BLAH, BLAH, BLOG

While we have in house production for imprinted sportswear and manufacture close to 50% of what we sell, we rely on a network of vendors to supply the remainder of our product line. It is through these vendor relationships that we are able to provide the outstanding service that we do for our clients. Pictured above is Elizabeth (Tizzy) Scott of ETS Express who was recently awarded our 2018 supplier rep of the year. Coincidentally, ETS owner Sharon Eyal happened to be with Tizzy the day we surprised her with the award and he is pictured above along with Ryan Kaback, our partner who handles vendor relations. As a leading supplier of drinkware for our industry, we have done business with ETS for over 20 years, but our partnership has really blossomed the past few years thanks to the outstanding service that Tizzy provides. As such, it was no surprise when our salesforce voted Tizzy the number one supplier rep for this past year. Thanks Tizzy and everyone at ETS Express for all you do. We couldn’t do what we do without you!

Here at Custom Logos we are very thankful for all of our customers and friends who have shown their loyalty and support for us over the past 30 years. But at the very top of that list of “favorites” is our staff who we appreciate day in and day out and fully recognize as our most valuable resource. And while we print millions of t-shirts for companies around the world, our favorites are always the ones we do for ourselves. Above Rosie Perez shows off the latest offering of staff shirts. Thanks to Rosie and everyone in screenprinting for all you do!

A few posts back we talked about thinking outside the box, something we are very keen on here at Custom Logos. Along those lines, and in our best efforts to keep things fresh, some of the ladies on our team spent the day working remotely from a local restaurant. Inspired by the local attractions (not the least of which was the ocean view) the ideas were flowing and the team brainstormed collectively and came up with several creative concepts for a number of our clients.

While 50% of our orders are produced in house, we rely on a network of vendors to produce the balance and sometimes stuff happens. About a month ago we found that one of our vendors accidentally shipped an order to Irvine when it was supposed to be shipped to Arizona. The next morning we dispatched Gustavo to Irvine, who intercepted the order, and headed to Arizona. After an 11 hour roundtrip our client received the order a scant 12 hours before their meeting and was ecstatic that we pulled it off. This past week we were faced with a similar situation revolving around a rush order that needed to be in Los Angeles at 8:00am Monday morning. After producing the order over the course of the weekend Gustavo was once again pressed into action, leaving our San Diego facility at 4:00am to insure another on time delivery. We are extremely thankful to have “Goose” on our staff as he clearly exemplifies the Custom Logos spirit of Doing Whatever it Takes. Thanks Goose for all you do!
