2.9 - Why make orders samples?

Ordering samples, or "hand-ordering" as we call it, has a multitude of benefits that many salespeople may not realize at first glance.

But it's an essential step:

- To control the quality of the product itself

👕 When it comes to textiles, it's important that you actually hold the item in your hands, so you can feel the material and discover the cut and finish. It's also necessary to see the colors proposed on the T-shirts and sweatshirts "in real life", as there's always a discrepancy between the mockup of the product seen on the screen and the real product.

Then, for our "posters" section, it's essential to touch the paper and check that the finish, matte or satin, suits you and meets your quality criteria.

Finally, for items such as mugs or water bottles, it's essential to know the size and finish, so you can show them off to best advantage in your store.

- To check how your design will look in print

🔍 It's a good idea to check whether the final product is suitable for you before sending it to your customers, using several criteria, such as the "hand" (feel) of the printed area on the textile, the rendering of colors compared to the initial file, the contrast of colors, whether or not the lines are thick enough, and the dimensions of the visual.

We use various printing techniques (DTG-DTF-Sublimation), each of which has its own technical constraints to be aware of in order to obtain the best final result. In fact, you'll find on each product sheet in our catalog the printing technique used to print it and the constraints associated with it.

- To test the unpacking experience

📦 You probably already know that we select the top 100% eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging, but it's always best to check for yourself whether it meets your expectations and those of your customers.

So if you want to show your customers a preview of the packaging for one of your orders products, all you have to do is take a small photo or video of your sample order, and that's it!

- For high-impact marketing operations

💥 Ordering samples can be a real lever for boosting your marketing strategy and meaningfully engaging with your audience.

Indeed, one of the most interesting applications of this approach is the organization of contests, commonly known as "giveaways", on your social networking platforms. This type of initiative not only stimulates interest in and visibility of your brand; it also creates a valuable opportunity to build an active, engaged community around your products.

- For customized product sheets

📸 You don't need to be a photography expert to showcase your products. All you need is a good-quality camera or a high-performance smartphone. To bring your items to life, why not involve your friends as models, or even strike a pose yourself?

Your audience will appreciate seeing that you interact directly with your products, whether by holding them in your hand or wearing them.

What's more, the visual appeal of your products is greatly enhanced when presented by models. This gives colors a more faithful rendering, ensuring that your customers are not confronted with a marked difference between the real product and the prototype displayed on your site.
