First and foremost, getting custom t-shirts for your lawn care employees presents a professionalism about your company. When residents of a neighborhood are driving by a crew doing some landscaping, having the workers in a cohesive look could draw you some more business. And that’s what it’s all about, right? But how do you decide on what the best overall scenario is when ordering your shirts? Let’s maximize that expense.
The Working Conditions:
Working on lawns is very physical, very laborious. Riding mowers have certainly taken a lot of the sting out of latter-day manual push mowers, no doubt. Still, as you know, other crew members are employing trimmers, edgers, saws, and other equipment that isn’t all that easy to handle.
Add to that, landscape technicians often work in brutally hot conditions. While they are generally in really good shape from physical outdoor work, being battered by an oppressive, hot sun still isn’t any fun. That’s why cool, thin, breathable cotton t-shirts for your company employees is a prime choice. Cotton is comfortable, yet also has great durability. The ability for this fabric of custom t-shirts to last takes a burden off you. Now, you’re not having to worry about constantly buying more shirts. Purchasing light cotton for your employees also lets them know you’ve taken their well-being into consideration. Any caring sign a business owner can deliver to its staff can go a long way.
The Working Conditions, Part 2:
Water is wet. The earth is round. Grass is green. No kidding. With all that grass flying around while the job is being performed, much of it will get on your employees’ clothes. It would seem a no-brainer to go with green t-shirts for your company. The darker the better. If you elect to go with a lighter shade of green, the darker grass that gets onto the custom shirts is still noticeable. A client, or potential clients your workers could be seen by, may think of your staff, your brand as unkempt. It may rub some the wrong way, and that could lead to missed opportunities to grow your business. Green is also associated with the earth, so if some dirt positions itself on your printed t-shirts, it will still give off an earthy feel, so you won’t have any issues appearing as a dirty, sloppy-looking company.
The Customer:
We make the smooth transition from not looking dirty or sloppy to the customer. A nice, dark green uniformed t-shirt worn by all employees on site is important for your relationship with the customer.
- It displays a professional look. It shows you’re are a company with a legit staff, not a company with a rag-tag, thrown-together set of day workers.
- There will be times during the job that staff will need to interact with the customer. What do you think makes you look more like an industry expert: nice, custom company t-shirts, or random ones of which might read, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?”
- Your team does a bang-up job, while looking professional doing it. It just might be the little extra that has that customer refer you to neighbors, friends, and family…aka, more biz for you.
Your Logo on a Dark Green Shirt:
Have you decided to go with dark green custom t-shirts for your lawn care techs? If so, here’s a little more help. What should the text color be in your logo that goes well with green and really draws eyeballs? Here’s an answer. White. Does this success story look familiar?
That little “unknown” coffee shop has more than 24,000 locations across the globe and is worth $30 billion. Make no mistake, the colors in the logo didn’t happen by accident. Yes, the product and its grown prestige have far more to do with Starbucks’ level of achievement. But understand the power of a shirt, logo, and color scheme.
Wrapping Up:
Ordering custom t-shirts for your business, specifically green in color, can do a whole lot for your landscape company. They send a message to your staff that you’re thinking of their best interest regarding their working conditions. Printed t-shirts in dark green coloring can help hide the grass and dirt that will absolutely attach themselves to garments. Custom shirts will show clients you’re a professional company, one that knows that appearance of their lawn starts with appearance of your workers. Printed shirts with a color combination suggested above evoke imagery that’s successful. It could rub off on both employees and anyone who might interact with them. Whether your slogan is, “Always on the Cutting Edge” or, “Mowing Down the Competition,” a few bucks towards shirts can get your staff looking sharper…and cutting sharper.
