SUCCESS STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS

When now the demand is so high, we were really on, on a huge growth with bandana business. And so, it kind of came out organically, but what ended up. What we ended up finding out is a lot of printers, just they did not...they might have tried to do bandanas and realized very quickly that it is not the easiest thing to print. And we are very passionate about wanting to perfect. Anything that kind of comes in front of us. Heather We perfected it over years. So our knowledge is compiled. I mean, we're talking from 2008 to now. So, we basically have mastered it. We become the experts in it. And so that's how bandanas have kind of come to be our number one item that we produce, I would like to say that I feel are, could be...basically the company that spearheaded pushing bandanas back in 2008, when there were other screen printers that were having trouble printing. They didn't want anything to do with being independent as is tricky, but as Holly said, we have perfected. We have perfected the process. And since we were able to do that so early in the company, we are now so diverse in options and different types of digital, you know, um, specialty inks doing off the edge, bandanas, you know, tailoring it to the max capacity of what the request is. Marshall Yeah. I can tell you from me running shops. I hated bandana orders because you had to have somebody iron, the folds out of them. Otherwise, you get the weird wrinkle in the middle, and then of course their printer wouldn't load it right. So they're printing off-center, you know, just, it was because we're just t-shirt people. I mean, it's like, who wants to print on a big square? It's just like, it was always kind of a pain in the butt. And so I really appreciate the craftsmanship that you guys bring to the table with this. And the fact that you've mastered it. You know, Malcolm Gladwell, the author says that you become an expert when you get your 10,000 hours then, right.? Holly He's certainly, yes, we've taken our time and we've developed it. And we're really proud of the work that we've been able to do. Marshall Okay. Cool. So Heather, who are the best customers for Planet Apparel and bandanas. So when you're thinking about. You know, who really needs a bandana? Who are we talking about here? Heather Well, so basically kind of going back to...we feel in our hearts just really pushing the bandana. So early on, bandana hadn't been dead...had been kind of a trendy thing.
