So you want to Start a Bowling Team…

You and your friends have decided you want to start a bowling  team. It sounds good over a couple of beers but once the light of day dawns you realize you might not exactly know how to go about doing it.

Here is the National Embroidery quick and easy way to get your team out on those lanes and winning trophies.

First you need a cool team name: “Changing Lanes”, “Framed Out”, “Pin Heads”, or “Livin’ On a Spare” work well. Brainstorm with the team to come up with something unique to you.

Second you will need to pick out a cool graphic for the back of your shirts. Something  retro is always classy.

Third comes the hard part. Well, not really because we have just the bowling shirt for you. The hard part is picking out the team color. There is  a nice variety to choose from.

And don’t forget once you have your shirts and your team is out and about looking spiffy, we have trophies for those team mates who are the “Most Improved”, “Most Enthusiastic”, or “Most Gutter Balls”.

Uniforms have changed over the years but the care and dedication found in these individuals has not. In recognition of these professionals we are offering a 10% discount on all scrubs and lab coats  purchased through our web site now through May 12th.

Make the uniform even more special by adding a monogram, logo, or favorite quote to your purchase. We don’t mind doing only one piece!

Brand Yourself!

Marketing and Branding. Key words in the business world. Expensive key words. When you are a small business owner you  feel this pain even more because most of the time there is little to no budget for it. What is a small business owner to do? Time to get creative.

Golf Bag

Look around for things you already own that you may be able to get your business name imprinted on. This makes the item unique, professional looking, and a great conversation starter. You never know..your next client may be standing next to you at the club house.

We welcome one off items. Stop in and lets get creative together.
