We tested Item number BG-8213 and the ladies coordinate BG-6213 in Kiwi and Red.  After 25 washes, they held the color extemly well.  While 2 shirts lost buttons, the overall durability was excellent.  The red shirt did bleed a little on to a white tee shirt that we included in the wash cycle.

We found prices across the board.  When asked how much would it be to buy 24 shirts, one supplier was as high as $37.99, plus an additional $7.99 for an embroidered logo.  Another vendor was offering them online for $21.65 with up to 6,000 stitches of embroidery, plue $125 for an embroidery tape.  When we asked our sponsor, Indianapolis supplier of embroidery and logo apparel, Professional Gifting for a price, they directed us to their special offer for a free tape and said they would do the order for $21 per shirt.

In general, the Blue Generation line can best be described as:

• Affordability, 10 out of 10
• Quality level, 8 out of 10
• Color Selection, 10 for 10
• Durability, 9 for 10

While we are on the theme of electronics, here is a new item and design that is new to premium markets.  First, I must say that this concept is a winner.  IPOD’s are continuously gaining more and more users.  And while many people think of Ipods as music devices, they are starting to gain favor for training, educating customers, podcasting, carrying digital files, etc, etc, etc…  Here is one creative use.  Offer one of these devises to your employees with the understanding that they will be receiving important company information that they need to agree to listen to.  Then have all of your office policies relayed by podcast.  These will get uploaded every time they connect to a company computer.  Then a questionaire would be sent out to your employee that would require them to confirm that they have listened to and agree with the company message.  This is a huge legal benefit to the company and a nice perk for the employee.  How about this as a recruiting tool at job fairs?  Would the words “Receive your free IPOD” get attention?
