It has the additional advantage of uniformity

In hospitals, patients, and students in schools too need to wear their ID cards around their neck. Economy Without Compromising Quality Check out the wholesale stationery suppliers from Singapore who would be able to ensure you economize without compromising on the quality of the products you buy from them. Therefore, buying lanyards in bulk makes perfect sense. When they are properly sourced, and chosen carefully, even everyday articles can be distinctive. You can either look for wholesale stationery in Singapore online, or in the local yellow pages. Further, you can pre-determine how many pages there should be in the notebooks. Utility which respects your budget: Most offices and other large organizations like hospitals, public utilities, educational institutions, and NGOs require their personnel to wear their identity card. Corporates and organizations which need to promote recognition of their brand would do well to have their names printed on the lanyards they give out with the ID cards.

Bulk Orders Are Always More Cost-Effective Following the principle of economies of scale, you stand to save a lot of money by buying items in bulk. What you choose matters as much as the price.There is no reason why articles of daily use should be pedestrian. From cheap promotional pens for everyday use to the higher end dual ball point pens and moleskin notebooks, it stretches your buck a little more when you purchase them wholesale. Even the pen becomes special under given circumstances, such as when they are high - end products or when they are personalized. You could need them for personal use, to give a loved one on a special occasion, as a token of appreciation of your colleagues and associates, or use in the office or home.

Whether you just intend them for daily use or wholesale PPR and Brass Union as giveaways at a promotional event, getting the name of your company or most prominent brand printed on them is sound marketing tactic. If you run a large office or other organization, you might even need card cases in bulk to ensure that anyone who represents your setup draws a card from a similar case - ideally with your company;s name embossed on it.

It has the additional advantage of uniformity, so that none of the end users either in office or at home can complain of partiality or of someone else getting a better pen, pencil, eraser, note paper, notebook, or any other kind of stationery. However, they need to be certain that these lanyards are made from the best materials possible to ensure hardiness, durability, and comfort of the user

Hey - Pat from StarterStory.com here with another interview.Today's interview is with Donovan Mathews of Bryden Apparel, a brand that sells clothing manufacturing agency.Some stats:Product: Clothing manufacturing agency.Revenue/mo: $74,000Started: April 2014Location: SingaporeFounders: 2Employees: 6Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?Hello from sunny Singapore! My name is Donovan and I am the founder of Bryden.We are a clothing manufacturing agency with offices in Singapore & China and we specialise in providing an end to end service for fashion brands to create & manufacture their products.Our goal is to help fashion businesses all around the world to create quality products easily from the comfort of their office or home.Our customers are typically small to medium sized businesses and we take delight in helping them to compete with the bigger brands by offering a wide range of customisation & product options that are usually out of reach due to large order quantities imposed by manufacturers.I started Bryden back in 2015 with my partner and we are now a team of 8, with an average monthly revenue of $74,000 and serving customers in more than 20 countries from French Polynesia to USA.imageSome of the designs we made for our clients at BrydenWhat's your backstory and how did you come up with the idea?I started my own t-shirt brand called Ardentees back in 2009 when I was still in school as e-commerce was starting to get popular. I was intrigued by the whole idea of e-commerce as you could reach a worldwide audience easily. I especially loved the idea of waking up to see emails of orders from customers around the world.After getting 2 friends on board, we spent a year sourcing & testing different manufacturers with major hiccups along the way before finally able to settle for one and start selling.imageOne of Ardentees’s designs.Traction for the t-shirt brand business was pretty decent and we even got picked up by a few stores abroad, which I thought was a mean feat for a little brand from Singapore at that time. We went on and created another online multi-label store with the idea of stocking cool labels like Life After Denim, Free People, Love For Lemons & Finders Keepers alongside Ardentees and other local brands.My first job after graduating and promotion from an intern to manager in 2 weeksAfter my graduation, I noticed that Zalora, a large ecommerce fashion retailer was entering the local market. I applied for a job with them, with the intention of learning & gaining more experience in the industry. While working in this company, there were several events pivotal to the journey that led me to where I am today.As I was still running my own business and I did not plan to stay long in Zalora, I didn’t disclose that I was running my own company on the side. I was posted to their dropshipping department to help bring brands aboard their platform. After a few days, I decided that I have to come clean as I had to contact the same local brands that were on my online store.As my manager brought me to explain to our managing director, I thought that it was going to be a quicker end of my tenure than expected. However, to my surprise, she said it wasn’t a big issue and recommended that I should be promoted to a manager and be remunerated accordingly!During this time, I received an offer to buy over my business and decided to sell it as both my partner & I were tied up in our respective jobs.Another promotion to regional sourcing managerSeveral months into my job, I got wind of the news that the company was looking to create their own in-house brands. I applied for the role of regional sourcing manager and managed to get an internal transfer.The company decided to source & manufacture in China and I was posted there to set up operations from scratch. When I went over, it was a real eye opener for me. I knew there and then that my connection to China wouldn’t be a short one.imageOne of the many clothing factories that I visitedNaturally, after visiting hundreds of suppliers and factories there, I picked up a lot of the intricacies on what goes behind making a successful or bad product and the whole supply chain.One of the key things I learnt was that even with a big sourcing budget, you really need to understand how a product is made and need a team of knowledgeable people to help you at the different parts of the process to ensure the most chances of success.Joining my ex-boss in his new start upAfter a year, my ex-boss in Zalora reached out and asked me to join his new fashion startup. In the new job, I was travelling to China and staying there for 2-3 month stints, taking care of the entire operation from the design development process to shipping the products. We also pitched & secured a contract to design the uniform and manufacture shoes for our National Postal company, Singpost.While my time there was great, I always had that inner voice urging me to start something on my own related to sourcing & manufacturing and I decided to register a business to reserve the name Bryden for my future company.The company I was working for eventually shuttered as they burnt through all their investment funding. Faced with another junction in my journey, I was looking at 3 choices for what I was going to do next. One of the choices was creating a womenswear brand with the designers from my previous company, starting an e-commerce fulfilment company or doing Bryden.Testing 3 ideas at the same time and failing terribly in 2Not wanting to put my eggs in one basket, I decided to try all 3 at the same time and tried to validate all 3 businesses.With the womenswear brand, I spent a fair bit on creating a nice lookbook & video to use that to reach out to stores and build a launch campaign. However, the launch didn’t turn out as well as expected and with a high starting operating expense, I decided to drop this idea.For the fulfilment company idea, I actually pitch the idea to my current business partner, Kai, and convinced him to leave his job in Thailand to join me. We tried reaching out to companies with our sales deck and a website but was unfortunately unable to secure the minimum number of paying clients to secure warehouse space.Faced with 2 failed ideas, the only choice left was Bryden. As I had maintained a good relationship with my former bosses, I asked if it was fine with them to transfer their supply contract with Singpost to Bryden. Thankfully both my bosses and Singpost agreed and that helped to bring in some money for me and Kai and validated the idea of doing Bryden.imageThat’s me (on the right)! With my business partner Kai (on the left). Photo is taken in support of Fashion Revolution - campaign for transparent, ethical manufacturing.Take us through the process of designing, prototyping, and manufacturing your first product.Coming from the buyer’s side over to the supply’s side has helped me to know what our potential clients look out for when selecting a supplier.Any fashion brand will ideally want to lower their inventory risk, have great product quality at great prices and for the whole process to be easy.As we thought of how we can differentiate ourselves, we decided that our USP will focus on providing a one-stop service to create great quality products at a low minimum order quantity.The aim is to benefit our clients in reducing their inventory risk by producing a lower quantity of a particular design and to maximise their sell-through rate, and by hedging their investment in more designs and reiteration if the design proves to sell well.As I have cultivated a really good working relationship with my manufacturers, I shared my plans with them and asked them for their support to offer a really low minimum order quantity of 36 pieces per design so that I could use that as our unique selling point.During this launch period, my ex-assistant in China reached out to me that one of the factories I used to work with had closed down and their account manager was looking for a job. I decided to hire her as I had a great working relationship with her and we needed someone in China that we could trust and rely on.With the 3 of us wearing multiple hats, we started Bryden!Describe the process of launching the business.When we first started, it was only the two of us and we worked out of my living room to keep our costs as low as possible to give ourselves more runway.We are blessed to be doing business in Singapore as our government is very supportive of startups. At that time, they had a scheme where they rebate 160% of your equipment & software purchases required for your business. This rebate was capped at $15,000 and 60% after the $15,000 limit. We used our personal savings to purchase laptops and other equipment & software and got $9000 free capital and free equipment to launch our business.As I had prior experience from my previous jobs and we didn’t have to build a physical product, the speed of our launch was pretty fast.imageOur first websiteOur first step was to create a presentable looking website which we used Strikingly for the ease of use and that cost us $192. For the photos, I reused the professional photos of the factory & products from my previous company and spent $0 on that.With a working website, the next step was to find customers. As we didn’t have the budget for paid advertising, we manually build an email list of 1000 brands & send personalised emails with our offer. After working through the whole list, we only managed to get 2 customers from that list. The 1 month spent on doing this wasn’t scalable and worth the time and effort. With the doubts creeping and our hope diminishing, we had to quickly brainstorm and find other ideas to acquire customers.While researching, I read a lot of Hubspot’s blog articles about inbound marketing and realised that we should put ourselves in the shoes of our customer and simulate what they would do if they were looking for a supplier. It would be easier to get a customer if they have the intent and we could be easily found.imageOne of the questions I answered on Quora.We started using related keywords of what our customers would potentially use to search on google and begin posting on websites and directories that appeared in the search results. Answering questions on Quoraand forums for anything related to creating a clothing brand also helped to bring in significantly more traffic and customers and we got 11 customers in 1 month after using these methods.The biggest lesson from our launch we learned was that we need to think in the customer’s shoes and test as much as possible to find out the best platforms to acquire customers.Since launch, what has worked to attract and retain customers?From the lessons learned during our launch, speaking to our customers and analyzing our website traffic, we found that the combination of inbound marketing with a great looking website optimised for converting leads was the biggest factor in attracting customers.A lot of customers shared that the reason they worked with us was that our website looks legit compared to our competitors. The website also gave them the impression that we would be a good fit and could really manufacture what they wanted to do.With that feedback, we upgraded from a single page site to multi-page site on wordpress to optimise for better conversion rates. Our new site was very heavy on pictures and branding as we wanted to create an experience that visitors would remember and associate with quality.We added more photos of our work and highlighted our portfolio, providing relevant content to what they are looking for like the manufacturing process and client reviews.For acquisition channels, we tested Facebook, Instagram and Google Ads. Google Ads proved to be a real game changer for us as it brought in much more leads faster than other methods.Our strategy for Google Ads was to buy all the relevant keywords with search volumes over 500 monthly. We also include phases that people might use like “Good quality clothing manufacturer” so that we could capture more long tail search terms as they were cheaper than popular search terms like “clothing manufacturer”.We further optimise the campaigns by adding negative keywords which create better quality leads as we got a lot of people asking us if they could do 1-2 pieces per design.Facebook Ads didn’t work too well for us as we found the audience there were not looking for anything in particular and were just curious about our ads.Instagram also didn’t work as we got too many messages from people who weren’t serious. We also received plenty of spam messages from other factories, which I found really strange at first as it seems they didn’t even look at our profile and know we are essentially competitors.With that said, we are still looking to use these platforms in the future with different strategies as I think these platforms could be used more effectively for awareness or educational campaigns.As most people got to know about us through Google, SEO & content marketing is one of the initiatives we have taken with the long term strategy of using it to reduce our Google Ads costs.We tried working with an agency but they disappeared on us even before we started. From then on, I took it upon myself to learn about it and do it in house.imageChecking on the pattern measurements before the clothes are assembled.As the reputation of our company depends on the product quality and service we provide to our customers, we are very strict with the quality and perform quality checks at each crucial juncture of the process. Our team in China checks the fabrics, trims and prints before the garments are assembled to weed out as many issues before we do a last check once everything is complete.Although these extra checks make timelines a bit longer, we are at least safeguarding both our client’s and our interest and our suppliers are kept on their toes.How are you doing today and what does the future look like?Our revenue has grown every year since we started and I was really happy to reach my personal goal of building a million dollar company (In Singapore Dollars) last year.In our 2nd year, our revenue grew by 456%, 39% in our 3rd year and 70% in the 4th year. We have not been profitable for the past 2 years due to the rise in our marketing & operating expenses to pursue our 5 year growth strategy.The main goal for this and next year is to chase profitability and we have started on our plans to reduce our operating expenses by 25% while trying to increase our lead pipeline by 100%. We plan to do this by optimising what is currently working well for us and to testing new channels like PR, networking and revisiting social media with a new strategy.imageIn the last 2 months, we have seen an increase in visits from our SEO efforts and paid advertisements. We average about 10,000 visitors a month with a conversion rate of 4.5%.My personal plan is to delegate more of the operational aspects to my staff and focus more on strategy, marketing and searching for new growth or collaboration opportunities that will also benefit our customers. One of the challenges for myself this year is to be proficient in SEO so that I can also help other fellow entrepreneurs in the future.Through starting the business, have you learned anything particularly helpful or advantageous?While it’s great to be ambitious, on hindsight it would be wiser to expand it in a scalable way. As our sales grew exponentially (550%) in our 2nd year, we were struggling to keep up with our new clients & orders. I made the mistake of over-hiring & hiring too quickly, thinking that the new hires will be able to help us to take on more orders and expand the company.However, the sudden influx of new people in a short period of time had the opposite effect. Without the time and a systematic approach to onboard & train the new guys, there were a lot of confusion which slowed down our operations and consequently our cash flow cycles.I believed that the key reasons for our growth was having a flexible and open mindset to change. In the beginning, I wasn’t too keen on using paid advertising as I had a few friends who told me it was a waste of money. However as I have always been inquisitive, I decided to test it for myself and found a winning formula with google adwords that spiked up our sales significantly.As the numbers of our clients grew, their needs & requirements also became more diverse. Instead of sticking to what we know and are good at, we decided to listen to them and expand our sourcing capabilities & product lines. This change led to an increase of the average revenue per customer and help us to reach our revenue goals without having the constant pressure to acquire more customers.What platform/tools do you use for your business?Website: Wordpress / Woocommerce Email: GsuiteEmail Marketing: MailchimpAnalytics: Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HotjarAds: AdwordsSEO: SemRush / Yoast / Keywords EverywhereAccounting: XeroProject Management: TeambitionCRM: HubspotPayments: FlywireOnline Agreements: HellosignAutomation / Productivity: ZapierCloud Storage: Onedrive / Google DriveWhat have been the most influential books, podcasts, or other resources?I read The Art of War when I was a teenager and it remains as one of the books that has the largest influence on how I think and approach solving problems in daily life. It resonates with my belief that there is more than 1 way of solving a problem if you can be creative.Other books that I read and found inspiration from are Everything Store by Jeff Bezos, The Art of Less Doing, 4 Hour Work Week, 10x Marketing Formula by Gareth Moon & No Man’s Land by Doug Tatum.Advice for other entrepreneurs who want to get started or are just starting out?Business is not for the faint-hearted and the journey will be long and tough. You will need a sense of bravado as you won’t have the answers for everything and no one might be able to give you the right answers.Mistakes will be definitely be made and instead of looking at them as failures, turn them into something positive.I look at them as being “upgrades” on my acumen as without learning from my mistakes, I will be in a better position to make the right choice on decisions in the future that could have a bigger impact.My last piece of advice is that It’s always better to be in motion than to be stuck in limbo.Are you looking to hire for certain positions right now?Currently, we are not looking to hire but we may be looking for a dedicated operations person in the near future. If you like helping brands and being involved in turning ideas into products we will love to chat!Where can we go to learn more?Website: https://brydenapparel.comIf you have any questions or comments, drop a comment below!Liked this text interview?

Connected Clothing: Raye Padit

As a voice for conscious fashion, Raye Padit is motivated by the belief that one person’s actions, no matter how small, holds great impact. This core ideal has driven him to start his three passion projects: Connected Threads Asia, PeyaR, and Swapaholic. Raye co-heads Connected Threads Asia - a platform connecting fashion designers, manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers, to create a lasting conversation around the culture of sustainable fashion. He is also the face behind PeyaR, a design label with a focus on bespoke apparel made through upcycled pre-consumer textiles. He began Swapaholic, his most recent venture, for people to exchange their clothes and build their closet without adding to the waste of the fashion industry.

Raye cycles through a closet of 47 items, believes only in the bare necessities, and keeps a giant jar of coins because he hates carrying around change in his pockets. This minimalistic approach guides his everyday. His room is vibrantly cluttered, with posters from past concerts he’s been to, sketches of clothing he wants to design one day, and notes from friends. Everything tacked onto his pristine walls has a story behind it. Though it isn’t minimal, it has the same sentiment - everything he keeps matters to him, and it holds an irreplaceable significance.

How did Connected Threads come about?

When I started the Fashion Revolution events in Singapore, I soon realized that it lacked continuity. I wanted to create a platform for people to learn more about ethical fashion, that way even after the event ended people would still have a way to support the cause. This ambition led to Connected Threads - we wanted to explore the side of fashion beyond the surface of glamour and expression. To encourage consumer responsibility, we would host events and documentary screenings as a way of building a community beyond the aesthetics of clothing.

When I started the Fashion Revolution events in Singapore, I soon realized that it lacked continuity.

What were you doing before you started Connected Threads?

I worked in marketing, and I was happy with my job - but I always knew I wanted more. Growing up, my mum loved fashion and she would attend special events on occasion. Whenever this was the case, she would go through the lengthy process of finding inspiration from magazines, picking out fabrics, going to the seamstress to have it made - and I would be by her side through it all watching the magic unfold as an idea went from fabric to dress. At a young age, I already knew that I wanted to work with fashion, and so I began doing internships with local designers and eventually moved into the ethical fashion industry.

Tell us more about how you started your new online clothes-swap platform Swapaholic, and how that has evolved now.

Swapaholic was actually a result of Connected Threads. As Connected Threads grew I felt that an exchange of ideas was simply not enough, and I wanted to do something tangible to contribute to the movement. I began exchanging clothes with my close friends as a way to get new clothes. But I soon came to realize that on a larger scale, I was able to build my wardrobe without adding more waste to the fashion industry.

When we began, the biggest challenge was the stigma behind swapping clothes. Some people saw it as an exchange of hand me downs, even though every piece brought in is as good as new. Now, there’s a change in mindset towards clothes-swapping, and there’s a growing interest as people realize they can open up their options. What I’ve been doing now is small-scale events, but the bigger picture is to create an online platform by next year to make it more accessible.

I try to think beyond consuming and instead focus on how can I make an impact without adding to the waste.

How has your style evolved since you came into ethical fashion?

I think it is more accurate to say that my behaviour towards clothes has changed. I used to want only what looks good on me, but now that I’ve become more conscious of my environmental impact, I try to think beyond consuming and instead focus on how can I make an impact without adding to the waste. As a designer, I have the liberty to conceptualise my own designs. With the creativity and resourcefulness of this job, I am limitless with the limited resources.

Nowadays, I try to minimise the amount of clothes I have in my wardrobe. Because really, how often will I wear all these clothes when I always go back to the few pieces that I am most comfortable in? 

What is your ideal closet?

Currently, I have a capsule closet. I was inspired by a movement in the States where people would rotate between 33 pieces of clothing every 3 months. In that timeframe, what you have is your staple and you don’t add to it. I decided to take that same idea but tailor it for my lifestyle. Instead of changing my closet every 3 months - I’ve changed it up so that I own only 50 pieces. Currently, I have 47 pieces, including my underwear and socks, and I feel like I already have my ideal closet. 

I’ve curated set looks and uniforms for certain occasions, and it helps me focus on things that are more meaningful to me. The only thing I’m missing is a two-piece upcycled suit. But the nature of upcycled fabric makes it difficult to reconcile the pattern with a clean-cut shirt, and so I have yet to find a tailor willing to take on this project.

My high school chemistry teacher once told me that a person should always have two things on them at all times: a rosary and a handkerchief.

Is there a favourite piece in your closet that you always turn to?

I don’t have a favourite, but out of all the pieces I own it’s my uniform shirt that gets the most wear. I designed it myself, and it’s a staple in my closet. I prefer custom-made clothes, and a large portion of the garments I own reflect that. I also mirror this in all my designs - I refuse to make anything that has already been created, even if it was a past design of mine I still like to add extra details to make it unique.

I can’t say this is another favourite, perhaps more of an essential - something I always carry on me is a hanky. My high school chemistry teacher once told me that a person should always have two things on them at all times: a rosary and a handkerchief. It sort of became my rule to live by. As a kid, my mom would never buy me handkerchiefs no matter how much I asked her to, and so I ended up taking them from my dad’s collection. Now of course I get my own, I used to have a collection of 12 handkerchiefs but it’s dwindled down to 3 - it’s so easy to lose them!

Nowadays, I try to minimise the amount of clothes I have in my wardrobe. Because really, how often will I wear all these clothes when I always go back to the few pieces that I am most comfortable in? 

What is the statement you wish to make with your clothes?

I always tell my clients “you should wear you.” Do not be blinded by mainstream messages. What works for others might not work for you and that’s okay, when you choose what works for you, it will empower you and make you feel confident.

When I design for my clients, I prefer to meet with them first to learn more about who they are, what they wear, and why they wear what they wear. There is no point to creating pieces that they will only wear once. I want to create pieces that fit their lifestyle, and I want it to be timeless.

Out of all your designs, which are your favourite works?

It’s a tie between two dresses. There’s a silver dress I made out of boredom, which I love because there’s so much complexity that went into designing it in detail, and yet it drapes so effortlessly. The other dress is a wedding gown I made for a client, her fiancé had recently passed on but she wanted a dress anyways to keep as a memory of him and what they shared.

Final question. If your house is on fire, what are five things you would save, even if it means running back into a burning house?

My passport, my laptop, all my clothes (it’s all or nothing,) my sewing machine, and books.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND CLOTHING MANUFACTURERS FOR YOUR COMPANY?

If you are a retailer considering contacting a bulk clothing manufacturer, here is what you need to know about the best. In this blog, we will look at how bulk clothing manufacturers ensure that your business stays on top.

This will keep you on your feet and informed about what to expect from the manufacturer. It will also teach you to appreciate the effort that bulk clothing manufacturers make to ensure the profitability of your retail store.

Here are three of the most diligent things they do to accomplish this: System of rapid delivery

Delivery is one of the most important aspects of the bulk ordering process, so it stands to reason that manufacturers priorities it. Any successful business should always be the first to introduce new products, which is why it is critical to select a manufacturer who adheres to deadlines.

The best way to ensure that your manufacturing hub runs on time is to clear things out earlier. Many of them provide bulk delivery charge discounts and free services up to a certain distance, so take advantage of that.

Creating a creative environment.

To be creative, ensure that a manufacturer is open to new design concepts for products in its catalogue. The best design suggestions from retailers are always implemented in the custom collection of their bulk orders by top manufacturers.

Choosing a manufacturer with a large business network will simplify the process and allow you to relax about the logistics.

What makes that so wonderful?

Because you can finally gain an advantage over your retail competitors by developing a collection that is both unique and of high quality. Having your own distinct style on the clothing racks will increase the value of your brand in the long run!

Giving opportunity

There is a lot to consider when it comes to having the best collection and quality in your clothing shelves. Many of the top manufacturers have high minimum order quantities and will not accept orders below them.

However, some are visionary enough to want to build a large network, which adds to the intrigue. When you have the ability to manufacture from the best, even with the smallest MOQs, your business will invariably improve.

These are the three things that the best sublimation clothing manufacturers do to ensure the best results for your company. So, if your manufacturer falls short, don't be afraid to change and look for something better!
