Creating a sample book

 

Developing a portfolio of your work is a must! It allows your customer to see the quality of your embroidery. It also allows you to show-off some of your existing accounts. “Name-dropping” can be effective when promoting your business. If Jones Mfg. is a well-known company in your area, and you do their work, then by all means display that work to others. When they see a recognizable name in your portfolio, their perception of your business will generally rise a notch or two.

 

One of the simplest methods of displaying left chest size embroidered logos is as follows:

1. Sew out each logo on felt.

2. Using either pinking shears, or a rotary cutter, cut out each sample in a uniform manner. All of them should be cut to the same dimensions, such as 3” X 5”. Consider making a rectangular template.

3. Purchase 3 ring binder photo albums that have clear pages with 3” X 5” pockets. Check with local department stores or contact the following company:
