Tamarack Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'm SOOOO excited!! I ordered fabric bags for my quilting business so when my customers pick up their quilts I can hand it to them in a nice bag. Received them in the mail today and gave out my first one tonight. My client was very happy with it and the color even matched her quilt! I had been working on my logo for a few month just for this reason, to put on the bags, so it is so nice to see the finished product. *happy dance* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamarack Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Vickie, I got them through www.4imprint.ca They are a Canadian company that sell a variety of promotional items. When I saw they had a bag that was big enough for a quilt and it was simple in design I knew that was the one I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia Wilson Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Kathy, those are great bags! I can't seem to get the link to work though. I love your logo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamarack Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Nadia I fixed the link...I added an 's' to the end of 4imprint by mistake. It should work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Kathy, those look great! I ordered some bags from ULine that I will use until my incredibly busy husband has time to make my logo into a screen that he can screenprint on totes for me. Then, I'll be as fancy as you!! That is a great design and such a great way to advertise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoriaG Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Great bag. Your customers should love them. Victoria G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Love the bag and the logo. That should keep them coming back. Now, when the customer comes back with a new quilt top are they supposed to bring it to you in your re-usable bag? That would also be cool.

LinneaMarie Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 OK, give with the details! hahaha How big is the bag and, if you don't mind me being nosy; hoe many $$?? They are just great and I love your logo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWBowser Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 You did a great job on your logo. Your customers are very lucky. The bag is great. Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamarack Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yes the intent is for my customers to bring them back with there next quilt. I have a few customers that might get two as they pick one up and drop one off at the sametime. They are NOT cheap. I ordered 100 bags and the total after taxes, set up fees and shipping was $430 Canadian. So that works out to $4.30 a bag. But for me that is okay as my business is not about paying household bills, it is about doing what I love and I know I'm very lucky to be in this position. So splurging on my customers is something I enjoy and I really appreciate that they put their trust in me to quilt their quilts. The bags are 16"x20"x 6" so fit a quilt nicely. The logo was designed by a local guild member who is a retired graphic designer. We worked on it together for about a month. She refused to be payed so I made her a Batik Tote bag and she almost cried when I gave it to her as she was not expecting anything in return. Now I have to figure out what other promotional items I want to order now that my logo is done. Any suggestions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hummm...What about return address labels, so you can mail out "stuff" to your customers. An example would be holiday cards, perhaps with a coupon that is good for a quilt brought to you in January (or your slow months). Or the logo could be on your invoices. Definately on your business cards. Use it on everything! Maybe magnets for customers after they bring you several quilts. Maybe on punch cards - like the quilt shops use when you spend so much money - punch after each quilt and make the 13th free or discounted or free batting...something that will excite your customers and make you stand out beyond the others. I really think you have a great logo! Oh boy...sorry to ramble so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
