Hi Debbie...I'll post this through the freelist
for newcomers that are wondering also...you can also
go back to our Amaya chat board and search the 'archives'
for more info.
UPIC is a non-profit, no-charge service to businesses that
'resell' decorating, enhanced, printed, embroidered products-
anything that has 'value added' by way of a company logo, etc.
It is totally FREE and to sign up go to www.upic.org
very simple to join-just prove you are a 'business', not a company
trying to get around a sales rep...(they ask for fax copies of invoices
from your suppliers-like Sanmar, Broder, Melco, etc. to prove you
buy 'wholesale') if you have any problems doing it on line-just give
them a phone call and they will be glad to help you out. Works
everytime. Then be ready-you will start getting email flyers from dozens
of ad specialty companies every day, and there is a service one a year
I think for $90 or $95- that puts your business name and address in the
mailing list for several thousand suppliers...so in January your mail
box
starts filling up. This is where you can compile a listing of
anything your
client can think of with their name on it...we created our own computer
database with basic info on every catalog that comes in-so I can look up
whatever is needed and go to the right catalog. today I have to find
custom ceramic coffee mugs with a 'barber pole' for a handle for one
new account.
Ad specialties can add several thousand dollars a year to your profit
line
with little or no work. Since you already have your clients logo for
embroidery,
a simple graphic program might be all you need to generate the artwork
to send in an order. And the big secret...DO NOT EVER SEND IN AN ORDER
WITHOUT AT LEAST 50% DEPOSIT FROM THE CLIENT!
YOU are the one on the hook if they get the goods and don't pay. I
also never
have goods sent to the client if they are within driving distance-I
have it sent
to me-so I can double check for quality, AND get the customer in my
office (or
I go to theirs) for face to face delivery and to get the balance due
and possible
another order!
Another trick-if they aren't an embroidery client already but use you
for ad specialty
items-embrodier their logo AND yours on an inexpensive but good
totebag (Sanmar
has all kinds) or 'emergency stadium blanket' for a couple bucks-and
deliver their
order IN the bag for free. 75% of the time I get an order for the
bags or blankets!
More info later if you need it...

Hey Roland, how goes it!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna be stupid here and
ask...what is the UPIC #? Would you need to order a great deal to
get a good price? And last but certainly not least? Do they have
sample pix on their web site?
THANKS!! Good hearing from you...hope you are feeling better!!

I have several companies, price depends on the
quantity and 'quality' (gold embossing, raised lettering, compared
to basic printing for example) if you are interested. And if you have
a UPIC number already, you can order all you want as 'dealer promo
item' and get it below normal wholesale cost...
let me know if you (or anyone else) is interested and I can post
the contact info for a couple here. By dealing direct on your own,
you will save a ton of money AND open up a new area for making
a couple bucks off your existing customer base.

Anyone out there have a good company for purchasing Christmas

costly manner?

I've been using Floriani's Perfect Stick for a while now with my
FastFrames. Sewing through it feels like fabric, and it doesn't
gum up the needles. Another fairly new one is Inspira's tacky
stick (I'm not sure if that's what it's called -- Inspira is being
sold through Viking (and Pfaff?) dealers.
