Outdoor Cap has been recognized as one of the Greatest Companies To Work For by PPAI. Each year Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) finds the best places to work in the promotional products industry across thousands of supplier and distributor companies by surveying employees at those companies across benefits, resources, culture, leadership, and overall company direction. The winners each year have the highest marks from their respective employees.
We've attended a lot of trade shows so far this year and enjoyed seeing so many people and talking about our favorite things (caps)! Here’s a quick summary of our trade shows in 2023.
We’ve released the Spring 2023 Market Guide available for download for you and your customers! Here is a breakdown of what you will find in the guide.
When it comes to promo products, you know that it all comes down to the value added to what you do. It’s a little harder to measure impressions on a physical item than it is for digital ads. Still, ASI’s study shows that one hat generates about 3,136 impressions in its estimated lifetime of 7 months with its wearer (and we’ve found some people keep their hats for up to 4 years).
There's a secret that highly successful distributors know. Ready for it? Headwear is a gateway to new business.
After a successful two and half years as Director of Promotional Sales, Outdoor Cap is pleased to announce that Jenny Straub is now the Director of Strategic Partnerships.
This newly created role allows Straub the chance to focus on cultivating new and exciting relationships that grow sales for Outdoor Cap and its distributors.
Heading into 2022, the headwear experts here at Outdoor Cap are continuing to expand and improve our headwear selection. Being one of the largest companies building headwear today, we are committed to give our customers a wide range of high quality caps to select from. We give customers the best hat possible to match and fit their logo so they can wear their brand proudly while being comfortable and stylish. The hat experts at Outdoor Cap consider each and every hat made here a piece of art. Our research and development team works hard to make sure each piece of art is up to date with today and tomorrow's trends. Headwear preferences can change drastically through time, but the need for a high quality, well-fitting cap remains year in and year out.
As we begin the new year, we have twelve new stock styles our customers can chose from. The new OC771PF and the new OC504 are great styles to wear while being active as they are equipped with a wicking sweatband and are both made with a resilient polyester fabric. We have also added two new camo patterned styles with an American flag theme. Three of the twelve new styles are knits that are ideal to wear during the cold winter months. These styles that can keep your head and ears warm on a chilly day are the OC806, OC807, and the OC808. We also have added the OC902, which is an unstructured hat with a heavy washed patch. It allows you to have the relaxed cap feel with a turn-key embroidered patch look from a stock item. Our selection for lady caps has also grown by adding the OC770L. This cap based off of the OC770 is a great low profiled trucker cap for women. With structured mesh back caps now a mainstay in the headwear business, we have added some great styles that include the HPD-615M, the OC571, and the OC771P to our collection.
See bottom of post for a great social media pack!
Many of you may have seen the recent documentary, “The Social Dilemma,” a scary look at how some aspects of social media are damaging to society. It polarizes our news and our views. There are several similar films and media including “The Great Hack,” “Agents of Chaos,” “Black Mirror,” and others. All of these are trying to make sense of this social experiment we’ve stumbled upon called social media. If you have Gen-Z or Millennial children you have probably struggled with things like cyber bullying, screen time, social addiction, and inappropriate content much of your kids’ lives. You and many Americans may be thinking, maybe these networks aren’t all roses. And many of your customers are likely reconsidering where they put their ad dollars. I am here to share the most effective place for them to go.
