Quality Labeling Enhances Sampling Tool

Quality Labeling Enhances Sampling Tool

Product samples require quality labeling to make them effective sales tools. Whether your customers are browsing through swatch cards, sample books, memo samples, hanging samples, or a special display, the label that accompanies the sampling tool must include all pertinent information about the sample. This information may include the name of the manufacturer, the fabric content, color, pattern, repeat, cleaning code, and any special characteristics the buyer should know. For example, the label could inform buyers if certain slubs or textures are inherent characteristics and not defects in the material. All of this information is essential in helping the customer select the best fabric for their intended use.

Showcase Your Samples in Waterfall Presentations

Showcase Your Samples in Waterfall Presentations

If your company is looking for an eye catching way to showcase fabrics, a waterfall presentation may be the answer. A waterfall presentation in the sample industry means that the fabrics are set so that each sample partially covers the next one to create a cascading effect. Usually the bottom sample is glued down, and then the next one is glued at the top edge, overlapping the first sample and hanging freely. Subsequent samples repeat the sequence creating an effect similar to roofing shingles. This arrangement of textile samples can help clients more easily identify choices that appeal to them.

Fan decks are an excellent way to organize and showcase a large textile collection. They can be customized so that fabrics are presented to their best advantage and shoppers can easily compare colors and textures. Fan decks are constructed so that they “fan” out for best viewing. Clients are able to feel the fabric samples and evaluate aspects such as weight, color, and texture for themselves. Professional fan decks are easy to display in the showroom, and their compact sizes require less space to store when not needed.

What Are Sample Books?

What Are Sample Books?

A sample book is a way to gather and display a number of pieces of fabric, wallpaper, etc. so that customers can closely examine the product and choose what to buy. It is a convenient way to professionally showcase particular product line options that may be available in various colors, textures, patterns, or finishes. A sample book is typically bound or fastened at one edge. People often browse through sample books when choosing upholstery fabrics and trims, window treatments, carpeting, and wallpaper. The client is actually able to touch and feel the product via the sample book. This helps people make a more informed buying decision.
