2023 Apparel Sales Planner:
Trending Styles You Should Sell Now
It’s a new year, which means new apparel trends! ASI supplier BEL Promo is setting you up for sales success by breaking down their most in-demand clothing for every major category.
12-Piece Minimums on Every Product
Yup, you heard right! BEL Promo offers these low minimums on every item they offer, including these popular apparel picks. Start the year strong by letting clients know they can get the exact number of shirts they need every time without any extra fees.
> T-Shirts
First things first, let’s talk about the time-tested promotional tee. Thanks to its versatility and affordability, this wardrobe staple will always be in demand. However, you can make your distributorship stand out by educating clients on current trends, such as heavyweight construction and oversized fits. Recommend your clients opt for larger sizes to not only be more inclusive, but to speak to the preferred styling for today’s consumers.

> Performance Apparel
Athleisure isn’t going anywhere in 2023. If anything, this apparel trend is only growing in popularity as performance features become more expected by end-users. Ask your clients when and where these shirts will be used to determine which specifications are needed. For instance, indoor “dance-a-thons” might require moisture-wicking and anti-microbial features while they can perhaps go without UPF protection since shirts will be worn inside. On the other hand, recipients of T-shirt giveaways at an outdoor community event will appreciate those sun-protectant qualities, ensuring a positive brand association for your client’s company.

> Polos
If there’s an apparel category that’s worth splurging on, it’s polos. That’s because these shirts are usually worn in professional settings, such as networking events or as uniforms while on the job. Look for premium features like snag and wrinkle resistance to keep wearers looking sleek even after hours of wear. Stain-release technology will enhance the lifetime of each garment for more impressions over time. As for appearance, neutrals remain a popular choice. Advise clients to add a pop of color by embroidering their logo to the front chest.

> Sweatshirts
Sweatshirts and hoodies have received a major style makeover. While still as comfortable and casual as ever, sweatshirts are now appropriate to wear both in and outside the house without wearers appearing disheveled. Oversized sweatshirts are particularly popular, especially when paired with more tailored bottoms. As for decoration, large capitalized company names are a trendy way to give sweatshirts retail appeal while also guaranteeing brand names get noticed.
