The RIGHT Image

/in , /by

Your business is unique. You offer something that your competitors do not. But how do you prove that to your customers? The first step is to display the right image of your business. Uniforms are a great way to show the organized, professional side of your business and they can make 1 million impressions in a year, so why not make your uniforms look their best?

If you already have a uniform rental program, then take a look at the uniforms provided. Do they reflect the look and feel of your business? Your business is one of a kind and the uniforms your employees wear should help you stand out from the crowd. If your uniforms look too similar to your competitors, why should a prospective customer come to you instead of them? We all know that first impressions leave a lasting impression. With that being said, you should make sure your employees are reflecting the right image for your business.

At Service Uniform, we understand that you want to stand apart from the competition. That’s why we offer free evaluations to determine the best fitting uniform for your business. If you use uniforms for your business image (and you definitely should) then make sure it’s the RIGHT image.

Who Wore the First Uniform?

/in , /by

Have you ever wondered where uniforms came from? How far back have people been wearing uniforms? We were wondering the same thing and did a little bit of research. The answer we came up with:

No one knows.

Uniforms have been around for so long that it’s almost impossible to figure out where they originated. One can assume they originated the same time as humans! We did find that wearing uniforms started with schools and certain occupations.

School uniforms have been around almost as long as schools have. In early America, schools followed the British system and introduced uniforms to both public and private schools. Unfortunately, uniforms were costly so it was more common for students from wealthy families to sport them.

Work uniforms have evolved more than school uniforms. It used to be that uniforms were reserved for military personnel and civilian officials. Store owners, bankers and healthcare workers didn’t have uniforms, but instead wore either an apron or bib to signify their position. But over time businesses saw the advantage of uniforms as an effort of branding and developing a corporate image.

Uniforms give employees a sense of belonging and equality. Although we can’t determine who wore the first uniform, we can clearly see from the long history that a united image is a trend that will not fade out.
