Who are your customers?
We often work with schools, churches, nonprofits, small businesses, sports teams, clubs and organizations, as well as families and individuals.
What is your business philosophy?
If you have fun at what you do, it is never work. We bring people’s ideas and brands to life, one T-shirt at a time, while being a part of a great community.
How has your experience working in sales helped your franchise business?
Working in sales has strengthened our ability to understand how to help others and work well with customers. We are committed to exceeding our clients’ expectations, and giving each person who walks through our door a memorable experience.
We have the honor of helping design shirts for special occasions, and want our clients to know how much we value their trust in us with their stories, their celebrations and their causes.
What was your biggest concern or fear when you opened the business? How did you overcome it?
Leaving corporate America to sell T-shirts was terrifying, yet so exciting. Walking away from great careers for the unknown might seem crazy, but we recognized a need for custom apparel decorating, and we made the jump. The response to the business has been so positive that we knew even before we opened the door that we’d made the right decision.
What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas?
The hardest part is having our poor guy who dresses up in the Big Frogger costume work in 110-degree heat.
What is the best part about doing business here?
It’s Vegas; what’s not to love? We have beautiful weather, a close community and an activity-driven lifestyle that creates the perfect environment for this type of business. Our neighbors are loyal to locally owned businesses that provide great service.
What have you learned from the recession?
The recession taught us, and probably the country in general, to be wise with investments and money. The beautiful thing about the United States is that we are a resilient group, and we don’t stay knocked down for long.
