Rethink the Tshirt

As agritourism farms, most NAFDMA members are always looking for new, meaningful items to carry in their retail stores.  Most don't want trinkets that can be found at any gift shop, but want to provide options for a customer to remember their day of fun on the farm, while having something they can regularly use. 



AllThread Ink has developed a product that can fit this need and give inspiration for other options. In their own words:


Do you have customers browse your selection of T shirts and hoodies and not make a purchase? They might like your logo or the art, but they do not want another shirt in their closet. Instead of missing the sale, offer them a printed flour sack towel. We have folding and banding options that help make a great display and they do not take up a lot of space. If you take a small bushel basket and put it close to the cash register. you will be amazed at how many towels you sell in a season. This is easy continuous income. Connect with us, email a purchase order, and the towels arrive printed and ready for display. The towel with banding and shipping plus art (depending on the colors and detail) will cost around $3.00 each for a 100 quantity, retail $9.00 to $12.00. Most seasonal stores can sell several hundred printed towels and most of our customers have been working with us 10+ years.  Once they start selling printed flour sack towels, it's a no-brainer to continue.
