Ease and Convenience of Acquiring Corporate Clothing Online
These days, one can shop for, and purchase, almost anything online. Without leaving your home or office, it’s possible to buy motor vehicles, groceries and food, footwear, reading matter, over-the-counter medications, toiletries, custom made engagement rings and other pieces of jewellery, furniture, appliances, fresh produce, socks, accessories and most types of clothing for all types of occasions.
Win-Win Solution for All
Unlike yesteryear, online acquisitions are fast becoming the norm, if they are not so already. Regardless, transacting online certainly isn’t any longer an exceptional event. To satisfy the demands for this now often preferred method of making quick, easy and very convenient purchases, certain outlets or organisations only offer online shopping, which is actually a win-win solution for all parties concerned.
Exclusively Online Corporate Clothing
XCO Group is one such entity. We’re a leader in our field, as well as in listing and promoting our entire, extensive corporate product range in clearly illustrated, informative online catalogues. Our corporate clothing collections are core components of our successful, expanding enterprise, which started out as a single sporting goods and sportswear retail outlet in Pretoria, way back in 1987.
Celebrating 30 Years’ Online Capability
At that time in South Africa, connection to the Internet was still a few years away. This momentous event, the country’s “first Internet protocol connection”, only took place on 12 November 1991 – now 30 years ago. South African corporate concerns, customers, and today’s technology gurus have come a very long way since then, thanks to the Internet and its incredible online capabilities.
Online Corporate Clothing Across African Borders
At XCO, we now serve clients and provide for their branded corporate clothing, as well as other corporate requirements, quickly and efficiently online, right across this country and much of the African Continent. We’ve also established a footprint in certain other neighbouring countries. If the corporate clothing and/or branding need exists, Internet technology equips us to assist within the shortest possible lead time.
Without online technology, the process would be lengthy, somewhat laborious and cumbersome, and contrary to the ease, speed and accuracy that prevails throughout our innovative online solutions. From easy, straightforward selection, placement of orders, clear communication and accurate corporate branding, to competent completion – ultimate customer satisfaction is always our goal.
Branded Clothing
Without bearing a brand, company insignia or logo, there’s very little to distinguish one unadorned garment from the next. Branding transforms items into corporate products and, in the case of clothing, branding identifies the person wearing the garment as a representative or member of the organisation and its team/s.
Branding of workwear and workwear itself, supplied by the employer, is invaluable for a number of reasons:
· Personnel can be identified as such immediately, at a glance, making it easy for customers who require assistance to find someone from the company who can help them,
· Promotes customer trust,
· Ensures that all personnel are dressed for work neatly and appropriately, eliminating the possibility that inappropriate attire inadvertently creates an unfavourable impression of the organisation,
· Enhances corporate identity and culture,
· Fosters cohesion and team spirit; employees identify with the company and what it represents in terms of ethos, values and goals,
· Boosts staff members’ self-confidence, knowing that they are properly and professionally attired,
· Saves employees money, as well as time and trouble each morning, when wondering about what to wear to work,
· Offers an additional, highly visible, mobile marketing, advertising and brand building opportunity, without incurring continuous extra costs, and
· Creates an atmosphere of equality, regardless of position, income and status in the workplace.
Branding Methods
Your logo is obviously a totally customised feature, which incorporates numerous important aspects, such as colour, tone, half-tones, size, fabric or textile, the fabric’s ability to stretch, its texture, the background colour as it pertains to logo colours, and a great deal more. Branding methods include,
· Screen printing
· Sublimation printing
· Digital printing
· Embroidery
Branding, particularly as it pertains to corporate clothing, may appear to be fairly simple, but it is actually a complex, technical process, best left to the experts, like XCO Group’s branding division, which is wholly owned and operated by XCO’s trained and experienced staff members.
XCO Group also offers a collection of “Brand in a Box” options, which may be acquired online, with or without your top quality, unmatched selection of tasteful corporate clothing.
