Ink To The People

I started with Custom Ink, but got so frustrated with what appeared to me to be a quota driven operation, that I Googled and found Ink to the People. This is a night and day comparison. My website is a non partisan voter info site. I wanted to use VOTE type t-shirts to let people know how easily they could get all the info they need.

Ink to the People is a "people first" company more focused on quality than quantity. Every customer counts. They 鈥済ot鈥?what I needed from the first conversation. And while they are a much smaller operation, they also are a national company. It never ceases to amaze me how they can manage the quality and level of service they provide.

Custom Ink wanted me to start with a 48 shirt campaign – the exact opposite of what I needed to do. I needed small targeted t-shirt messaging campaigns to be effective.

Custom Ink seemed not to care what I wanted, got snippy when I tried to get them to listen, assured me I would have no problem reaching the larger sales they said I needed to start with, kept talking about the money I'd make – despite my telling them I'd be using the "profits" to buy more shirts and give them away.

The biggest comparison between the two is how they handle pricing. Custom Ink only finalized a quantity and price after design approval and committing to order.

Ink To The People agreed I needed multiple campaigns with different shirt designs/colors and totes. All at lower prices to the consumer. And I can make changes to any campaign up to the time of its first sale.

Needless to say, I鈥檝e found Ink to the People to be solidly worth 5 stars.
