Acorn introduced the Uneek range of clothing to our customers just over a year ago. The range has been a fantastic success with the Uneek brand offering really great value for money, style and wear. The products that we have been supplying have had excellent feed back from everyone.
We always test the sample products before we launch them so we get an idea of how they wear and also be confident that our customers will get a product that will wear and wash well.

It is no surprise then that we now extend the Uneek range and the first new product is the UC104 Ultimate Pique polo shirt. This polo is 100% ring spun  cotton so firstly you get a great soft feel. The weight at 250 gms is golf quality and the styling ticks all the boxes.

A really great product at a very keen price ideal uses, golf societies, corporate executive leisure wear, As a company gift, the quality will impress.

It is not important if you are a one man band or a large corporation marketing is the key to success. It is very easy when times get tough to cut back the budgets and the first is in most cases the marketing budget. Wrong ! Those that are proactive in difficult trading conditions are the ones that come through the storm.  Marketing and advertising can be relatively low cost. Your workforce can be your billboard as well as having the corporate ID.

In addition to Acorn’s a wide range of personalised workwear and corporate clothing, the sign division is very busy suppling banners, pavement signs and exhibition displays.

There are many white van driving around that could be used as valuable advertising space for your company. If you are a builder,plumber or an electrician working at some one’s premises then put a Pavement sign outside and let people know who’s doing the job.

Corporate ID and marketing works.

It has been reported in a recent trade magazine that McDonald’s is to roll out a new staff uniform designed by no less than Bruce Oldfield. The new designer uniform will hit the high streets during the summer to all 1,200 restaurants through out the UK. The bit that caught my eye is the 67,000 staff. Wow that is a lot of uniforms !

So next time your thinking of updating for Company business wear just be thankful you haven’t got to kit out 67,000 people.

Acorn have printed and supplied several thousand Obama t shirts for the European Market. Acorn worked with the American owned UK based Company World Post Services to produce a full colour process design that would be sold through out Europe. Once the trials were completed the artwork and positives were then supplied to the Amercian T shirt printer chosen by WPS who are printing them for the US market.
The  full colour design was reproduced and prepared by Acorn’s own art department. To buy a tshirt supporting Obama visit http://www.ihaveaobamadream.com/
