G - The Entertainer!

At Consuul, we are always looking to spotlight individuals who are leaders and trendsetters. There are many ways to be one of these individuals, such as devoting yourself to helping others in your community or being dedicated to be the best at what you do or for what you have a passion for. No one does either of these things better than G!

His motto is, “Live, Love, Laugh, Dance, Play, and Work harder than the person to your right”. He can do it all when it comes to entertainment; G is a talented Producer, Editor, Choreographer, Promoter, Host, and the best Dancer we have ever met.

He is full of confidence and life. No matter what the situation, you know G is going to have a good time and bring a smile to those around him. His love for others and fun is evident in all the volunteer work that he does in the San Diego community. Also, every weekend G has a segment entitled “Dancing is a Sport” where he performs and proves to the world that dancing is more than just a hobby, but a true Sport indeed.

Consuul Is very proud to have collaborated with G on several occassions. He always shows support for the Consuul movement and is always looking fresh while doing it! He is not only a talented performer and a selfless leader, but he always has a matching outfit on from head to toe!

Consuul Helps in San Diego's Efforts to Fight Cancer

Consuul Printing and Design is supporting National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October by sponsoring and supporting many local organizations in their efforts to fundraise for the cause. Consuul recently co-sponsored and printed shirts for the San Diego State University Ice Hockey team and College of Health and Human Services. All proceeds from these fundraisers will be donated to Breast Cancer research.

SDSU’s Ice Hockey Team kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness Month at this past Friday’s game versus Long Beach. The team wore pink and white jerseys and fans showed their spirit by sporting pink apparel and purchasing the Ice Hockey Breast Cancer shirts. Aztec Ice Hockey will continue to “stick it to breast cancer” next on 10/9/10 at 6:00pm versus San Jose State at the Kroc Center on University Ave. The team, along with other SDSU Club Sports teams will also be participating in the Making Strides Walk October 17th.

How To Use Facebook To Promote Your Clothing Line

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!

Organic And Eco-Friendly Custom Products!

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!
