Consuul + The Living Memoir

2011-12-14T17:48:00.000-08:00

If you've tuned in to this season of MTV's hit show The Real World: San Diego, then you've probably heard of The Living Memoir, or seen the cast rocking their TLM apparel! The Living Memoir (TLM) was created by The Real World's Nathan Stodghill as a place for people to share their feelings and celebrate life. The website features a forum predominantly about suicide awareness; however, "it is intended for people to remember the past (rewind), live in the present (play), think about the future (fast forward) and unwind emotions (eject)." TLM's mission is: Learn, Laugh, Love & Live Forever.

Consuul is proud to have played such an important role in helping Nate bring his website and clothing line to life in order to spread his positive message and promote the brand which has already helped countless individuals in a time of need. According to Nate, "Within the next year, I would love to see this company prosper. Here at The Living Memoir, we are about breaths taken, smiles worn, and lives saved. We hope our consumer acknowledges our charitable contributions to our Non-profit organization partners. Ultimately, we just want to offer a helping hand to those in need. We at The Living Memoir hope to establish, not only a "brand," but a lifestyle."

This season of The Real World may be winding down, but we know that Nate is just getting started! At Consuul, we love working with people who are passionate about what they're doing, and look forward to continuing to help Nate spread his positive message.

Have an idea that you're passionate about? Feeling inspired to do something about it? Contact Consuul today, and see how we can bring your clothing line, website, brand or dreams to life!

Artist Collaboration Series: Katherine Brannock

2011-08-11T13:53:00.000-07:00

Consuul has teamed up with one of San Diego's most talented artists, Katherine Brannock, to officially kick off our Artist Collaboration Series. We have been working with some very creative people and are excited to bring their art to life on apparel lines that will be very unique, and give their work exposure it would not have received otherwise. We recently caught up with Katherine to shine some more light on this project - check out her interview below:

Kathy: Hey, this is Katherine Brannock. My passion is communication, and I hope that my work will inspire people to rediscover the greatness hidden within themselves.

Consuul: You are known primarily for your illustrations and comics. Why did you decide to print tee shirts?

Kathy: Whenever people looked at my art, they almost always asked me for t-shirts. I was pretty honored that someone would want to wear my art, and after a while I decided to try following through with that concept.

Consuul: Have you ever thought about making an apparel line and designing primarily for clothing?

Kathy: Definitely, fashion is one of my biggest inspirations. I love the idea of how wearing something beautiful (be it hand-made, vintage, designer, or sentimental, etc.) can generate our dormant self-confidence.

Consuul: Your illustrations are so different from the typical graphics on tee shirts these days. How do you get to the finished illustration? What is the process?

Kathy: It's very time intensive. Every piece is different, and lately I've only focused on creating work spontaneously - no predetermined ideas ahead of time. I like to let things happen of their own free will on the page. This is one of my greatest motivations, I never know how something will turn out.

Consuul: Where can I get one of these tee shirts?

Kathy: They are available on my Etsy store: just type in Katherine Brannock and you can find me. And on my website store at: katherinebrannock.com & www.consuul.com in the shop

Consuul: What has been your favorite design? And Why?

Kathy: That's hard to say, I love them all, but the Owl Girl on the pink t-shirt is so bold. I can't wait to see someone walking down the street wearing it with some pride.

Consuul: Are there any exciting projects coming up that you can let us know about?

Kathy: At the moment, I'm doing my best to build a portfolio for showing my work in galleries around town, the US and eventually overseas. Also, in the meantime, I'll be working hard on my next piece of art and literature.

Consuul: Do you have any message you would like to share with the people who are reading about your new venture in the t-shirt world?

Kathy: I'm not sure if I could really sum up what I would like to tell everyone, but I will pose a question to the public:

"Is it worth it to you, to leave something behind for the enjoyment of others?"

ComicCon Takes Over Downtown San Diego while Revolt Takes Over the Beaches

2011-07-27T14:44:00.000-07:00

COMICCON

The massive four-day event that is ComicCon was held at the San Diego Convention Center last week and was the biggest one yet! This was also the first year that Consuul was officially involved in it. With over 300,000 guests, Downtown San Diego resembled a mix between Las Vegas, a HollyWood movie set, Halloween, and a circus with all of the diehard, costumed fans in attendance from around the world. The convention also brought numerous industry professionals to our neighborhood, and we had the chance to work with some of these big companies.

One of our newest clients, SEGA, came to us in need of some professionally made garments and outfits for the convention and their Sega Arcade room. They were fun to work with and we can't wait for the next opportunity to help them out again. Below you see a SEGA shirt we printed for their events promotion team (the guy next to the Lego Transformer).

Furthermore, we have been working with a very talented artist and illustrator named Katherine Brannock who exhibited in the Artists' Alley this year with an arsenal of t-shirts we collaborated on. Her work is done with a BIC ballpoint pen on drawing paper and the outcome is phenomenal.

We were pleased that she wanted to work with us on transferring her artwork to high quality t-shirts. If you like her artwork, please feel free to make a purchase at our online shop here.
There are 3 designs available right now: The Shark on white and aqua, Owl on fuchsia and white, and Elephant on orange and white.

Working with Consuul

2011-06-21T13:14:00.000-07:00

Working with Consuul 101

If you are looking to order custom t-shirts for the first time, it may seem a bit intimidating not understanding the printing process or knowing how to transform your idea into a wearable garment. This guide is designed to help you through this process and explain how to bring your idea to life.

Step 1:
Make artwork.
So you want to make tee shirts or other wearable product? You will first need some sort of art or graphic for us to screen print. If you're starting from scratch, our Graphic Design team members are skilled at working with you to help see your vision through. Here are some important things to remember:

Size - make sure you measure out on a t-shirt how big you want your design to be. Remember that t-shirts vary in size, so make sure the design you want to print will look good on either a small or extra large. On our regular screens, the size limitation is 14 inches by 17 inches. If you want to print bigger than that, it is called jumbo or all over printing and is a different process.

Color(s): Pantone matching system - Pantone is the official color matching system that standardizes the process of universally matching colors. Using pantone colors lets you get the colors you want without any margin for error. Of course, if you aren’t that picky about colors, you can always specify which colors you want by their names (example: baby blue).

Timing - Screen printing has a lot of variables that determine the turnaround time. Our standard turnaround time is 10 business days but orders can be rushed if necessary. Some things you should take into consideration:

Shipping time- We are located in sunny San Diego and service people all around the country. Please make sure you consider shipping time on top of our turnaround time.
Changes to design/mock- Here at Consuul, we send digital mock-ups to approve before we start printing. If you want to change the artwork after the mock-up, the turnaround time wont start until the artwork is finalized and approved.

Payment- turnaround times only begin when we have received payment and approval of artwork.
Custom finishing- Bagging, tagging, UPC labeling and other specialty print and finishing techniques can add some time onto your order, so make sure you consult with a Consuul sales rep when considering these finishing services.

You will also need to submit your artwork to us in a file we can use to print your designs. The best file types we prefer are .AI files but we can also work with .PDFs, .JPGs, and .PSDs. Important! Make sure your artwork is 300dpi and designed to the size of the final print.
Also, make sure your fonts are outlined. If they are not, your font will not be on the design when we receive it.

Step 2:
Pick garments and order.
There are hundreds of shirt styles out there and it can be tough to know what shirt is right for you:

100% cotton is the most popular shirt we print on and when you dont know where to start, this will be your safest choice. Keep in mind these may shrink about 5% because they are 100% cotton. These shirts are the most affordable choice and the outcome when printing on them is great.

100% ringspun is our second most popular and our favorite. These shirts are top quality and softer than regular 100% basic cotton shirts. These produce great printing results and work very well with our discharge inks. The most popular shirt in this category is the American Apparel 2001 as a lot of clothing companies prefer to print on this shirt since it is so soft and well-made.

Triblend is a close third due to its extra comfort and one of the softest shirts we carry. However, you cannot use discharge inks on this shirt and because of its makeup, it usually comes in a heather. These are one of the most expensive shirts we carry so if you want a high-end soft shirt, this is your garment.

50/50 is a good mix between the ringspun cotton shirt and the triblend. It is half cotton & half polyester so it won't shrink, but the drawback is that we can't discharge on it. If you want to print on this shirt, we recommend water-based inks.

After you have the shirts picked out, you can call our sales office at 858.227.9271 or request a quote at consuul.com.
It will help speed the ordering process up if you have a shirt size breakdown, the colors that you want to print, along with the artwork ready for print. Make sure you let us know what your deadline is before placing the order so we can make sure we can get your job done with more than enough time. Again, our standard turnaround time is 10 business days but we can rush almost any job for an extra fee.

Step 3:
Pay
After you send your artwork to us, we will send you a digital mockup along with an estimate. Once you accept the estimate, approve the mockup, and pay for the order, we can start printing and the turnaround time will start. We accept checks and all major credit cards that can be paid over the phone, online, or you can come in to our showroom if you are in the area.

Step 4:
Almost there...
Wait 10 business days (plus shipping, if necessary) for your order to arrive and ENJOY! We welcome feedback on your experience with us and we love to hear about how much you love your shirts - so don't be shy! Thank you for choosing Consuul!

Jenny's Walk 2011

2011-04-27T12:02:00.000-07:00

Consuul is proud to once again be sponsoring Jenny’s Walk, happening May 1, 2011 at San Diego State University.

Please visit www.jennyswalk.com to get more information, get involved, and make a donation.

Jenny Poliakoff, a founding volunteer at the Friendship Circle, died tragically May 6, 2007. She became involved with The Friendship Circle organization during her senior year in high school, diving immediately into the work, and quickly becoming the ideal teen partner. She loved the children, always greeting them with a warm friendly smile and a cheerful disposition. A bright and articulate young woman, Jenny was eager and delighted to help anyone in need. Jenny noticed any child standing off to the side at a Friendship Circle event and made sure to get them involved. The joy Jenny took from just being with the children was obvious to all. She looked forward to learning at the training sessions and encouraged others to attend and participate as well. Jenny was genuinely loved and touched by all who knew her.

Walkathon Date: May 1, 2011

A 5K 'Friendship Walkathon' culminating with a 'Friendship Festival to benefit children with special needs and their families.

The advantages of using promotional products.

2011-02-17T16:26:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wondered why promotional products are used as a form of advertising? The fact is consumers avoid advertising so companies have to figure out creative ways to reach their clients without annoying them. The advantages of using promotional products are as follows:

Selectivity: the product distributed directly to target customers;
Flexibility: the product can be distributed through several different means;
Frequency: items are usually kept for a long period of time; which in turn drives repeated exposure;
Cost: items are affordable compared to other forms of advertising (repeated exposure drives down cost per impression);
Goodwill: people like to receive gifts and many gifts are functional;
High Recall: with promotional products there is a high recall of the advertiser’s name and message;
Supplementing other media: low cost and repeat exposure- message can reinforce appeal or information provided through other forms

Check out what we did for one of our clients!

Client: iTAN (www.itansolariums.com)

Problem: I-tan came to us needing a promotional shirt that their employees could wear and that represented the benefits of vitamin D in tanning. They were interested in a high quality fashion forward t-shirt that was more fitted and that represented the high quality brand that iTan has established.

Solution: Since iTAN needed an employee t-shirt one of the considerations that had to be accounted for is that the shirt would be washed many times; iTAN needed a shirt that would be long lasting and a shirt in which ink would never crack or peel. We recommended that iTAN use an American Apparel t-shirt with discharge ink so that the employees could wear a fitted t-shirt that was soft to touch and would look better with every wash.

Analysis: The shirts that iTAN used were a great success! The shirts still look great after months of use and their customers now associate vitamin D with the experience of tanning. Since the success of these shirts we have done multiple different promotional products for them!

We have many promotional products that can work for your company in many different ways, contact us to figure out the best fit for your company! Visit www.consuul.com for more information!

Fashion Trade Show MAGIC Opens Its Doors to 30 Top Bloggers

2011-02-16T16:20:00.000-08:00

Fashion and the Internet have been on a collision course since the medium's inception. But it wasn't until late last year that the two have really found their groove. For proof, you need only look at the sheer volume of new fashion sites that have launched since the third fiscal quarter of 2010. Even Anna Wintour, it seems, lifted her ban on the word "blog" in the hallowed pages of Vogue.

So it only makes sense that this year, for the first time, MAGIC, the annual preeminent fashion trade show in Las Vegas, opened it's doors to 30 of the Internet's top bloggers to cover the event. The notion being: harness the youth's taste and reach and the event markets itself.

Two years ago, I said that one day I would be doing what I'm doing now with WWDMagic. Having this idea come to fruition is both humbling and overwhelming at the same time," said Macala Wright, Editor-in-Chief of FashionablyMarketingMe.com, who partnered with WWDMagic,Teen Vogue and the Internet's fashion blogger elite for the 3 day event this week.

Among the notable things the bloggers will be doing are "style-offs". Think of these as Iron Chef or Top Chef competitions but instead of food, blogger stylists will be creating outfits with a given set of clothing items and apparel.

We did this for many reasons, but personally for me," says Wright, "you see a lot of the same people in the media all the time. And there are a lot of brilliant voices online that are waiting to be heard. So my hopes are to connect those people, get them working together and meeting each other, and who knows, maybe we'll make the next wave of online influencers that change the way we do things online."

The content from the blogger lounge was all aggregated in real-time and published on big screens at the show, but you could also follow it at www.WWDMagic.tumblr.com.

Organic and Eco Friendly Custom Products!

2011-01-11T22:30:00.000-08:00

Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility, and requires a proactive role from all of us. This is why our team at Consuul has gone beyond just offering custom printed apparel with plastisol, the traditionally used ink for screen printing, and offers more environmentally-friendly options. Using water based inks and organic garments are just a few of the eco-friendly options available when creating a custom-made product. Screen printing with non-toxic, water-based inks is a great option because of its sustainability when printed on fabrics.

Another advantage of water-based inks over traditional ink is that it leaves the fabric soft, washable, and ironable without fading or releasing toxic fumes. Although water-based inks can be printed on any color fabric, we recommend printing on lighter colored fabrics to enhance the full spectrum of color in the designs and make it really "pop".

To print water-based inks on dark color garments, we add a discharge additive into the water-based inks which greatly helps in making them appear bright and in full color. Discharge water-based inks can not be used on synthetically-made garments, and must only be used on 100% cotton fabrics.

Garments made from organically grown cotton not only feel great, but are also very friendly to the environment. The market of organically grown shirts continues to grow, and every day we are seeing more and more garment options available. All of the colors for organic shirts are fairly similar and generally consist of more "earthy" colors.

Onno is a very popular manufacturer of organic shirts and fabrics. For more information about their company, you can visit their website at https://www.onnotextiles.com/.

If you have any questions about printing with organic or eco-friendly products, please give us a call, and one of our customer service representatives will be happy to assist you!

CONSUUL IN THE NEW YEAR!

2011-01-05T15:30:00.000-08:00

In 2010, Consuul evolved from a simple print shop to a full-service soft goods designer, producer, and shipment warehouse with an integrated online ordering system. In 2011, Consuul’s ever-expanding capabilities have allowed us to take on many more clients in the apparel industry while increasing the quality of the relationships we have with our existing clientele.

With our growing customer base came the opportunity for Consuul to grow, both in numbers and in talent.This past year Consuul hired Erik Till (Resource Manager), Brad Lubinsky (Customer service representative) and Matt Hartless (Graphic Designer). Consuul’s growth and presence in the industry did not gone unnoticed; in 2010, Consuul had the honor of being recognized as as a vertically integrated garment manufacture in the State of California and joined the Fair labor association, a national safety and health coalition. With that Consuuls’ owners became OSHA certified and implemented one of the most comprehensive safety and health programs in the industry.

These advancements have allowed us to make an even bigger impact with our clients, which in turn allows them to be at the forefront on their respective industries. We are proud to announce that we have formed a relationship with UCSD and the Triton outfitters to create licensed merchandise for UCSD in 2011 and will continue working with various departments at SDSU this year.

In addition to these exciting new relationships, Consuul clothing will be shifting its focus from creating logo-based designs that promote our printing company, to producing collaborative clothing lines that feature artists from California. In the beginning stages, we are working with a group of artists that have inspired Consuul and aided in the success of our printing company. These clothing lines will be for sale at our downtown boutique, on our website, and special events that we host. The featured artists will showcase their talents at our various events and online through different mediums. Be sure to check out the NEW featured artist section on our website for new designs by Consuul Clothing each season this year.

The Bohemian Market

2010-12-20T16:14:00.001-08:00

Over the past weekend, Consuul took part in the Bohemian Marketplace at our Downtown location - The Industry Showroom. There were several clothing lines, fashion designers, jewelers, artists, performers, and local DJs that helped make this event a huge success. Other than the standard in-house brands (such as Consuul, JOJO Electro, Popular Naughty, and Brit boy), there were several international brands in the building, such as Fidelity and True Religion. Between the different exhibitors, you could find anything from designer jeans to handbags and even dresses. There were also several cool products such as screen printed glasses and custom MP3 players.

The event turned out to be a huge success and a lot of fun! Our production team set up a screen press on the sidewalk of Sixth Avenue and had a live screen printing exhibit! We made shirts for the event and shirts for one of our featured artists, Cory Schnitzer, whose artwork was on display at the event. We also had artist and Consuul team member Jonny Alexander painting live for people to watch. Jonny displayed his work at the Marketplace while explaining the art of screen printing to locals on 6th Avenue.

The next Bohemian Marketplace will be Saturday January 22nd. We still have a lot of cool products from this past weekend and will be getting more new gear in the new year. Come by and check it out 345 Sixth Avenue, San Diego 92101.

Enjoy your holidays!

Consuul Artist: Jonny Alexander is on the Cover of City Beat!

2010-11-17T15:09:00.000-08:00

Jonny Alexander is a trip. Talking to the 21-year-old artist is like going through a time warp—one that lands you back in the 1960s when young people were still idealistic, wanted to connect with nature and thought they could change the world. The influence is coming partly from the ’60s and ’70s psychedelic rock he says he listens to when he sits down to make art.

“I will never paint or draw without hearing music,” Alexander says. “I kind of draw from that era and that kind of mindset. I have a wide variety of music I listen to, and most of it was made before I was born.”

I got hold of Alexander as he was heading out of town for a weekend camping trip in Big Sur. He couldn’t wait to run around in the wild with his backpack filled with art supplies. He says he sits for hours and tries to imitate the patterns found in nature.

“Everything’s so intricately designed,” he says. “You have to stop and look at it. That’s nature, not so much my art. Hopefully my art will do that for you, though.”

Alexander’s piece on the cover of CityBeat this week is called "Smug in the Wooly Cotton Brains of Infancy." It’s a 22-layer silkscreen on paper, and it’s one of his older pieces done through what he likes to call “automatic or unconscious” drawing. He would compile random images from his sketchbook and put them together in a silkscreen.

These days, Alexander is a little more conscious about the messages his images are conveying. He’s gotten into narratives—mostly related to societal woes or environmental issues.

“I want someone to look at a piece and get their brains working instead of mindlessly looking at images,” Alexander says. “I try to invoke some type of thought about our daily lives that people don’t really see. I have a big influence with nature and the natural landscape and how far we’ve gone from that. I try to bring people back.”

How To Use Facebook To Promote Your Clothing Line

2010-07-15T15:55:00.000-07:00

With the influence that social media has on people from all over the world, using a community such as Facebook can generate a huge following for your clothing line. Facebook has many features available which allow you to customize your brand's page. From creating separate photo galleries for each style of apparel your clothing line offers to running a shopping cart, Facebook has designed applications to allow you to maintain a professional online marketplace.

Create a street team for your clothing line and make them "Admins" on your brand's Facebook page. Once they are "Admins", have each person suggest to their friends on Facebook that they become fans of your clothing line's page. The more people that you can get in front of and keep up to date with you brand the better!

Once you have customized your Facebook page, it is very important to consistently add a variety of fresh new content that will catch the attention of your fans. By constantly uploading pictures of every event you attend or are involved with allows people to see your progress as a brand and involvement in the community or culture you associate with.

Another major important marketing tool which creates a large amount of attention is producing videos for your clothing line. Video marketing allows you to really show the culture behind your brand while adding visually appealing effects and music.

To create a strong presence on your fans' and friends' news feeds, it is very important to not create "spam" by just flooding Facebook. If you are constantly updating your status and your fans and friends are not "Liking" or commenting on your posts, this is going to reduce the quality of your Facebook posts. Be sure to only make posts on Facebook that have a strong following or are going to grab the attention of a large amount of people. If multiple people comment on your post, then your post will receive a high rating and appear on more of your network's news feed.

As Facebook continues to grow and improve their software, the impact and connection to people all over the world is only going to improve. Staying on top of the trends with current marketing efforts is what generates the largest amount of revenue for company. Do your research and break down the elements and applications which fits best with your brand and create a strong page for your brand on Facebook!

Why promotional products?

2010-06-23T10:05:00.000-07:00

Selectivity: the product distributed directly to target customers;
Flexibility: the product can be distributed through several different means;
Frequency: items are usually kept for a long period of time; which in turn drives repeated exposure;
Cost: items are affordable compared to other forms of advertising (repeated exposure drives down cost per impression);
Goodwill: people like to receive gifts and many gifts are functional;
High Recall: with promotional products there is a high recall of the advertiser’s name and message;
Supplementing other media: low cost and repeat exposure- message can reinforce appeal or information provided through other forms

Check out what we did for one of our clients!

Client: iTAN (www.itansolariums.com)

Problem: iTAN came to us needing a promotional shirt that their employees could wear and that represented the benefits of vitamin D in tanning. They were interested in a high quality fashion forward t-shirt that was more fitted and that represented the high quality brand that iTan has established.

Check out iTAN's review of us on Yelp!

We have many promotional products that can work for your company in many different ways, contact us to figure out the best fit for your company! Visit www.consuul.com for more information!

What does it take to be a part of the Consuul Family?

2010-06-21T09:07:00.000-07:00

A Consuul family member is someone who is pursuing their passion and excels above all others in what they love to do. They are leaders, trendsetters, and exemplify the characteristics of a champion. Below are some commonalities of the Consuul family that combine attitudes and ambitions with other attributes to achieve success.

Björn Laubach - Speed Racer - Family Member for 1 year

Alexander Goll - Speed Racer - Family Member for 1 year

Love what you do! All members of the Consuul family really love what they do. They consistently demonstrate an enthusiasm that turns into a burning, white-hot desire to achieve. Without passion, it is difficult to maintain the drive it takes to be really successful.

Blair Giess - Surfing - Family Member for 3 years

Commit to learning the fundamentals! Achieving success comes with having to learn new techniques, mastering skills, developing new strengths, and obtaining new knowledge. They constantly work on what they learn through repetition and practice.

Lukias Cook - Snowbaording - Family Member for 1 year

Pursue specific goals and plans! Family members combine their passion and commitment to training, and formulate a thoughtful plan to improve performance. All the desire and commitment in the world doesn’t do anyone any good without a clear goal. Make your goals measurable and attainable, and set realistic benchmarks to track your progress.

Cheyne Walls - Photography - Family Member for 5 Years

Demonstrate Dedication! The first three characteristics prepare us for the fourth characteristic; Dedication. Life is a series of tests: we have to pass each one to go on to the next. As future champions move higher on the mastery scale, the falls get more painful, the defeats more serious. A Champ learns how to get up after every fall, and move even closer to excellence.

Jason Bulger - Pitcher for Anaheim Angels- Family Member for 2 years

Maintain your personal network! No Professional today makes it to the top alone. Every one of them surrounds themselves with a support team. The strength of others is crucial to achieving the goal of Family member status.

Elizabeth Hansen- Model- Consuul Family for over 1 year

Sophie Kish - Model

Enjoy your zone of discomfort! Do something every day that scares you a little --- not something life threatening, but something that causes enough discomfort that it gets you accustomed to pushing the envelope.

Top 10 Tips When Putting On Your Own Fashion Show

2010-06-13T20:30:00.000-07:00

To put on a great fashion show, you need proper planning, enthusiastic promotion, and successful execution. We have put together some helpful hints from what we have learned through our past experiences of putting on fashion shows and collaborating with some of the best venues, models, clothing companies, and DJs in San Diego.

A GREAT VENUE: Choosing a venue can be the most difficult choice for throwing a successful fashion show. Obviously, several factors can go into picking a good venue, such as location, price, and availability. Aside from the obvious factors, look for venues that have a lot of open space - a runway and dance floor are two qualities of a good place for a fashion show. The last thing you want is a small crowded space that makes it difficult for your guests to view the show. If they do not have a runway, you can look into renting one for cheap from local party rental companies. Ensure that the venue will work well with large groups. For example, Stingaree in downtown San Diego was very accommodating to our large group by offering everyone on our guest list free cover and great drink specials.

Picture at Fluxx Night Club in San Diego.

COLLABORATING WITH OTHERS: The best way to cut costs and promote your event is by collaborating with other companies to take part in the fun. Whenever you have a large event and a lot of people are involved, there is a good chance that companies will be looking to help and share costs to get the exposure. We hooked up with Revolt In-style Magazine to cover the fashion show and do a two-page spread; Cali Party Bus provided the transportation which made it a true VIP experience; 4th Estate did all of our Video and Photography; Hip Hair in Pacific Beach did all of our models hair and make-up (which looked amazing); DJ TILL of Starry Eyed Music provided the hottest tracks and kept people dancing. In the end, it was a team effort from all the parties involved that made the night such a memorable experience.

Picture features Alina Mackinson, owner of Hip Hair in Pacific Beach.

DOCUMENTING THE EVENT: A fashion show can serve as a great opportunity to get content for future promotions and marketing material. It is important that you have pictures and video so that your one night can reach a much larger audience than just the people that were able to attend. We worked with 4th Estate Productions who gave us all the footage to put up on our Facebook and website, we used the pictures for our clothing ads, and our fashion show videos are on YouTube with hundreds of views. This gives us credibility when we go to stores and show them the recent things that we have been doing to promote our line. I would say that investing in getting professionals to come out and document your show is as important as putting the show on itself.

Picture features 4th Estate Production in action.

CLOTHES: Presentation is everything when showing your line at a Fashion Show. Every clothing owner has their favorite pieces, but it's important to have good variety throughout the show from start to finish. If you are going to be repeating the same design in different colors, then try staggering them with other designs so people do not get tired of seeing the same thing over and over. Although it is great to have a lot of pieces in a show, you do not want to repeat everything in every color because people will get bored. One thing that worked great for us was teaming up with EC Star, a girl's fashion line; they brought in several dresses and skirts that added a completely different look to the show and appealed to female audience who were pleasantly surprised to see more than just t-shirts!

Picture features EC Star Clothing newest dress!

SPICE UP THE NIGHT: Aside from the show, we have found that providing additional entertainment can go a long way when putting on a event. Whether it be a special host, go-go dancers, a live performer, dance act, or live artist, there are several options that will add a little spice to a great night. For example, we invited The Platt Brothers (voted Best Live Comedy in San Diego) to perform in our first show who came and did a dance performance wearing all of our Consuul Gear. When getting feedback about the event, people said that they were the biggest hit!

Picture Features The Platt Brothers live performance at Consuul Fashion Show.

MUSIC - Music has an amazing power over our minds and bodies and it can even evoke emotions within us. Also, it can really make or break the mood at an event, especially in a nightclub environment. Think about what your clothing represents and find a genre of music that would seem fitting for your show. You may even want to have different music for different pieces. When we did our Consuul Fashion Show with other clothing companies, DJ TILL worked with each one to choose the right music to identify with their clothing. From hip-hop to rock, and electro to house, each style of music helped brand the clothing, set the tone for the evening, and keep things interesting.

Picture features DJ Till - Starry Eyed Music and Consuul Printing and Design

ORGANIZATION- This will help you save time and money when putting on the event and will show the people that come to your event what type of work ethic you have. The last thing you want is to invite your entire network of professional colleagues, friends, and family and have a disorganized mess that drags on or ends anticlimactically. A fashion show should be planned at least a month ahead of time to book the venue, get other companies involved, and spread the word to the models and people that will be attending. On the night of, it is important to put together an itinerary so that the people involved can see the timing of everything. No one person can do everything! For example, we had people in charge of running the buses, setting-up decor, getting the models ready, and prepared for clean-up. This ensures that everything goes according to plan and will lead to the ability of having more successful shows in the future.

ACCESSORIES - Accessories can be surprising in how they can turn an average outfit into something show-stopping. When you throw on a belt, scarf, or funky bracelet, you can turn the same old look into something great. For example, even though our line was comprised of 26 different shirts, we used hats, jackets, shoes, pants, and more so that people could really imagine themselves wearing our stuff on an everyday basis. It also can bring legitimacy to your brand by associating it with the industry's top leading fashion suppliers like New Era Hats, Creative Recreation Shoes, and LRG jackets. Accessories really do work and will bring your show to the next level!

PROMOTING THE EVENT: It is important to promote the event and get the right people there to ensure that all the hard work that goes into putting on the Fashion Show pays off. Some ways to do this include posting flyers up at the venue, making a Facebook event, and sending out invitations to local editors and retail store owners. You might want turn to a promotion company that can assist you in putting out the word. We turned to our friends in Starry Eyed Music and Encore Entertainment who have a vast network of party-goers who helped spread the word.

MODELS: Your models can be the biggest seller when it comes to having a fashion show. For many people, they represent the first impression that will be what people remember when they think about your show and clothing. Small things can go a long way, such as having professional hair and makeup, ensuring that the clothes fit before hand, and having entertaining models go a long way. For our shows, we encourage the models to do something fun at the end of the runway. For example, we had our models blow kisses, dance, or use props when they went down the runway. It kept the crowd's attention and they were always excited to see what was going to happen next!

Aside from the great memories, they have served as a great way to increase web traffic, spread awareness, and increase sales and exposure in the fashion world. We hope that these tips help you in planning your next fashion show and wish you the best of luck.

The Importance Of Search Engine Optimization For Your Brand

2010-06-02T14:36:00.000-07:00

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own clothing line? Maybe you have already taken the leap and started branding your own clothing amongst your friends. Starting a clothing line is very competitive, and one of the most important things you can do is have your company's website catch the eyes of your target market. In order to do this, you must have the knowledge of proper internet branding, more commonly known as SEO or search engine optimization.

Search engine optimization is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site or a web page (such as a blog) from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results, as opposed to other forms of search engine marketing (SEM) which may deal with paid inclusion. The theory is that the higher a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site what is called "web presence".

Tips For Improving Your Website's SEO:

~Monitor your web traffic

~Use keywords throughout your website

~Link back to yourself

~Create a site map

~Avoid Flash

~Use Image Descriptions

~Social Media Distribution

~Link to other websites

~Create a blog

~Video marketing on You Tube

Creating a strong presence over the internet should be the first step to building your brand. Ultimately what you are trying to create is a place for your consumers to stay informed on your latest products and be visual attracted to your website. Creating banners for your homepage which offers promotions is an excellent way to grab the attention of the people viewing your website. The banners can then link to other product pages throughout the site and this will increase your SEO. Starting a new brand takes endurance, but with the proper internet marketing and SEO, we can guarantee you will see an increase in traffic for your website!

What Makes a Successful Clothing Line?

2010-05-25T20:14:00.000-07:00

As custom apparel specialists, observing fashion trends and predicting what will be popular and profitable is part of our job and our passion. We work with many different "start-up" clothing lines that come in with ideas and designs...and the dream of making it big! We work hard to inform them of the printing process and help to transform their vision into a reality no matter what the budget. As young entrepreneurs and their printers, we want nothing more than to see our clients succeed and live the dream! The clothing and retail industry is a tough market, especially with the current economy, and there is plenty of competition. So the million dollar question is: What makes a successful clothing line?

A great way to answer this question is using concrete examples from one of our newest clients, TRIPP APPAREL, who is already showing great success as a young clothing company. There are a few key factors to success that are vital when it comes to surviving in the clothing industry. Despite being a younger brand and new to the scene, TRIPP already seems to have it all.

Some key factors of a successful clothing line include having a clear vision, catchy name, memorable logo, unique designs, quality manufacturing, and a solid sales and marketing approach.

Jonathon Tripp, owner of TRIPP Apparel, didn't have to think too long about what he wanted his line to be called. Jonathon is a full time graphic designer and his vision is to connect with his target market through fun and unique designs. This can be seen through his logo which is different from everything else out there and is instantly identifiable when people wear it. Creating a clothing line that represents the generation and time that he grew up in is his passion. He chose comfortable garments and we are using the best printing techniques to ensure a high quality product for his customers. It's also clear that Jonathon favors quality by choosing New Era, the number #1 hat manufacturer in the world, for TRIPP Apparel's line of hats.

TRIPP uses several different avenues to sell product. The company already has a fully functioning website, www.trippapparel.com, where you can view the line and make a fast and convenient purchase using a credit card. Word is spreading fast through social media outlets like Facebook, the TRIPP Blog, and Twitter. However, the most effective method is through referrals and word of mouth from a loyal following and strong base of satisfied customers. We are very excited to have TRIPP as a client and we can't wait to see what lies ahead for TRIPP Apparel.

One thing is for certain, for all start up clothing lines, you must give 100% effort to your brand at all times. Remember, all clothing lines, even the most popular ones, start off small. As long as you are willing to continue to work hard and have the drive, there is no reason why you will not be able to succeed as you start your own clothing line.

The Power of T-shirt Marketing

2010-05-17T20:24:00.000-07:00

Over the past five years we have worked with hundreds of businesses, student organizations, non-profits, and universities from all over San Diego, that have been using custom printed t-shirts to advertise their business successfully. Custom t-shirts are an extremely effective and inexpensive way to advertise. People love walking around in their favorite brand or promo tee, due to the fact they create a sense of style, belonging or link to a specific group. It is definitely worthwhile for any business to look into this unique and effective way to advertise and reach their target audience.

The design aspect will determine the overall success of a marketing promotion and really is the key component on how effective the promotion will be. If your company or organization already has a successful graphic or slogan, then you should think about cashing in and making some custom t-shirts or imprinted promotional products.

If you do not have a logo figured out, then you are in an important phase of launching your business or marketing campaign. At Consuul, you will work with a team of marketing experts and talented graphic designers that will surely leave a lasting impression on whomever you are trying to reach. We understand that this is an investment, and we see ourselves as partners in your road to success. When you buy promotional products, or custom apparel, you are investing in something that lasts beyond a magazine ad that just gets thrown away, a 30 second radio spot that might get heard, or a random ad on a website that people are annoyed by. Custom Apparel can last years and be a constant reminder to your clients on where to turn when in need of the services or products you offer.

Please contact us for a free consultation and see why we are your number one solution for marketing your business or student organization @ 858-736-9151 or www.consuul.com

WHAT DOES THE NAME CONSUUL MEAN?

2010-05-09T19:41:00.000-07:00

The word “Consuul” derives from the ancient Roman term “Consul”, which was the highest elected official of the Roman Republic from 503 BC to 27 BC. The Consul carried out his duties as head of the state by putting the word of the people above all other aspects of an empire which spanned across Europe and most of Asia. The principles of leadership represented by the Consul were simple and direct, a central government for the people, by the people.

We apply the same principles to our current business model more than 2,000 years after the Roman Republic, providing our clients with an opportunity to be involved in the creative process of their project from start to finish. The extra “U” in our name “Consuul” is just that...For “U” created by “U”, Consuul.

Hundred's Gather To Support Jenny's Walk

2010-05-04T12:31:00.000-07:00

Hundreds gathered Sunday to walk in memory of Jenny Poliakoff and raise money for her passion to help children with special needs.

The family of Poliakoff held the third annual 5-K walk called "Jenny's Walk" in her memory.

"It touches on some emotions of my sister passing because May 5th is the anniversary of her death," said Nate Poliakoff, Jenny's older brother.

Hundreds of San Diegans raised money to support one of Jenny's passion, the Friendship Circle, a non-profit which help children with special needs.

"Instead of staying super down and depressed about it, we wanted to channel all that energy into something positive, which is this walk," Poliakoff said.

The participants came out to support people like Bernie Kurtin, 16, who has down syndrome.

"I feel happy," said Kurtin.

She's happy because the estimated $70-thousand raised went towards events special needs children can enjoy.

"It gives them purpose, friends they can relate to," said Linda Kurtin, Bernie's mother.

Kayle Nielsen, Jenny's best friend, continued to support the Friendship Circle and said it will keep Jenny's spirit alive.

"It's just remembering Jenny and I remember her every single day," said Nielsen. "When everyone comes out for her like today, it gives me the goose bumps just thinking about it."

The next leg of the event was the snowboarding competition which took place at Northstar at Lake Tahoe. Team Consuul's boarder, Lukias Cook, threw a huge backside 720 off a 60 foot jump in the competition, but it still wasn't quite good enough to move Consuul up the leader board.

The Skateboarding Competition was the final event of the Ultimate Boarder and was held at the Grand Sierra Resort & Casino in Reno, Nevada. Team Consuul's skater, Cayden Riebe, was going huge on the vert ramp all day, but skateboarding legends Christian Hosoi and Steve Caballero killed it as usual and took the top spots.
