Want advice from thriving businesses on how to run your apparel business in uncertain times?

In this powerful episode of Apparel Academy, Ricoma CEO Henry Ma, sits down with embroidery businesses to discuss their current projects and their strategies and advice for other embroiderers during these uncertain times.

Meet our three businesses and Ricoma customers, Signco Designs, PINC GATOR GEAR & 5 Hearts Creations. Each business shares with Henry their current experience during these uncertain times, the challenges they have faced in the last couple months and their advice to fellow embroidery businesses on how to prepare themselves for when businesses re-open once again and how they’ve been able to adapt to the current situation.

Jason and Susanna Pierson, owners of 5 Heart Creations, have created over 650 face masks to donate to a local restaurant, who in turn feeds first responders on the front lines. Because of the exposure that their business received, they were able to secure accounts with other local businesses and leverage their previous relationships with customers to increase revenue.

With everything going on right now, it's important for business owners to take this extra time to continue to learn as much as they can about the business, their machinery and about what customers need right now in order to adapt your business to the times. For ideas about what your business can do right now, make sure to watch the episode above!
