How We Help Businesses Buy Branded Workwear Properly
When somebody contacts ColorCoded Workwear, one of the first things they often ask is:
"How much are your polos?"
The truth is, after helping businesses invest in branded workwear for over 10 years, we've learned that this is usually the wrong question.
The better question is:
"What is the right branded workwear solution for my business?"
At ColorCoded Workwear, we don't believe in simply selling products.
We believe in helping businesses buy branded workwear properly.
Here's how we do it.
Step 1
We Understand Your Business
The first question we always ask is:
"What industry are you in?"
This single question tells us a huge amount.
An estate agency requires a completely different uniform solution to a fire and security company, charity, hotel or construction business.
Understanding your business helps us recommend products that not only look professional but also perform in the real world.
Step 2
We Understand Your Team
Next, we want to understand who will actually be wearing the garments.
Questions we may ask include:
- Do you require male, female or unisex garments?
- How many members of staff do you currently employ?
- Are there any specific sizing requirements?
- Will the uniforms be worn daily?
One of the biggest mistakes businesses make is choosing uniforms that employees don't actually want to wear.
Our goal is simple:
Recommend uniforms your team will be proud to wear.
Step 3
We Understand Your Priorities
Contrary to popular belief, we don't start by asking:
"What's your budget?"
Instead, we ask:
"What is most important to your business?"
For example:
- Lowest initial cost?
- Best long-term value?
- Premium appearance?
- Durability?
- Employee comfort?
- Sustainability?
Understanding your priorities helps us recommend products that provide the best return on investment.
Step 4
We Understand How The Garments Will Be Used
Will the garments be worn:
- indoors?
- outdoors?
- both?
Will they be worn:
- every day?
- occasionally?
- seasonally?
Understanding how the garments will be used helps us recommend the correct fabric, weight, fit and performance features.
Step 5
We Understand Your Branding Requirements
We then discuss branding.
Questions include:
- Do you require embroidery or print?
- How many logo positions?
- Can you provide artwork?
- Are there existing uniforms we should match?
- Do you require a complete redesign of your work uniform?
This stage is extremely important because the branding method often determines which garments are suitable.
Step 6
We Recommend The Most Suitable Branding Method
One of the biggest misconceptions in branded workwear is that embroidery is always the answer.
Sometimes it is.
Sometimes it isn't.
After more than 10 years in the industry, we recommend the branding method that best suits:
- the garment,
- the working environment,
- the expected lifespan,
- and your budget.
Because the right branding method saves money over time.
Step 7
We Recommend Products Based On Experience
At this stage, we begin making recommendations.
Not hundreds of products.
Not thousands of products.
The right products.
Our recommendations are based on:
- experience,
- customer feedback,
- product performance,
- comfort,
- durability,
- and long-term value.
We don't believe in overwhelming customers with options.
We believe in recommending products we genuinely trust.
Step 8
We Reduce Risk
Before committing to an order, we can provide:
- samples,
- garment options,
- branding advice,
- mock-ups,
- and honest recommendations.
Our goal isn't to make a quick sale.
Our goal is to help businesses make the right decision.
Step 9
We Deliver Uniforms People Actually Want To Wear
This may sound obvious.
But after more than 10 years in branded workwear, we've discovered something very simple:
Employees don't wear uniforms because they're cheap.
They wear uniforms because:
- they're comfortable,
- they fit properly,
- they look professional,
- and they're proud to wear them.
When employees want to wear their uniform, everybody wins.
A Real Example
Limbcare Ltd
When Limbcare, a UK charity, contacted us looking for embroidered polo shirts, we didn't immediately provide a price.
Instead, we asked questions.
We wanted to understand:
- who would be wearing the garments,
- the type of fit required,
- the branding requirements,
- colour preferences,
- and their deadline.
Based on their requirements, we recommended a selection of Russell Athletic polo shirts, explained the advantages of each option and offered samples.
As a registered charity, we also provided our standard 10% charity discount.
The result?
A professional branded uniform solution that staff and volunteers are proud to wear.
