subject: New Revolutionary Means For Promoting Embroidered Patches Found By Uk Business Owner [print this page] A new technique for promoting embroidered patches has been discovered by a British business person; this was featured in the London Evening Standard a few weeks ago and it showed how she was saving damaged clothes while showing off her patches at the same time. It was a pair of tights with a hole in them, that started it all off; the lady discovered that her daughter's tights had been eaten by moths when she found a small hole in them. Since they were extremely valuable to her, both financially and personally, she decided they were worth saving. The woman knew that she risked ruining the tights if she tried to sew them so she thought it would be better to apply an iron-on embroidered patch over the hole instead.
Once she was finished, she soon saw that her idea could be used to preserve clothing that did not need a number of repair. She soon started to promote embroidered patches and sod them to retail and individual customers. Her idea was soon followed by a businesswoman who was looking for something to repair her woolens. Needless to say the idea has caught on in the uk like wildfire. People are now buying embroidered patches as much for their repair capabilities as for the beauty of the designs themselves.
They Won't Work for Major Repairs
Of course, you can't use the embroidered patch for any major repairs. Although the embroidered patch is great for all who have small holes, unsightly stains or burn marks on clothes. Most embroidered patches nowadays don't even have to be sewn on to clothes because most come with a heat activated glue on the back which means they can be sewn on to almost any material aside from leather or vinyl.
This way of promoting patches has already proved to be successful in great britain so it would be a great idea for American patch sellers to jump on the bandwagon. Purchasing wholesale patches in larger numbers and then making up packs of five or six different patches and selling them on as clothes repair items would be a great idea. Coming up with sets for different groups similar to children or those in the military would be a wonderful opportunity for you to sell more of your patches.
There's Still Room for Decoration
An interesting twist to come out of this is the fact that a lot more people in these modern times are choosing to use embroidered patches for design purposes. A substantial amount of clothing designers are encouraging people to acquire iron-on patches in order to customize their apparel. The clothes doesn't have to be damaged; people are just choosing to make their pieces of apparel more individual with the use of patches.
These articles gives people a real sense of individuality and ensures that they are wearing unique apparel. And with the thousands of embroidered patches out there, there's virtually no limit to what designers can produce.
