Sales Forecasts for 2016
- Let’s start by having you tell our listeners about Wearables magazine.
- How Wearables gathered the information for the Sales Forecasting survey.
- In the article, you mention using your suppliers as decorators. That really surprised me, but it makes sense in the Ad Specialty world. Tell us a little more about that.
- What did your survey say about profit margins on T-shirts?
- You discuss adding embroidery to your business. Tell our listeners about the suggestions you make.
- Tell us about what the article describes as wearable tech.
- I thought the breakdown of decorations methods was very interesting. Would you go through some of these numbers for our listeners?
- Tell our listeners where they can find you and Wearables.
