How a uniform program can give your specialty trades business a competitive edge
As a small business owner, you know that trust is a precious commodity. You need your customers and prospects to believe in your tradesmen from the moment they step out of their work van.
The way your employees present themselves reflects directly on your company's image, and quality work apparel can go a long way. But with today’s market challenges, businesses in the trades need every edge they can to separate themselves from the competition.
With a Cintas Apparel+ program, you get more than just great uniforms and apparel — you get a direct path to customer confidence.
Bring your brand to life
Your employees and your brand are one in the same. Every time one of your team members interacts with a customer, they’re serving as a billboard for your business — and according to Harris Poll Online, 70% of customers feel uniforms make employees look neater and more professional.
With an Apparel+ program, your employees will always make a great first impression with clean and well-fitting work apparel that can be customized with your company name or logo. Whether you want to make a splash with custom embroidery or keep it simple with classic script lettering, Apparel+ offers a great way to project a positive brand image at every job.
Elevate employee morale
In today’s competitive job market, small businesses need to ensure their employees feel valued and supported. According to Cintas research, nearly 60% of workers say a uniform service is the top benefit an employer can offer.
Help retain your skilled tradesmen and attract top talent with top-tier work apparel. Apparel+ features premium brands like Carhartt® and tough, durable fabrics to inspire your team and keep them performing at their peak.
And with included laundry and delivery service, your employees won’t need to bring their work home with them. We’ll pick up your team’s dirty clothes each week and deliver a fresh set of replacements for the week ahead — keeping your team refreshed and looking their best for your customers.
Boost your bottom line with no upfront cost
Purchasing high-quality uniforms for your entire team can cost thousands of dollars. Don’t risk your investment should you lose an employee or need any replacement work clothes.
With no upfront cost, Apparel+ spreads your uniform expenditures over the lifetime of your program, giving you ultimate flexibility. Lose an employee? Just return their uniforms. Damaged shirt? We’ll handle the fix. Worker losing weight? We’ll get them a new size
Without an upfront payment, our rental model also leaves you with extra capital to better navigate the day-to-day challenges facing your business. Use your savings to invest in better equipment, upgraded facilities or additional employee benefits — which go a long way toward staff retention.
Keep your team looking their best and attract top talent without upfront costs. With an Apparel+ program from Cintas, you can ensure your employees arrive with confidence, pride and the tools to get the job right every single day — all delivered directly to you by partners you can rely on.
