T

he US presidential campaign is kicking into high gear this spring; the US will also elect 33 senators, 435 congressional representatives, 14 governors and thousands of state and local officials. Here in Canada, 2012 will see thousands of officials elected in cities, towns, villages, and hamlets from coast to coast and to the North Pole; Alberta and Quebec will likely see provincial elections as well.

Those thousands of candidates and their party workers along with tens of thousands of campaign officials, activists, and volunteers represent an audience hungry for shirts of all kinds, caps, bags, posters, buttons, badges, and bumper strips, among other graphics products.

Virtually every campaign – from premierships to dogcatcherships are prospects for our industry. And indeed, there’s gold in them thar campaigns! But as with mining any natural resource, there are risks associated with the opportunities and lots of people in our industry will get burned.

Campaign committees are temporal vessels that begin for a reason and end for a reason.

Convincing, Influencing, Competing I still can recall the moment when I first applied for a job out of university. The campus bulletin board ad asked two questions: "Do you like sports?" "Do you like sales?" My answer in my head was a resounding yes to the first one as I was the type that would pull over on the side of the road to watch kids play soccer.

My answer to the second one was less certain as I was under the impression back then that all sales people were like Herb Tarlek of WKRP in Cincinnati, walking around in loud sport coats and pants with a white belt and white shoes clicking their cheeks, singing "woa-kay-fine."

Some 28 years later, I have come to understand that the word "sales" has suffered from a bad image. I realized that sports and sales shared a lot in common; the commonly used term in sales is "win/win," and it brings a competitive spirit into play with business.

In sports, players, teams, coaches all have goals in mind, as well as the skill set to achieve those goals. When the spotlight is on them, they put on their game-face and go after these goals to the best of their abilities.

Have a product to sell or a service to provide? A goal in mind? Skill sets to get the job done? When you lose, you pick yourself up and reflect on things gone wrong, you make adjustments and ready yourself for the next outing.

When you lose that sale, you reflect and make adjustments to prepare for the next prospect.

In sports, if a team continually loses, managers look to shuffle players around to change the dynamics to invigorate new plans of attacks. Same goes in business; if things are not going the way you want, you look to change things up.

I can go on and on with metaphors but I think you get the picture. Those two posted questions that day were one in the same. I just didn't know it back then.

Three people walked into our office a few days ago each canvassing door-to-door. The first one was so loud in announcing his arrival that it actually disrupted a meeting going on. He was asked to leave three times before he finally left, whistling on his way out the door. The second canvasser walked in, excused his presence, left a contact sheet of his products, and walked out the door - all within 15 seconds. The third person walked in smiling, and made our office administrator feel comfortable with a few pleasantries, and ended up sellTM ing me $35 worth of product.

We also briefly chit-chatted for a few minutes on his selling technique before he left.

Guess which one I would want on my team? The third salesperson got the job done (convincing me to buy something I wasn't planning on and making me feel good about it too).

Members who reinforce the “Herb Tarleck” stereotype may not give off a "cool" vibe, but I would be more than happy with having them on my team if they provided win/win results for me and my clients.

Supplier News Gildan Activewear launches new corporate citizenship website Reports First Quarter Results

Gildan Activewear Inc. (TSX: GIL) recently announced the launch of it's new website dedicated to corporate citizenship. Genuinegildan.com is the company's eighth consecutive Corporate Citizenship Report and offers information about its sustainability programs and initiatives which have been developed around Gildan's four core pillars: People's well-being, Environmental Protection, Community Engagement, and Product Sustainability.

Highlights of the site include details regarding the successful reduction of total greenhouse gas emissions and landfill waste by 13 per cent and 28 per cent, respectively, in addition to the completion of a third biomass steam generation system, as well information about Gildan's "I Support...." Program which generously donated much-needed resources to qualified charities such as Homeboy Industries.

For more information, please go online and visit www.genuinegildan.com.

2012 First Quarter Results Gildan reported a net loss of $46.1 million (all figures U.S.) or $0.38 per share on a diluted basis for its first fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2012. This was compared with net earnings of $35.9 million or $0.29 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Gidlan began to manage and report its business as two operating segments which serve different markets and customers. The Printwear business supplies

activewear, fleece and sport shirts to the screenprint market. The Branded Apparel business supplies socks, underwear and activewear to retail customers.

Gildan had projected a loss of approximately $0.40 per share for the first quarter when it initiated its fiscal 2012 sales and earnings guidance on December 1, 2011.

The decline in the results compared to the year prior was due to the impact of higher cotton costs, inventory destocking by U.S. wholesale distributors, the impact of a special distributor inventory devaluation discount in the quarter, and the cost of the manufacturing shutdown in December in order to manage inventory levels.

Net sales in the first quarter amounted to $303.8 million, down 8.3 per cent from $331.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Sales for Printwear amounted to $147.2 million, down 41.1 per cent from fiscal 2011, and sales to retailers were $156.6 million, up 92.7 per cent from the first quarter of last year. International sales revenues included in the Printwear business segment increased by over 30 per cent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Gildan Activewear has reconfirmed its projected sales revenues of approximately $1.9 billion and projected EPS of approximately $1.30 for fiscal 2012.

The company continues to project sales revenues for the Printwear business of approximately $1.3 billion, and sales revenues for the Branded Apparel segment of approximately $0.6 billion.

HanesBrands reports fiscal 2011 results Reports Net Sales of $4.64 Billion

HanesBrands (NYSE: HBI), reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2011.

For fiscal 2011, net sales increased 7 per cent to $4.64 billion versus a year ago (all figures U.S.). Net income was $266.7 million, or $2.69 per diluted share, an increase of 25 percent over 2010.

For the fourth quarter, earnings and sales growth were affected by an unexpected and substantial slowing of orders in December because of retailer inventory management. Net sales in the quarter decreased slightly to $1.15 billion, and earnings per diluted share were $0.41. Hanes also prepaid $200 million of floating-rate notes in the fourth quarter, reducing long-term debt to $1.8 billion.

For 2012, Hanes expects its core categories to deliver solid results despite inflation and expects to generate record free cash flow. The company expects the wholesale category of its Outerwear segment to lose money because of hyper-competitive pricing and reduce EPS by approximately $0.30, resulting in expected 2012 EPS of $2.50 to $2.60.

Net sales in 2012 are expected to increase approximately 2 per cent to 4 per cent, and free cash flow is expected to total between $400 million and $500 million. The challenges of inflation and the Outerwear wholesale category will primarily be first-half issues, and the company expects to return to normalized profitability no later than the second half.

“We achieved record earnings and sales in 2011 with strong performance in several of our categories, including underwear and socks, although we were disappointed with late fourth-quarter softness that yielded results below our expectations,” Hanes chairman and chief executive officer Richard A. Noll said. “For 2012, we expect to get through the challenges of the inflation overhang and Outerwear wholesale issues while we focus on core growth and delivering strong free cash flow that will be used to reduce longterm debt,” added Noll

2012 Outlook The company anticipates sales and profit growth in its Innerwear, International and Direct to Consumer segments, offset by declines in Outerwear, which includes the wholesale category of casualwear and activewear products sold to the screen-print industry that the company sometimes refers to as imagewear.

Maximize Your Golf Season

W

hether you are looking to further engage your business as a facilitator in organizing your clients' golf events, or you're a salesperson who sees golf outings akin to sales calls, there is no shortage of opportunities laying in the rough waiting to be maximized.

Golf is the quintessential activity that marries business and leisure. Every spring, hundreds of events gear up for another busy season on the fairways and greens. From charity fundraisers to corporate tournaments, there is no shortage of golf-related events to target, especially for us in the promotional products industry where suppliers have fine-tuned segments of their extensive collections to be targeted specifically to the business of golf.

BECOME THE REAL "ONE-STOP SHOP" Many decorators and distributors in our industry won't shy away from the claim that they're a "one-stop shop" for all of their clients' promotional needs. While this definition may stand true in the context of actual product sourcing, the truth is the goods we provide take on life of their own long after they are delivered, especially when they are used as part of sponsorship initiatives for events like corporate golf tournaments.

Why stop at simply supplying the product? When your clients come to you with a golf tournament in the works, it's a perfect (and profitable) opportunity to illustrate that you are more than just a goods provider. Take this opportunity to prove to your client that you can be a valuable asset - not only in the sourcing phase - but in the planning and execution of their event.

HELPING YOUR CLIENTS ORGANIZE A SUCCESSFUL GOLF EVENT 1. NEEDS ANALYSIS: In your meeting with your client, be sure to strategically listen to what they need - again, not only from a sourcing standpoint - but from an execution perspective as well.

Ask questions like: Who will be attending the event? How many people? What is the objective of the event? What are the goals of the event? How much support staff do they have?

TIP: If your company is the exclusive promotional supplier to the event, you should make it a point to offer your presence at the event to help things run smoothly with incentives, prizes and giveaways.

Detailed question like, What key metrics will you be look-

ing at to measure the success of your event?, will go a long way in helping to shape their promotional product spend.

2. DESIGN THEME: This is where your creative team's juices get to flow and you can sell your expertise in the area of promotional marketing.

Once you have background information to work with, you can begin brainstorming and shaping the framework for the design and scope of the promotional media that will be part of the event.

The key here is to develop something which ties in seamlessly and reinforces the objective of the event. Don't stop asking questions at this phase; instead, strategically inquire about the how the tournament's concept and focus will be expressed throughout the event.

3. ESTABLISH A BUDGET: Your role in the budgeting process is fundamental as their promotional advisor.

Depending on the size and scope of the event, as well as the guests in attendance, budgets can vary drastically.

If the event is a fundraiser, then chances are some of the products you will be providing will be auctioned off, while others will be used as giveaways and/or as part of gift bags.

Once the budget is outlined, use your creativity and resourcefulness to compile a promotional program that targets all of the criteria established in Steps #1-3.

4. HELP MARKET THE EVENT (to sponsors, potential media outlets, or the public): By volunteering to help generate added attention and exposure for your client's event, you are illustrating first-hand that your value-added services don't stop at simply the products you provide.

After all, you are in the business of promoting, so use this skill set to help further bring attention to your clients' event. (This will not go unnoticed). The creative brief that you outlined in Step #2 will begin to be incorporated here.

5. HELP EXECUTE THE EVENT: If your company is the exclusive promotional supplier to the event, we hinted in Step #1 that you should offer to volunteer your presence during the golf outing. This should be seen a win-win for both you and your client. Your presence will be beneficial not only from the standpoint of expertise - where you can expertly field any questions regarding features and benefits of the products incorporated into the event - but you will

also be given valuable face-time with a whack of potential clients that you know will be receiving the products you've worked so hard to strategically incorporate into the event.

Your company presence will only help to further cement your credibility to your client and their guests. Heck, even if your client deems that your presence is not required, the fact that you were proactive in offering support beyond the delivery of promotional merchandise will only work to your advantage. When future events roll around, you can be sure that your clients will remember how willing you were to provide comprehensive support to their initiatives.

GOLF = SALES CALLS If you're lucky enough to be required to attend corporate golf fundraisers and events as part of your work, then you are probably aware that having four or more uninterrupted hours with your clients outside of a formal business setting is a great way to foster relationships and maybe even close a deal.

Here are some business tips that every business person should heed when attending a corporate golf event:

LEARN THE PROPER ETIQUETTE: Before you even step foot on the course, you need to know the rules. If you're an experienced golfer, then this point may be mute to you, but if you've never played before and have been invited to a client event, then you need to do your homework (and hit the driving range a couple of times).

There's a protocol in golf that includes not talking when someone is hitting, not stepping in the line of a putt, and treating the course with respect. It’s understood in golf that you replace your divots, ball marks, and play by the rules.

The culture of golf is one of honesty and the game itself is a fine test of character. It is easy to cheat, but playing honest builds credibility, integrity and trust - all things which translate over to business.

DROP THE SALES MODE; Though you are eager to make a deal, do not make it obvious. Contrary to popular belief, deals are not typically closed on the golf course, and if you approach each round with that sole intention, you're likely to leave without one and possibly with a ruined relationship as well.

ENCOURAGE DISCUSSION: Encourage your fellow golfers to open up. Learn about their business and golf experiences by asking questions. Is it an existing client? Prospective customer? How much do you really know about their industry, their business, their personality? Most importantly, be sure to relax, have fun and keep things light.

Light & Dark Laser & Inkjet

STAY COMPOSED: Given the nature of the game, everyone is bound to struggle. There are days when golf is going to challenge your patience, and how you react is very revealing of your character. How well you comport yourself over those 18 holes - balancing business and friendship, dealing with competition and success - reveals to others how you behave in a business setting.

STAY DRY: No, we don't mean wearing a moisture-wicking shirt (although it's a good idea to wear the products you sell), but in this case we mean alcohol. Save the rounds for rounds of golf with your buddies. Would you drink at a sales meeting? Obviously not. This is business.

FOLLOW UP: We don't mean on your approach shot,

,PSULQW &DQDGD _ 0DUFK $SULO

but on the interaction with your clients. Don't force your agenda, just allow everything to flow naturally. If you don't have everything wrapped up by the end of the round, no problem. Your first priority is making sure your playing partner has fun. Following up afterward will get you back in front of your customer.

By forming interpersonal relationships with potential partners, you'll also be building foundations of trust and a mutual interest in the game of golf, both of which can build long-lasting relationships that could prove to be personally and professionally rewarding.

Heed these rules and you'll be sure to be growing your business this golf season!

News [Business Development] 7VSP[PJHS 6YKLYZ continued from Page 1

They begin obviously with the desire to get someone elected and end shortly after the votes are counted, win or lose.

Regardless of your political preferences, graphic products' businesspeople who fail to adequately protect themselves from the risks of dealing with political campaign committees do so at their own peril.

Our ranks are regrettably littered with companies that jumped on some politician’s bandwagon, only to get pushed overboard when the bill came due. Big time. Then, again, some of us will be able to make some major bucks on the upcoming elections.

But the winners and losers in our industry vying for political orders this year (and every year) will be determined not by votes, but by the skills and savvy of entrepreneurs who know – or learn – the turf. We’ll get to the biggest challenge – getting paid – later in this article.

Industry veterans generally know the ropes, most of them having learned the hard way in years gone by. Less seasoned producers, especially those who’ve entered the graphics products business in recent years, need to learn a few important lessons. Fast.

I speak from experience here, having been a politician and an elected official in the US, a campaign fundraiser, and a marketing consultant to several candidates of both parties.

(My undergraduate major was, after all, political science). I’ve also personally sold over a million campaign T-shirts in the course of my career, beginning with my first foray in 1976, a retail line of Ronald Reagan apparel.

(I fared a lot better that year than the candidate, himself, did against President Jerry Ford in the Republican primaries, who went on to lose a close one to Democrat nominee Jimmy Carter).

going to and from work, at the mall or the supermarket – will be seen by approximately 200 people in a typical day [Source: Apparel Graphics Institute, LLC].

For an $8 T-shirt that’s worn on ten days during the campaign, the math works out to 4/10 of a cent per exposure. Worn 20 times, it’s 1/5 of a penny, or a cost-per-thousand exposures (CPM) of just $2. Advertising agency execs would acknowledge that the $2 to $4 CPM compares favorably even to television advertising! (Of course, a candidate would have to purchase and distribute thousands or shirts to have the reach of television, but the advertising value of T-shirts is nonetheless quite respectable on a comparative CPM basis).

Posters and bumper strips are seen by millions of prospective voters. While buttons and badges are seen close up, they certainly command attention and evince instant endorsements by the individuals wearing them.

3. Fundraising Selling campaign apparel and promotional materials to supporters among the general public (but uninvolved in the campaign, itself) affords people a reason to make a campaign contribution in the form of giving a $5-10 per-unit profit per T-shirt (or more) and $10-20+ on higher-priced items. For buttons and bumper strips, which sell for at high mark-ups at retail, the margins are huge.

While the sales of campaign shirts, caps, and/or bags might not yield huge profit, the ROI in enhanced visibility and buzz they create can be significant. And a few extra bucks for the campaign is also appreciated.

And adding the sale and distribution of the smaller items to the mix earns yet additional benefits.

What are the key applications of our Whom Should You Approach for products in political campaign?

Orders and When?

Here are the top three uses: 1. Spirit Wear It’s unlikely the candidate, himself or herself, will wear a campaign T-shirt too often, but staff personnel and volunteers will wear decorated apparel very often and with pride – when it’s provided to them at no charge.

Many true believers will also purchase the items, which most campaigns offer to them at or near cost.

Touting who and what you believe in represents one of the most basic uses of apparel graphics: it’s a powerful medium of expression. The magical qualities of our products in campaigns extend to psychologically energizing the people wearing them!

Decorated apparel has proven to be a valuable investment in esprit de corps, providing a morale boost to everyone who wears it and all their co-workers who see it.

2. Advertising Devoted supporters derive not only great pleasure in identifying with a candidate, they want to advertise their affinity for him or her. Wearing a printed T-shirt or sweatshirt outside the home or office – at school,

In selling campaign apparel, the early bird gets the worm. Rather than wait for campaigns to call you – and all your competitors, make the first move. Campaigns have too many other fish to fry to make getting shirts and other campaign paraphernalia a priority just yet, but once you get in the door, you’ll find the reception friendly. After all, you’re a voter, too! And you’ve got a family, lots of friends, relatives, and employees who vote, too. The campaign folks know this and don’t need to be reminded to treat you with respect.

The best person to call isn’t the candidate, unless you know the individual personally or have a friend who can open the door for an introduction. But it won’t get you an order, as you’ll quickly be referred to a staffer.

The probable decision makers you’ll need to contact include the campaign chairperson or the campaign treasurer, and/or whomever is directing efforts aimed at recruiting and supervising volunteers.

Retail Opportunities?

Shirts emblazoned with party symbols do find a small audience, but the pickings are

,PSULQW &DQDGD _ 0DUFK $SULO

slim. Major retailing organizations have little interest, although a handful of specialty retailers might consider taking in small quantities of campaign shirts, often insisting on consignment. There’s usually little demand at retail for campaign garments with candidates’ pictures, caricatures, or slogans. The rare exception to this rule occurs only when a very charismatic candidate is featured, such as shirts for candidate Barack Obama, whose likeness on apparel outsold his opponent John McCain in 2008 at a reported 15-1 ratio.

Getting Paid

Getting paid from some of your regular customers can be challenging enough, but getting paid from political organizations and campaign organizations is a minefield for the uninitiated.

First, let’s draw a distinction between party organizations and campaign organizations.

Parties are ongoing, year-round entities. The dynamics of the major parties are such that while the issues and players are forever in motion, the institutional entities live on.

Campaign committees on the national level live only a few years at best. Selling to a political party is relatively safe, provided all your "t’s" are crossed and your "i’s" dotted. Executing a bona fide purchase order you receive from a political party means you’ll probably get paid, albeit not on time as a general rule, and sometimes subject to renegotiation after the merchandise is delivered. However, taking an order from a party officer or representative on your order form may be an invitation to trouble, as such documents, unaccompanied by party-generated instruments likely won’t hold up in court as a valid claim against a political party. Indeed it may hold water with respect to the person who signed your order form, but suing these individuals, winning judgments against them, and collecting your total receivable are matters of conjecture.

When selling to major political parties, insist on getting an official purchase order or at least a letter confirming the details shown on your order form and you WILL be paid.

But you can also count on being solicited for contributions as long as you choose to do business with the party. If you sell anything to minor party movements, I strongly advise you toughen the terms. The track record of these organizations paying their vendors leaves much to be desired.

Selling to campaign committees is another world altogether. These local-level organizations are strictly short-term affairs with a very narrow, well-defined objective: to get someone elected. They usually endure for less than a year from inception to dissolution.

Just as traditional credit-granting policies mandate financial prudence, granting credit to campaign committees is a b-i-i-i-i-i-g mistake. Too many of us learn the hard way here.

Selling to campaign organizations means getting paid up front. Experienced vendors who supply campaign literature, bumper strips, buttons, posters, and other campaign paraphernalia to committees often insist on prepayment. The most generous terms a few daring folks will extend to committees

Be forewarned: losing candidates whose committees owe money aren't known for insisting all their vendors get paid

is c.o.d. In some circumstances you can consider accepting payment – in advance – via credit card, preferably accompanied by a written personal guarantee of the person making the purchase.

Be forewarned about c.o.d. orders to campaign committees. Chances are you’ve already experienced surprises in this regard from schools, teams, churches, reunion chairpersons, and events promoters who arrived at your shop to pick up their orders and announce, “Uhhh, I forgot your cheque,” “Oh, you need payment on delivery?,” and “Hey, you know we’re good for the money!”

You've heard it all before, right? Expect to hear it some more, but you’ve got to stick to your guns here and not release the goods until you get money. If you relent, plan on getting burned.

Be forewarned, also, that losing candidates whose committees owe money aren’t known for insisting all their vendors get paid.

In some election districts the law mandates that campaign committees and candidates pay for our type of products in advance.

You can guess why these laws, where they exist, were enacted.

Winning candidates are in better shape to pay you, but you might be chasing your money for a while.

Fortunately, while most professional campaign committee officers know the rules and customs of buying campaign stuff, that doesn’t mean they won't try to get easier terms from you. A smooth, successful politician is usually a charmer, whose voice and words inspire trust and confidence. If he or she can get you to loosen up on your terms, you can expect he or she might try to charm you a little more when the bills come due.

Despite the risks and potential downsides, there are great money-making opportunities to be had selling to campaign organizations, as long as go into political sales with your head on straight.

Beyond just getting the business, you’re likely to become better wired to community leaders, business leaders, government officials, and special interest groups.

The long-term dividends from developing such contacts will pay you back for years to come. Especially if your favorite candidatecustomer wins.

Sales of Textiles, Clothing and Footwear Up 2.6% Contrary to widespread decline in wholesale sales across most categories

According to Statistics Canada, January 2012 saw wholesale sales decrease in six of the seven subsectors they categorize. The recent Wholesale Trade Report issued by Statistics Canada highlighted that sales declined 1.0 per cent to $49.0 billion in January from the month prior, largely due to lower sales in the motor vehicles and parts subsector, as well as in the miscellaneous subsector.

A bright spot of the report was in the personal and household goods category which saw wholesale merchant sales of textile, clothing and footwear across Canada increase 2.6% from the same period last year (see chart below).

In this same category, merchant inventories also rose 5.7% over the 12-month same period.

This increase comes at time when January wholesale sales across all economic categories declined the six provinces. Most of the decreases were realized in central and western Canada. In Ontario, an overall decrease of 1.2 per cent across all categories was reported.
