If you're someone who purchases embroidered patches on a regular basis, whether you're buying them at the retail level or as wholesale patches, you're most certainly aware of the pieces that just have a simple background with a funny saying embroidered on it. Such patches are extremely popular among all kinds of patch wearers, from bikers to other types of social clubs. But have you ever wondered where those funny sayings come from?
Truth be known, a lot of them come from the very people who buy embroidered patches. For example, The Cheap Place is an embroidered patch supplier that regularly welcomes ideas from customers. If you send them a funny phrase they think would make a good-selling patch they will be more than happy to create one to sell in their store. It's a great way to add to their funny patches inventory, build customer loyalty, and keep casual customers coming back to find out what's new.
It's also not uncommon for resellers buying wholesale patches to submit their own funny phrases in order to generate some unique products. Having a patch with a funny saying that no one else is carrying gives a patch reseller a leg up on the competition; at least until that saying starts catching on and others manufacturers produce it. That's obviously inevitable if a patch is funny enough, but there is a market to be had while it's still brand-new.
If you have a funny saying or phrase you'd like to make into an embroidered patch consider contacting The Cheap Place and sending it along. You may be pleasantly surprised to see them make a new piece based on your submission. How cool would that be?
