items are popular choices for businesses looking to leave a lasting impression. Custombranded tech accessories, such as wireless earbuds or smart watches, are not only practical but also align with

Distributors and decorators who embrace emerging trends and adapt their strategies accordingly will not only stay relevant but also set the stage for success in our dynamic and evolving marketplace.

the modern lifestyle.

Distributors should keep an eye on the latest technological innovations and explore partnerships with suppliers specializing in cutting-edge tech products.

Offering promotional items that seamlessly integrate into the digital age will undoubtedly appeal to tech-savvy clients.

3. Personalization Beyond the Basics

Personalization has long been a staple in the promotional products industry, but in 2024 the stakes continue to rise as technology becomes ever-more advanced. Customers now seek a deeper level of personal connection, and distributors can deliver by offering highly customized and unique items.

Tailoring promotional products to specific industries, events, or even individual preferences adds a distinctive touch that resonates with recipients.

The advances in decorating technology cannot be understated. The market is characterized by advancements in print head technology, improved ink formulations, and enhanced software capabilities, enabling faster and more efficient production.

According to Global Info Research’s latest study, the global High Speed Dye-Sublimation Printer market was valued at USD $737.3 million in 2022 and is forecast to grow to $1.275 billion by 2029; that’s a compound annual growth rate of 8.1% over the next five years.

As digital printing tech continues to rapidly advance, decorators are able to offer more possibilities than ever before to provide timely and unique solutions.

Investing in advanced printing technologies and partnering with decorators who excel in intricate customization will set distributors apart in the competitive landscape.

The ability to quickly and seamlessly provide personalized, niche products ensures that clients receive promotional items that truly reflect their brand identity.

4. Collaborations and Social Media Integration

In the age of influencers and social media dominance, promotional products are finding new avenues for exposure.

Collaborating with influencers to create custom-branded merchandise can amplify brand reach and engagement.

From Instagram-worthy apparel to limited-edition products endorsed by influencers, the promotional landscape

Additionally, integrating social media elements into promotional products is gaining momentum. QR codes, hashtags, and interactive features on products create a seamless connection between the physical and digital realms.

Distributors should explore partnerships with influencers and decorators capable of translating online trends into tangible, shareable promotional items.

5. Wellness and Self-Care Products

The events of the past few years have heightened awareness around health and wellness.

As individuals and corporations prioritize self-care, promotional products that align with this trend will remain popular. Items like branded fitness gear, wellness journals, and aromatherapy products are finding a place in promotional campaigns.

Distributors should consider expanding their offerings to include wellness-focused products that cater to both physical and mental well-being.

Aligning promotional efforts with the current emphasis on health sends a positive message and positions brands as advocates for holistic lifestyles.

6. Inclusive and Diverse Messaging

Diversity and inclusion have become integral aspects of modern branding. Businesses are embracing inclusive messaging, and promotional items that celebrate diversity are resonating with a broader audience.

Distributors should seek to curate a range of products that convey inclusive messaging.

2024 promises to be an exciting year for the promotional products industry. Distributors and decorators who embrace trends and adapt their strategies accordingly will set the stage for success in our dynamic and evolving marketplace.

and apparel industry actually works.

Globalization and the demands for fast fashion have morphed the global supply chains into hyper-efficient machines capable of delivering finished products quickly to brands.

As a result of many factors including the digitization of commerce, improved logistics and changing sourcing patterns, the industry has evolved and now features pre-produced inventories of input materials (fibre, yarns, undyed fabrics) all along the supply chain that are ready to ship at a moment’s notice.

These inventories are manufactured and held with no connection to any specific brand orders, but rather a hope that orders will eventually come.

Here is what that looks like (see flow chart below): The challenge lies in the fundamental fact that almost all fibre and yarns, and many of the world’s best-selling greige (undyed) fabrics are produced with no connection to a specific brand request.

Initiated under the Donald Trump administration in the form of Withhold and Release Orders (WRO’s) targeting cotton coming from a specific region of China, and later passed into law under the Joe Biden administration, the Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act (UFLPA) is very real and one of the most important issues facing brands and retailers doing business in the world’s largest market.

As shown in the blue It helps to have a little perspective of how the global textile box in the diagram, those production steps are only made after

the brand has placed a purchase order.

So going back to the question of “where do you start?”

If you are the CEO in the original example - because you are looking for this information ‘after the fact’ - you likely don’t have a choice but to ask each layer in the supply chain to: • divulge their sources for the materials they consumed to make your products, • share their commercial invoices and shipping documents and • hope that your business is important enough to each of these companies for them to share this information with you.

So really, ”where do you start?”

I can honestly say that, with more than 35 years of total industry experience, and having spent the last three years consulting with the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol building their traceability solution, I would NOT want to have to find all this information out ‘after the fact’.

My suggestion for all brands and retailBrand ers is to pre-emptively join a program like • Places purchase order the Trust Protocol that is delivering a solu• Receive shipment tion that provides its members with complete fibre-forward supply chain traceability data.

Every shipment tracked in the system allows the brand to see each company involved across the full value chain, and to fast-track the process of getting all the required information if ever you face a need by any regulatory body to prove where your products came from and what went into them.

How to Create Relatable Content & Better Digital Engagement

By Lisa Apolinski, CMC Here’s an astounding fact: according to Siteefy, in 2021, 1.5 quintillion bytes of content were created every day. That number jumped 25 per cent in 2022, and is expected to more than double by 2025.

With so much content being added daily, many organizations wonder how they can create content that can stand out from this endless digital sea and not only be read, but have strong engagement.

The key to rising above this digital noise is to create content that is relatable. Having relatable content equates to having content the prospects can see as applying to them, which means they will remember the content, share the content, and act on the content’s message.

Here are key steps in creating content that is relatable and will lead to better digital engagement.

using the extensive knowledge and state-of-the-art decorating techniques from our well-trained staff.”

This sentence focuses the purpose for the customer journey versus the company’s services.

Step 2: Identify the How

The next step is to identify how an organization can help customers or prospects go from where they are now to where they want to go.

This involves understanding what success would look like for the customer or prospect, and how the solution provided by the organization helps the customer or prospect get to that success point. This is not selling – this is solving.

Step 1: Articulate the Why:

In order to start to relate to the content and brand story, customers and prospects need to hear the brand purpose – the why an organization exists.

This goes beyond products and services; how an organization articulates the “why” is key. This encompasses what an organization is known for.

Is the organization hoping to impact a community or underserved group? Is the organization hoping to share knowledge so customers can make the best possible decisions? Is the organization wanting to share tools that allow clients to have less stress and more success?

A good rule is completing this sentence: At XYZ organization, customers will [add action phrase] by using [add tool or knowledge to achieve action phrase].

As an example, as a company in the promotional products industry, the company could state: “At Bob’s One Stop Promo Shop, clients can choose from the widest selection of promotional products that fit your campaign and budget by

Creating content that is relevant, in its core, is to make the customer experience the center of that communication.

Having relatable, engaging content involves identifying how an organization can help customers or prospects go from where they are now to where they want to go.

By identifying how the organization can assist in the success of the prospect, the communication and content can share that, thus helping the audience make the connection from roadblock to success.

In the above example, by leveraging the extensive knowledge of staff, coupled with a wide selection of products and the latest decorating techniques, customers are able to pick and choose the right products for their campaign and budget.

Step 3: Share the What

Sharing the “what” involves sharing stories that highlight these areas and help the audience see themselves in the story.

The story paints a picture of what the new possibility for success looks like. By using an organization’s products and services, what can be achieved by the audience? What types of success can the audience achieve with the help of the

16 IMPRINT CANADA | January/February 2024

Having relatable content equates to having content the prospects can see as applying to them, which means they will remember the content, share the content, and act on the content’s message. organization and the service offering?

Storytelling puts the focus again on the customer and the end goal of the customer’s journey. The organization is in the background as mentor, providing the guidance, tools and knowledge to help the customer find success.

These stories share a testimonial of a prior client’s engagement, which gives the audience a person that is relevant to their situation and has a scenario that is relatable to their current set of circumstances.

That new possibility for the audience is shared in a parable and paints a new future where the roadblock is removed and the customer can achieve success. Again, the focus is on the customer and their journey, not on the organization and the products and services that they offer.

In all of these steps, the focus is consistently on the customer; why the brand focus is relevant to the customer, how the products and services help the customer achieve the goals they have outlined, and what the new future would look like for the customer with assistance from the organization (in the form of knowledge and tools).

Creating content that is relevant, in its core, is to make the customer experience the centre of that communication.

And by focusing on the customer, great digital engagement will be the result.

Fix It Before It’s Broken

Leveraging a Forward-Resolve Approach for Better Customer Service

By Kate Zabriskie

While a fix-it-the-first-time approach may be the gold standard of customer service, addressing potential issues before they materialize is the true mark of an exemplary user experience.

Consider the pace of our modern world; customers today want instant solutions, and any hurdle might be a reason for them to jump ship to competitors. By ensuring their path is clear from potential obstructions before your customers encounter them, you can retain customers and create advocates for your brand.

Let’s look at a few examples of forward-resolving in action.

Scenario: A customer signs up for a new broadband connection.

Forward-Resolving: The service provider sends an email with tips for optimal modem placement, a list of helpline numbers, and information on how to upgrade or modify the plan in the future.

Scenario: A customer books several rooms for a group event at a hotel.

Forward-Resolving: The reservation agent proactively reaches out to the customer, offering services tailored for groups, such as distributing welcome gift bags, arranging group transportation, setting up a special check-in desk, or organizing group tours.

Scenario: A user signs up for a new software application or platform.

Forward-Resolving: The company sends tutorial videos and starter guides to ensure users can efficiently use and navigate the software from the start.

As those examples illustrate, strong forward-resolving skills differentiate great from good providers. Organizations that get this right realize multiple benefits: 1. A Better User Experience – Whether it’s high-functioning internet, a great event, or software with a condensed learning curve, organizations that forward-resolve deliver a better experience than those that don’t.

2. Enhanced Customer Trust – Organizations that deliver smooth experiences build trust with those who use their services.

3. Positive Reputation – People who experience great service tell others. Over time, those experiences form a reputation.

4. Operational Efficiency – When problems or challenges don’t have a chance to materialize, call volumes decrease, freeing customer service providers to focus on other tasks.

Adopting a Forward-Resolving Approach

How does an organization move toward this way of operating?

To forward-resolve, service providers must know their business and think critically about what comes next for the customer. The following 10 ideas suggest actions for getting started and the impact those activities can have.

8. Stay Updated with Industry Trends

1. Encourage Curiosity

Action: Encourage teams to keep abreast of industry news, emerging technologies, and competitor offerings.

Impact: Understanding the broader market helps fend off obsolescence.

2. Develop Empathy

Action: Recognize and reward team members who showcase an anticipatory mindset by spotting potential challenges or suggesting proactive solutions.

Impact: Positive reinforcement encourages more forwardthinking behaviour among the team.

3. Start Scenario Planning

Action: After implementing a proactive solution, review its impact. Understand what worked and what didn’t.

Impact: Continuous learning refines the anticipatory mindset, making it more accurate over time.

Action: Cultivate a culture where team members constantly ask questions about processes, products, and customer interactions.

Impact: A questioning mind is more likely to spot potential challenges or areas of improvement.

Action: Encourage team members to regularly place themselves in their customers’ shoes.

Impact: An empathetic approach allows one to predict customer pain points and address them preemptively.

Action: Conduct regular brainstorming sessions where teams discuss potential “what if ” scenarios.

Impact: Imagining possible future situations helps teams prepare for them, fostering an anticipatory approach.

4. Empower Employees

Action: Give team members the autonomy to make decisions, take initiative, and offer solutions.

Impact: Empowered employees feel a stronger sense of ownership, pushing them to think ahead and act proactively.

5. Invest in Training

Action: Regularly train your team on the latest products, services, and customer feedback.

Impact: A well-informed team can better anticipate potential questions or customer issues.

6. Use Data Analytics

Action: Leverage data analytics to study customer behavior, feedback, and purchasing patterns.

Impact: Recognizing patterns can help anticipate recurrent issues or predict future customer needs.

7. Feedback Loops

Action: Create mechanisms where team members can share their insights and observations from customer interactions.

18 IMPRINT CANADA | January/February 2024

Impact: Collective knowledge makes teams more alert to potential problems or needs.

9. Celebrate Proactive Behaviour

10. Iterate and Learn

Forward-resolving is not a static process. It requires constant innovation. The methods and strategies used today might become obsolete tomorrow. Organizations should integrate it into every department, not just customer service, to cultivate a forward-resolving culture.

Product development, marketing, and sales — every team should have an anticipatory mindset. When the entire organization operates with this proactive approach, it becomes a seamless, efficient machine geared toward optimal customer satisfaction.

Forward-resolving is not just a strategy; it’s a philosophy.

It’s a commitment to ensuring a customer’s smooth, enjoyable, and hassle-free journey.

In the long run, businesses that adopt and perfect this approach are the ones that stand out, thrive, and lead in their respective industries.
