HOW TO BUY THE RIGHT CORPORATE CLOTHING

Whether you're bringing in corporate clothing because you want your staff to look smarter, or want to take advantage of the advertising opportunities, you'll want to get it right first time.

Here's what you need to consider.

1. It's important to determine what you need your corporate clothing for, and where it will be used. A mechanic will have different needs to a security guard, or a builder.

2. Your staff will need to have all the Strong Work Sportswear clothing they need to be able to do their job and stay safe warm and dry. Polo shirts, jackets, sweatshirts and trousers are likely to be essential, and don't forget that you might need hats and gloves too.

3. Your work clothing might need to meet safety standards, so you'll need to choose workwear that meets or exceeds the relevant standards.

4. It's important that your work clothing is durable and up to the job. If you're working on a building site, then you'll want trousers that are strong enough to last.

5. If your workers spend a lot of time outdoors in all weathers as part of their job, then they'll need high visibility clothing to stay safe. With jackets and trousers as well as polo shirts available, your staff can stay safe and seen in all weathers.

6. You'll want to ensure that you company name and contact details are easy to read on your corporate clothing. Don't forget to include your website too. You'll want as many people as possible to see you company name, and to visit your website.

7. Depending on the jobs your staff do, you'll need them to wear the appropriate clothing. They might be working in a warehouse, or on a factory production line, or as electricians and so will have different requirements from their clothing.

8. It's imperative that your staff look professional at all times, especially if they are customer facing. If your staff are installing or repairing products, or are only called out in an emergency, then you'll want to ensure that they give the right impressions of your company.

9. Your staff might need waterproofs, especially if they work outside. Don't forget that they still need to be able to work, and need to be able to move their arms and legs whilst staying dry.

10. Your staff might be better off in Strong Work Sportswear work boots rather than trainers. As well as protecting their feet better, it will make them look more professional, and help to improve the reputation of your company.

Now you know what to look for, you'll be able to ensure that your staff have the right corporate clothing to do their jobs.
