Here’s a simple roadmap for all uniform and garment retailers that will make your business better in just 5 SIMPLE STEPS!

Step 1 - Analyze and organize your customers’ requirements

Before you go out looking for a uniform manufacturer, it is really important that you understand and organize your requirements. Segregate your needs into categories of uniforms and garments. Understand what your customers need in terms of fabrics, colours, patterns and more. List down all your uniform and garment needs, identify the quantities and make sure you know what you’re looking for.

Step 2 - Get in touch with a trusted manufacturer

Manufacturers are growing in number and everyone is promising to meet your needs. But who is trustworthy and who isn’t is where most retailers get stuck. So before you choose a manufacturer that you can trust, make sure you conduct a little research on the industrial background. Ask yourself some questions pertaining to the quality, reliability, delivery, etc. before you choose your uniform and garment manufacturer.

Step 3 - Plan a visit to the manufacturing unit and book your appointment with the manufacturer

Never fix on a manufacturer without doing your research and checks. Closing a deal quickly may seem to be the right thing when you need urgent deliveries or if you are offered low costs. However, choose NOT to choose a manufacturer until you have visited them, taken a brief look at their work and have had a satisfactory meeting with the manufacturer or the entrusted team. Besides, make it a point to ensure that all the communication before and after the delivery of the products will be smooth. Basically, make sure you pay a visit to the manufacturer before paying him for the orders!

Step 4 - Plan a visit to the manufacturing unit and book your appointment with the manufacturer

Like we mentioned in the first step, it is very essential to analyze and organize your customers’ requirements. However, that’s just the half part of this journey. The other important half is to study catalogues of varieties that the manufacturers have to offer, choose and communicate your requirements in detail. Make sure that the manufacturer is well-versed with your needs in all ways. From fabric, colour, quality and fit to the estimated time that will be required to deliver the entire order- ensure that all of it is in place.

Step 5 - Close your deal and stay relaxed!

After you’ve followed all the steps mentioned above and feel satisfied about your pick, go ahead and close the deal with your manufacturer!
