AWMA’s Custom Silkscreening Services can fit you with stylish, high quality martial arts gear that’s every bit as unique as you are.
That goes for every martial art and almost every aspect of martial arts. Are you a gym owner who wants to add a personalized touch to your facilities and strengthen brand recognition? An instructor or coach looking for new ways to boost team spirit and strengthen your community? A business owner on the hunt for cool new merch? A martial artist looking to put your own mark on your gear? AWMA has you covered.
Here are six ways that AWMA’s Custom Silkscreening Services can up your game and your style.
Team Uniforms
Custom silkscreened gis and doboks have the power to strengthen your team and intimidate your competition.
On the team-building front, high quality martial arts uniforms that feature your gym or team’s name and logo are a great tool for fostering community. They help students and athletes feel like they’re part of something bigger than themselves, and encourage them to work together toward common goals. Wearing sleek looking gear that celebrates their affiliation might also make some martial artists feel cooler and more legit. When you start adding these confidence boosts up, you’ve got a collection of martial artists who feel as unified and polished as they look.
That united front can also be used to psyche out other teams in competitions and tournaments. Custom silkscreened printed uniforms signal to your opponents that you take your team and your training seriously, and you’re ready to represent them.
For an added touch, you can also invest in custom sillkscreened clothing that features your logo, like hoodies, shorts, and hats. This enables coaches, family, and friends can show their support, too.
Gym Equipment
Custom silkscreened equipment is an excellent marketing tool for martial arts gyms. Personalized martial arts training gear like strike shields that feature your logo will make your gym slick and professional — and will make it look great in photos that you can use for your website, socials, and advertising. This polished look can catch the eye of potential new clients and signify to them that your gym offers the best equipment and facilities. Well maintained custom gear can also help retain students, because it shows them that you’re committed to providing that standard of quality over the long term.
Plus it just looks cool.
Sensory Friendly Gear
Custom embroidery on martial arts uniforms and clothing looks amazing, too. But even the softest, highest quality tread can feel uncomfortable or scratchy for martial artists who have sensitive skin or sensory issues involving texture.
AWMA’s custom silkscreening gives you the same high quality and design and execution as AWMA’s custom embroidery services, but with an even softer finish. It’s a great alternative for anyone who struggles with embroidered gear, but still wants to represent their team. Silkscreened gear and clothing can help those martial artists train and compete as comfortably as possible, so that they can focus on doing their best.
Merch
Custom silkscreened merch can have a number of valuable benefits for martial arts gyms. Selling personalized clothing and accessories that represent your dojo is a good secondary revenue stream for small businesses. Creating products that feature your school’s logo, name, or even a phrase that has taken on a special meaning for your crew can also strengthen the sense of community at your gym. It’s another way that your students can feel like they’re a part of something — and share it with the outside world. For added engagement, you can even involve students in the early stages of the planning process to see what kind of merch and designs speak to them.
Merch can be an effective marketing tool, as well. A student who loves your gym enough to buy a branded a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or gear bag and wear it with pride has the potential to be an excellent walking billboard. And they’re likely to talk up how much they like their gym if anyone asks them about the designs.
Swag
You don’t have to sell custom silkscreened products to benefit from them. Personalized clothing and accessories make great swag, too.
There are a number of different ways that you can use customized items to promote your gym or organization. Gym owners can use them as a signup bonus for new members. A gear bag with your organization’s logo on it can have both symbolic and practical applications. It welcomes new students into the community and gives them exactly what they’ll need to carry their new gear in.
Smaller silkscreened items like hand towels that feature your business’s name and other pertinent details can be great promotional items, too. Handing them out at tournaments, conventions, or events in your community is a great way to spread the word about your work and make a good impression on prospective clients.
Tournament Gear and Gifts
Customized apparel and accessories are also useful for anyone who is running tournaments or other one-off events. A commemorative t-shirt that features the event’s name and date makes a nice addition to a registration package. Providing staff and volunteers with customized t-shirts or sweatshirts will make them more visible on the big day. And everything runs a little more smoothly when participants, coaches, and supporters know where to go for help and information. This clothing can double as a nice thank you gift to volunteers at the end of the event. And every time someone wears their tournament swag they’ll be spreading awareness for the next one.
