SanMar : From the Desk of Marty Lott

Summer is a great time to grow your business. With all the company picnics, golf tournaments, community events and family reunions, your customers need your expert advice, products and services. And we're here to help you make them happy with t-shirts, duffels, jackets and much more!

At SanMar June means we're finishing up our annual full-line Apparel, Bags & Caps catalog. With nearly 1,000 products—including over 185 new choices—the 2011 edition is our largest catalog ever. Be sure and check out the imprintable cover options in the Marketing Tools Spotlight and pre-order your copies now. The 2011 Apparel, Bags & Caps catalog will arrive in early August—just in time for crucial fourth quarter selling.

In this issue of Fabric, we explore social media and offer suggestions on using Facebook to help build your business. Whether you have a Facebook page for your business or you're new to social media, our valuable tips will help you make the most of this exciting business opportunity.

Rounding out this issue is our top 10 t-shirts. From our new Tie-Dye Tees to our classic Essential T-Shirt, one is sure to fit your clients to a tee. (Pardon the pun.)

Until next time, I wish you a safe, happy and profitable summer.
