Motorcycle Patches: Research Will Help You Choose The Right Supplier

Motorcycle patches occupy a unique niche in the world of custom embroidered patches. They’re not just an ordinary patch. They represent a part of a biker’s identity, and their sense of self.

That’s because they’re more than just an indication of membership in a group of people who ride. They’re a declaration of brotherhood. You want the symbol of that brotherhood to stand out and be easily recognizable when you ride. You want first class products, made with the latest technology and finest quality materials.

It’s easy to find a good supplier for your (or your club’s) needs, with just a little bit of effort. You can get great products at great prices by following a few simple tips.

For starters, look for a supplier with a track record. You wouldn’t buy a bike from a company that just opened its doors a week ago, would you? You shouldn’t buy patches from someone who just set up a website, either.

A business that’s been around for a while is doing something right. It’s not hard to start a Web-based business these days. It’s easy to go for one-shot sales with no concern for repeat customers. It’s a lot tougher to stay in business long enough to establish a reputation for quality and fair pricing that leads to repeat customers. Loyalty brings rewards for business owners.

It really comes down to customer service. The Number One priority of any good supplier will be customer service. Expect that company to listen to you, and create the motorcycle patches YOU want. Ideally, you want to work with a company that has one or more riders on staff. People who know the meaning of the open road are best qualified to create products relevant to it.

Check out a company’s reputation with the Better Business Bureau. If they care about customer service and resolving order issues quickly and fairly, they’ll have a BBB rating of “A.” You shouldn’t settle for anything less.

When it comes to pricing, any reputable supplier will have a “no surprises” bottom line. A good company won’t charge you for artwork, revisions, setup or shipping.

Consider the artwork. If you have an established design, your supplier should be able to reproduce the lettering precisely and the colors accurately. If you’re updating the design, or if your club is new, a good company will have artists on staff who can work with you to create the perfect design, and revise it until it is exactly what you expect it to be.

You’re proud of your club. You want a product that looks good enough to be worn with pride. You should expect your supplier to be committed to providing you with the finest quality product possible at a fair price. With a little bit of research, it’s easy to find a supplier that will create the custom motorcycle patches that do your club proud.
