CFpromo Supports Vacation Bible School and Mission Trips

One of the largest growth areas for CFpromo in the last year or so has been our assistance with custom products and services for vacation bible schools for churches across the nation as well as additional products for group mission trips. The majority of this growth has taken place right in our backyard of South Dakota, but we now deliver custom items to more than thirty states around the country. Why is CFpromo becoming a market leader for vacation bible schools and mission trips abroad? Simply put, our factory direct business model allows for CFpromo to leverage our supply chain to offer far more truly custom and one of a kind products than anyone else. In addition this same business model allows for CFpromo to offer these products and services at truly factory direct prices. We are not a middle man simply passing on products so our pricing is second to none in a market where costs are always at a premium. We can also create custom bible school and mission trip products and we can deliver them in a time frame faster than most.

CFpromo knows that the more money you can save on your products and supplies, the more money is left to make a bigger impact with young attendees of bible school activities or the more funds available to make an impact while on a mission trip to Haiti, Russia, Belize, Ukraine or more than 30 other locations our present CFpromo mission trip teams have been or will be going. We absolutely love to hear about and get pictures from these teams with our gear either being word, or items being shared around the globe. It's what we believe in at CFpromo and its what we ourselves support with trips each year to China, Germany, Japan and more. At CFpromo we always strive to support the people, groups, businesses and individuals that support us. By partnering with vacation bible schools and mission trips, we get the chance to live out our motto every time a camp kicks off or every time a plane load of eager youngsters heads off a new adventure to help those around the world!

If you are for great one of kind items or custom products or supplies for your next vacation bible school event, or mission trip planning session, keep CFpromo in mind. We are here to help!

CFpromo Setting the Pace with 5K Race Teams in the 25th Annual Avera Race Against Breast Cancer

[caption id="attachment_678" align="alignleft" width="300"] Avera emloyees show support for Breast Cancer![/caption]Here at CFpromo, the fastest growing custom screen printing company in the Midwest based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, we often get asked to produce and assist with some wild designs and great causes. Our design team can come up with some of the most intriguing and beautiful and fun concepts with just one design. However, when we get the opportunity to deliver a compelling custom screen printed apparel design along with an opportunity to see those items used for a great cause, we take great pride knowing we are helping make a difference. Over the years we've developed hundreds of custom marketing and promotional items for awareness and fundraising events: from silicone bands and headbands, to LED flashlights, to custom gift bags loaded with sponsors information, and custom apparel to glorify events such as this all around the United States. We produce custom screen printed and custom embroidered t-shirts and apparel for events in Sioux Falls and across America such as Tough Mudder, Color Vibe 5K and dozens more.

Such is the case with many 5K race teams in the upcoming 2013 Sioux Falls Avera 5K Race Against Breast Cancer. Local 5K race teams have been looking to CFpromo for their custom apparel for the event for over a month and as the 25th annual race event draws near on May 11th, we expect more and more teams to request their 5K race team apparel from CFpromo. If you aren't sure where to get started on your custom request for your group of racers, here are a few tips to keep in mind.

1. Bring in a concept or a message for your team. Are you running in remembrance of a loved one or are you running to simply join forces with thousands of people to support a great research cause. Knowing this can help our designers quickly design your message into your apparel from CFpromo.

2. If it is a logo and text think of your layout. Just the front of your items or both sides? Think colors patterns as well. Each color custom screen printed on a CFpromo garment adds cost and time to the production of your products.

3. Plan early! Stop by our offices at 2818 W. 12th Street (near the USS South Dakota Battleship Memorial)and get started! Orders for events such as the Avera Race Against Breast Cancer tend to stack up as we near May 11, so get your team together early, plan ahead and ensure that your items, and those for others, are ready come race day. You want to focus on having a great time supporting a great cause, not chasing down your custom bandanas the morning of the race!!

Hopefully this can help you with your planning for the big event. At CFpromo we take great pride in our experience in handling a large number of custom requests in a very short time frame, all the way to 10,000 custom screen printed items for even larger events. We have a caring and dedicated staff who can make sure the message you desire to get across will be one that is louad and clear at any event but even more important as an event taking place for such a great cause!

We are known for our one stop shopping capabilities for tournament directors, which eliminates many headaches come the day of the event. With CFpromo there is no need to find someone to supply t-shirts, someone else to supply medals and trophies, someone else to make banners, someone else to have promotional items, and even someone else to provide raffles and giveaways for great prizes, and even sports equipment and branded apparel that kids know and are proud to wear. CFpromo does it all in one visit or phone call. Truly one stop shopping for youth tournaments from CFpromo headquarters in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

The recent director of the Xtreme Hoops Showcase John Van Stedum commented,

CFpromo and the 2013 South Dakota High School State Basketball Tournaments

[caption id="attachment_651" align="alignright" width="225"] Sioux Falls Christian State Basketball T-Shirts[/caption]CFpromo knows the South Dakota High School Boys and Girls State Boys Basketball Tournaments. For almost a decade we've been providing custom t-shirts and apparel at the events for teams, fans and schools from Alcester-Hudson to Wakpala. Small schools and large schools alike. The girls event just finished and we were in attendance looking on at some of our recent work and talking to our customers about their likes and dislikes and how we can help improve our processes for them. We do this through focus groups of coaches, athletic directors and booster clubs around the state of South Dakota. Here are just few highlights on what makes CFpromo stand tall above the crowd.

[caption id="attachment_654" align="alignleft" width="300"] Brookings High School Boys Basketball State Shirts[/caption]1. We are the ONLY custom apparel supplier in the state who offers FREE apparel to the players and coaches of qualifying teams. That's right. When you qualify, as long as your school orders a qualifying amount of South Dakota State tournament shirts from CFpromo, the team and coaches will not pay for theirs.

2. We do not require any team to use a stock logo for their big event. Obviously turnaround time is critical after a school wins their region tournament and is heading to state. Other suppliers pre-build logos and simply add the school name to the pre-cast logo. Not CFpromo. We can still make your apparel truly customized and still have them in time for the first day of the event!

3. Pricing. We were alarmed when we saw and heard what schools are paying for a custom South Dakota State Basketball Tournament t-shirt or other apparel. Kindly, we will simply say you owe it to your school, students, parents and others to ensure your pricing fits our South Dakota budgets. Don't let your excitement of qualifying suddenly turn to budget when you are paying $20 for a basic t-shirt. That's outrageous and not close to what you would pay at CFpromo.

For more than a decade, CFpromo has been providing custom apparel for every state High School event in South Dakota. Whether baseball, softball, volleyball, track, soccer, football and more than a dozen other events, CFpromo is always preparing for the next event to help schools, students, parents and supporters show their team spirit in style. The next time your team qualifies for a South Dakota State High School event, please let us know. We will be more than happy to discuss options and potentially how your actual participants may qualify for free apparel for the event. We love South Dakota at CFpromo and we are proud to support almost 1000 participants in South Dakota State Events each year! You should be next!

For those of you interested in keeping track of your favorite team in Class AA, A or B for the upcoming 2013 South Dakota Boys High School Basketball Tournaments, you can do so here www.sdhsaa.com.

Congratulations to all 24 teams that qualified in Class AA, Class A and Class B and good luck to all teams participating and wearing that CFpromo customized gear with pride!
