When you book an appointment with us, you can tell us what it is you&#8217;re looking for and we can help you narrow down products by fit, color options, materials, and more. Whether you need something in the perfect shade of teal or a shirt that will fit a group of all ages and sizes, no one knows our products like our store reps. For both in-person and virtual appointments, swatch books are available so you can see the colors and fabrics of shirts you&#8217;re considering. According to Preston Mercer, Store Manager at our Dallas store, &#8220;We also ask about the kind of shirts you like to wear, what you\u2019re currently wearing, and what\u2019s in your wardrobe\u2013the brands, to help us narrow down what you\u2019re looking for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get expert design help<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not an artist? No problem. We can help you bring your vision to life, or even come up with a vision! Our store reps know the ins and outs of great t-shirt design and can help you with selecting art, fonts, and ink colors that will really pop on the color product you choose. Fun fact: before Preston was a store manager, he worked in production for Custom Ink, so he&#8217;s a pro at the ins and outs of what goes into making a great t-shirt. He feels like he&#8217;s seen a lot of shirts throughout his life that he wishes were better\u2014such as shirts for sale at a brewery or shirts for an event that just miss the mark. In his role, he\u2019s proud to help customers make something that everyone loves.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-22544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-860x645.png 860w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-680x510.png 680w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-500x375.png 500w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-250x188.png 250w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-100x75.png 100w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-76x57.png 76w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help-50x38.png 50w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Design-help.png 1176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>&#8220;What I like to do is have the ability to help them make choices that really match their community so the design is elevated, the product is elevated, and overall the community is a lot happier with the options they have,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I want you to make a shirt that everyone keeps in their closet forever. Shirts are available almost everywhere for any reason but [there are] only a few shirts that stay in my closet\u2014because what\u2019s on it means a lot to me and the design represents that meaning in a great way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s fun!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t love to get their creative juices flowing? An appointment with Custom Ink means looking through tons of great products, selecting colors you love, and coming up with a design that will bring you joy. When you tell us more about your group or event, we\u2019ll help you brainstorm funny sayings, unique themes, and witty designs to put on your shirts. We like to think that by the time we\u2019re done helping you create your custom products, it\u2019s like you just spent an hour with friends.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We can help you from anywhere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re practicing social distancing and still want help, or you don\u2019t live particularly close to a Custom Ink store, our virtual appointments bring us to you. We can set up a video call with you so that you can show us shirts you like to wear, and we can show you products we have in store. We can easily hold them up to the screen and with our swatch books, you can see the vast range of color options to pick from. Working face to face from afar still gives you the benefit of working with a rep where you can discuss design ideas and fun slogans to put on a shirt.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-22542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Swatch-book.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"284\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Swatch-book.jpg 284w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Swatch-book-250x135.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Swatch-book-200x108.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Swatch-book-100x54.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Swatch-book-76x41.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Swatch-book-50x27.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/><br \/>\nIf a single face to face appointment isn\u2019t exactly what you need, we can set up your appointment to be a phone call where we go over the initial things you\u2019re looking for. Then, we\u2019re happy to chat with you again and again until we\u2019ve found the design and product you want. According to Preston, virtual visits can work for anyone and can save a lot of back and forth via email. And, you still get to collaborate with us so you can be confident in your final product selection.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We love to work with you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re probably the coolest nerds you\u2019ve ever met\u2014we\u2019re real people, we\u2019re not just salespeople here to help you place an order,\u201d says Preston. \u201cWe want to get to know you and want you to get to know us. That\u2019s what we like to do and it\u2019s why we\u2019re in the business we are\u2014we want to know you and your group or organization and what makes you all special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of Preston&#8217;s favorite memories is when he first started working in-store. A customer came in who was going on a family skiing trip and wanted to customize t-shirts to make the occasion extra special. Since her kids and their friends were coming along, it needed to be something to fit multiple personalities. She and Preston sat to discuss what the trip would be like, to which she said there would be skiing and some drinking. They brainstormed ideas by starting with a mountain design and throwing different elements together. They were having so much fun that another rep overheard and came to join in and help. Together, they came up with a &#8220;whiskii on the rocks&#8221; design.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was blown away. We all came together and came up with this wonderful design and she was thrilled, she was just so happy,&#8221; says Preston. &#8220;That was one of my first experiences that I was like, &#8216;Man what we\u2019re doing here is just so special.&#8217;\u201d One of the best parts, he adds, is how fulfilling it is to know that the shirts will get printed and shipped off to customers and that they get to open them and relive the excitement all over again. &#8220;She&#8217;ll get to see her family in them, and the shirt is what they get to take away after that vacation\u2014it&#8217;s the reminder of that trip.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We\u2019re committed to your safety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Appointments are strongly encouraged to make sure we have a spot for you if you\u2019d like to visit us in-store.
