Recommendations?

babyemily

Good morning everyone,

Can anyone recommend a supplier of personalised printed hoodies & tops please? Just want something simple that looks smart but is also warm!!!

Also can anyone recommend a good business mobile contract please as they all seem to vary so much I am very confused.

Many thanks. x

www.zazzle.com for the clothing.

With the mobiles, it's down to personal choice, there are companies I wouldn't go with, Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Three but you may want to use them. Who is your current mobile network? Probably a good idea to go with them although they will require various things from the business.

I was looking for printed sweatshirts, then decided to get embroidered ones instead. These are far better.

I bought mine from Anne Thomas, which are based in Whitley Bay. I live here, but only opted to buy there after getting many good recommendations. They do a delivery service too; give them a ring

Thank you steve1980 x I will have a look at zazzle now. I would never use Orange as I had a terrible time with them a long while ago!! At the moment I have my own mobile with o2, This is a first for me to get a business mobile hence why I am so unsure.

With Mobile plans you need to find out which provides the best reception as that's key as you don't want to have a call cut out when you're trying to say something important....

The other thing you must do is speak to all the business advisors for each company. T Mobile and Orange are the same company now. As for customer service they're all a bit naff but with business you get a different service to personal. We've just changed business plan and we ruled out changing to T-Mobile, Orange or Vodafone as their online plans didn't look great but when we spoke to the advisors we were offered plans that weren't available online and ended up going with T Mobile.

Also work out what you need for your company in terms of minutes/texts, how many handsets you need, what handsets would work best and then call them and see what they say.

Will you also have a landline on which to make the majority of your business calls? I don't need to be out and about on business much so have a virgin liberty sim...you need to buy a phone up front (keep it simple) then for £10 a month you get 200 mins and unlimited texts and the contract only lasts a month so it remains flexible. Unless you need a lot of minutes or will need internet access keep the cost as low as possible just as you would in all aspects of a startup so avoid £35 p/m contracts.

despite repeating myself again lol, I use good old vistaprint!
When the spam mail comes telling me all is free or half price, the white polos work out at about £6.50 embroidered, I have black ones so slightly more (9.50 and obviously delivery on top, but I order shed loads of leaflets and cards free at the same time!), and i have to say they have washed and worn and washed and worn... literally rinse & repeat - 6 months on, still look as new as the day we got them, even the black ones! (I boil the white ones as I wear them in kitchen, and again, good as new!) Have yet to try the hoodies, as I will only get them for winter staff.
If you register with them, and buy nothing, within a few days the spam mail will start offering you the world for free! Thats when you order!

Phone wise, I don't have a specific business plan, I have an additional phone with Virgin which is on contract, I pay around £35 a month and get unlimited internet access, 1000 minutes and 1000 texts a month (must admit though that the Experia X10 that I have is a pile of poop though:mad:)
