Questionnaire Results

The most common answers were...

Check price, quality and response! Don't be fooled by the lowest-price price!

What is important in selecting a contractor varies from person to person. While a variety of opinions were expressed, they can be broadly divided into three main areas: fair price, quality, and responsiveness.

• Prefer contractors who are clear about the beauty of the finished product and the price, etc. (30s / Female / Housewife)
• To avoid being cheated by a company that is just low-price, look carefully at reviews and compare several companies. (20s / Female / Part-time job)
• The price and the quality of the T-shirts. Also, they can respond to detailed orders. (30s / male / part-timer)
• It would be better to choose a vendor who can show you samples of the printing process to ensure that the printing process is done properly. (40s / Female / Part-time job)
• I check the price and whether the fabric is properly in line with the price, being careful not to cut costs too much by using fabrics that tear easily. (20s / Female / Part-time job)
• Do they have a wide range of knowledge, are they able to respond to unreasonable requests, and are their fees clearly stated (30s / Female / Company employee)?
• I think they have good taste and are inexpensive. They are punctual in delivery. (40s / Female / Company employee)

Of course we would be happy if we could do so at a low price, but we do not want the price to be either low-price or bad. It is important that price is balanced with quality. It would be best if you can find a place that achieves low prices through corporate efforts without compromising quality. As for quality, not only the design and print, but also the fabric and sewing are important. Even if the finished product is beautiful, the fabric may be too flimsy to wear on its own! If possible, it is best to see a sample in advance and check it with your own eyes and hands. As for service, it is a matter of course that the delivery date is strictly observed. It is also important, especially for those who are particular about the design, to know the extent to which they can meet detailed requests.

Where do you want to focus? Prioritize to make it smooth.

When you make an custom T-shirts for the first time, you may not know how to do it and may feel uneasy about it. A conscientious company will kindly and carefully explain the process to such people. The check begins at that stage. You should carefully determine whether or not the contractor is truly attentive to your feelings and whether or not he or she has the skills to realize your wishes. It is also important to clarify your wishes and priorities before consulting with them. If you are clear about whether your budget is limited or whether you are particular about the design, the negotiation will go smoothly.
