View Your Logo In 3D On Imprinted Promotional Products
Did you know there are some distributors of custom imprinted promotional products that have the technology to select any promotional item and on their website and show you what your logo or promotional message looks like in real 3D?
This is exciting news for customers because it reduces the costly mistakes of ordering imprinted promotional products. Having the ability to see exactly what your logo and message looks like on promotional pens, calendars, shirts etc..lets you make any changes before you order say 500 pens and to have your logo in the wrong place or too small or too big or there's an error in spelling.
So next time your looking for imprinted promotional product idea's have your distributor send you a few virtual logo samples, they don't mind, it lets their art department get creative have something to do.
Another great advantage of viewing your logo or message in 3D on a imprinted promotional product is playing around with the promotional message. A small bank in New York came up with many promotional messages and couldn't decide on which one to use, so 4 idea's was sent off to have a virtual sample made up and of the 4 they selected the prefect promotional message. Actually the one message they wanted to use ended up being way to small of an imprint because it was way too long. But they did pick their running up "Where They Have Their Branches We Have Our Roots" was the promotional message used, thanks again to the imprinted promotional products virtual logo sample.
This service is usually free from your imprinted promotional products distributor and usually takes 15 minutes if you send them your logo artwork by email or if they already have it on file. If you don't have your logo artwork you can ask your printer for a copy on disk. Sometimes if you have a website with your logo on it the distributor can usually take your logo from you site.
