Our submissions for May’s Pic of the Month contest were once again nothing short of extraordinary. We are always humbled to see everyone proudly wearing their new custom shirts and the smiles that they bring. We had to narrow it down to just one winner and that was no easy task. That said, we got it done, and we congratulate Sally H. from Mendham, New Jersey, for winning our May Pic of the Month contest and a $100 UGP custom apparel gift card!!
As a small business ourselves, Sally’s story really resonated with us here at Underground Printing. Here’s what Sally wrote: “This is Ella, my business partner and co-owner of Harmony Brookside, a gift shop and art gallery in a small town in New Jersey. We're both originally from the UK and opened the shop 3 years ago. The last year has been challenging but the support from our community has been fabulous and we've made it through the lockdown and reopening. As a way to give back to the community and create a place to reconnect, we developed "Downtown Brookside" which comprises a coffee cart, baked goods stall, flowers as well as our art gallery and gift shop. We're hoping it evolves into a Saturday morning hub for locals and visitors to connect and reconnect over a coffee and muffin. The t-shirts are a great addition for us to wear and customers to buy.” We know just how difficult this past year-plus has been, especially for small businesses. The resiliency shown by Sally and Harmony Brookside is inspiring and makes us proud to help support businesses like hers.
It’s also a bonus when our sales staff receives positive feedback from customers, especially when they’re from other small business owners who certainly pride themselves on their own great service, and we’re so glad that Sally had such an easy experience ordering with UGP. She remarked, “The experience was fantastic - great response time...like, REALLY quick turnaround, and very friendly and helpful. The t-shirts arrived on the day expected and are great quality and exactly what we were hoping. We’re about to order more right now!”
We enjoy helping our customers bring their designs to life on customized apparel and we are always happy to share our customer’s stories . It’s very inspirational! Whether it’s for work, for school or just for yourself, there may always be a reason to customize some gear.
Again, we congratulate Sally H. for winning the May Pic of the Month contest! We can’t wait to be there to print your next order of custom shirts!
