An Edge Fashion Gallery
This pictorial feature explores opportunities for brand professionals to connect with their target audience by creating branded apparel, clothing solutions ideal for recreation.
How can you generate more brand impressions with corporate apparel?
Offer items with higher perceived value. This can be achieved through co-branding with valued retail brands, or investing in higher priced items, for example gifting a jacket instead of a T-shirt.
Stand out with superior performance. A favourite garment typically has a quality that vaults it into regular rotation over other options. What makes your branded merchandise stand out? Features like well-fitting (fashion), warmth (comfort), and weather protection (practical), are examples to consider.
