(Sponsored by PRINTING United) We are back for part 2. We will discuss building and maintaining relationships when you might never meet your customer face-to-face. In this new world of limited travel and ever-changing rules of engagement, we still need to build that personal relationship with our customers. Whether single shirt consumers or quantity buyers, we still need to reach out with a virtual touch. The 2 Regular Guys will explore options for you to find and keep those customers.

Our Success GroupOur regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys are all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants or lectures or selling. We are not doing this for our employers, but rather for our industry. Since February 2013, The 2 Regular Guys have been the first and the most listened to garment decorating industry podcast on this planet! We are humbled by all of you tuning in each week. We work hard to bring you information that will make your business better, and our industry better. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list and you’ll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews, and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening!
