Case Study – Los Angeles Clippers

Vision/ Creativity: Our client the Los Angeles Clipper, came to us to produce a custom stadium give-a-way for their “Armenian Heritage Night 2018”.  After meeting with our client, we suggested a “stadium scarf” and it was well received.

Research and Planning: 2 types of scarves were pitched. One being a Dye Sublimated Scarf and the other being a woven scarf. The client decided to go with the woven, high definition, 2-sided scarf 7-inches by 55-inches with the fringe for its higher quality feel.  Deciding to go with a woven scarf over a dye sublimated scarf limited the number of colors for the client to use. Additionally, we had the restriction of using the Clipper’s specified PMS colors for their logo.

Implementation and Production: With our restrictions of the number of colors and the client’s logo guidelines we looked to solve the issues with the manufacturing process. We solved both by having the yarn dyed the client’s PMS colors and used the same colors in the other artwork of the scarf. The results were that we kept the Clipper’s logo intact and were able to maximize the number of colors to create an attractive scarf.

Supply Chain Management and Logistics: The custom scarf was manufactured in one of our factories overseas. Shipping for this project went from our overseas factory to the client’s warehouse facility in Los Angeles, CA.

Results and Final Product: Stadium Scarves for the LA Clipper Armenian Heritage Night 2018 project consisted of 15,XXX scarves. They were delivered on time and within budget.

Vision/ Creativity: Our client came to us to produce a custom Puzzle Cube for their promotional stadium giveaway. The cubes would be going to kids, age 13 and under.

Research and Planning:  When we were approached for this project, the client didn’t give us a layout, just an idea of what they envisioned. Our team came up with a mock-up for the cube utilizing very preliminary artwork provided by the client. We gave the mock-ups to the client with variations along the way. The client was kept informed every step of the way and continued to be a part of the creative process. This allowed us to create the cube with the client in an efficient manner and get them a product they would be delighted with. Once the layout was approved, final graphics were sent for production.

Implementation and Production: Once the graphics were nailed down it was sent to our production team overseas. We did a pre-production sample for the client’s approval. Upon seeing the item in hand, it was determined that the color of one of the logo’s being used was not to their liking. We worked with the client to resolve the issue and our production team made the needed adjustments for the final product.

Supply Chain Management and Logistics: The Puzzle Cube was manufactured in one of our factories overseas. Shipping for this project went to the client’s warehouse facility in Los Angeles, CA.

Results and Final Product: The “Heart of LA” Puzzle Cube for the LA Clipper consisted of 5,000 packaged cubes. The client was pleased with the results and the project was a success. They were delivered on time and within budget.
