Spotlight on JonesTshirts.com


 
 
Over the years we’ve heard about the many success stories of people who’ve started a business out of their basement or garage.  Well, Scott Jones is another one of those success stories.  He started out by selling shirts he tie-dyed in his basement.  As his business grew, so did the amount of time he spent making them in his basement.  Due to the time commitment, he decided he wanted to offer a product that didn’t involve any production on his end, and became a wholesale blank t-shirt supplier.

JonesTshirts.com carries a wide range of blank t-shirts.  You will find a multitude of colors along with varying styles such as V-neck, scoop-neck and crew-neck.  Some of the many brands that they offer include Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, Gildan, Jerzees, Anvil, Adidas, Champion, and Izod to name a few.  T-shirts are not the only products that JonesTshirts.com carries.  They also sell polo shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, hats and bags.  You can purchase a single item or buy in bulk. Either way, you will be able to take advantage of their incredibly low prices.  All of JonesTshirts.com’s products are sold blank, so the buyer has the option of adding a logo or screen printing them at a later date.

JonesTshirts.com utilizes Email Contact to send out newsletters once a week to announce special offers, send out a new promo code and introduce new products.  JonesTshirts.com says, “For a while, we didn't send newsletters as often as I would have liked. That all changed on Cyber Monday when we had an overwhelming response to our email regarding our Cyber Monday Deals. We had about 7 times as many orders that day than we did on a typical day. Since then we have been sending newsletters more regularly, and I really think it helps keep us fresh in the minds of our customers. Our list is constantly growing so each time we do an email blast, we have better results than the time before.”
To learn more about all of the wonderful products that JonesTshirts.com has to offer, check out their website and you will fall in love with their Wholesale T-Shirts.  Also, be sure to check out their Facebook page where JonesTshirts.com has Free T-Shirt Fridays.  Every Friday there’s a winner, and this Friday it could be you!

Spotlight on Cherrywood Fabrics


  
Sewers and quilters are always on an endless quest to find the right fabric.  They walk into a fabric store and look at every bolt of fabric trying to find the right shade or print to use in their current and future projects.  Cherrywood Fabrics has made that quest a little easier with their exclusive line of hand-dyed fabric featuring the look of suede.

Cherrywood Fabrics was started in the basement of Dawn Hall, who passed away ten years ago.  Dawn had taken a class in hand-dyeing and she started to bring some of her work with her to quilt shows, and it took off from there.  Cherrywood Fabrics is now owned by Karla Overland and Linda Arganbright, and has grown to include a new website called Che FAB.  Cherrywood Fabrics is now located in a large, old house where they ship fabric all over the world.  Karla and Linda sell mainly to quilters, designers, textile artists and quilt shops.  They do not operate a retail store front, so check out their websites or the various quilt shows they attend every year.

Cherrywood Fabrics applies their privately designed line of colors to high quality fabrics to offer their customers the best product for their creative needs.   The hand dyeing process they’ve developed produces a beautiful tone-on-tone texture that reads as a solid, but has depth and variety not found in other solids.  They come up with all the color combinations and develop all of the dye formulas themselves.  They are able to dye up to 200 yards of fabric a day.  There are no machines involved in the making of these beautiful fabrics and there isn’t a commercially printed fabric out there that can compare to the richness and softness of Cherrywood. 
 

They sell their fabric in bundles of 4 or 8 different colors that are dyed in gradation.  The bundles can be purchased as fat quarters, ½ yard or full yard.  Cherrywood Fabrics also carries yardage in cotton, rayon and corduroy fabric.  Their product line doesn’t stop with fabric!  They also sell hand-dyed shirts that have the look of suede, patterns and kits, variegated thread and ‘cherry rolls.’


Cherrywood Fabrics uses Email Contact to send newsletters to their customers once a month.  They let their customers know about the new colorways they have developed, the new patterns and kits they have added to their inventory, and announce any promotional events and include a schedule of where they can be seen.  Karla said, “We get people signing up for our newsletter every day.  Before this, we had no means to reach out and get a message to customers spread all over the world. Not everyone can get to see us at a quilt show, and this is the best way to still provide customer service to people.”

If you would like to read more about this fascinating company, or check out their beautiful line of fabrics, visit their website, or ‘like’ them on Facebook.  Who knows, they might just have the fabric you’ve been searching for!  Cherrywood Fabrics has generously offered to send a FREE charm pack of 5” squares from their exclusive “Minnesota Bundle” to anyone who mentions the code EC412 when placing an order on Che FAB or Cherrywood Fabrics websites.

The bitters of the aloe have been used traditionally for detoxification of the body and have been found to have anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

Spotlight on House of Tatouage

HOUSE OF TATOUAGE


The hottest new trends in interior design are wall words and tatouage murals. Most of us have been in a home or office that had a catchy phrase painted on the wall.  Some of us have seen bedroom walls turned into a jungle or the bottom of the ocean. Traditionally these were reserved for the more upscale homes due to the cost involved in having a professional artist come and paint your walls.  Now, however, we can achieve the same professional looking results with significantly less cost and effort by using tatouage.  Tatouage is a home decor product made of a high resolution dry rub transfer. It can be applied to almost any hard surface, especially walls.  Tatouage is used without any fumes, glue, water, paint and especially without any mess!

 
Angela Bowker discovered a passion for these products when she put them in her new home.  She loved them so much and received so many compliments on her wall décor that she just had to get involved in helping others have the same type of experience.  So, eight years ago House of Tatouage was born.



House of Tatouage has a wide range of non-toxic and environmentally safe wall décor products to offer. Just some of the many products that they carry include word art phrases, Disney decals and murals, wall borders, peel and stick decals and decorative window décor that gives you a great way to add privacy to ordinary windows, glass doors, and shower enclosures.  Some of their tatouage designs include forest themes, garden themes, trees, tropical themes, underwater themes, animals and architectural elements to name a few.  They have something for every room in a house or place of business.  Check out House of Tatouage today and before you know it, you could easily turn your child’s room into an undersea adventure land or a field full of flowers.
 
House of Tatouage uses Email Contact to send out newsletters once a week to notify their customers of special sales, new designs and contests they are having on their website.  They also use their newsletters to periodically offer special promotions to their customer database that the normal visitor will not see when they visit the website.  Angela says, “It has been a great blessing to have such a quick and easy means to communicate our weekly specials, new designs or special contests to our customers. It has also allowed us to increase our customer base as our newsletters are forwarded to others and as visitors are able to sign up on our site instantly for our notices.”
