“Patterns are hot,” says Jeremy Ratcliff, corporate promotional sales manager for Craft Sportswear (asi/47026). In terms of promotional products, buyers are eager for wearables with retail-inspired looks – including stripes and patterns, according to Ratcliff.

Which demographics are smart targets? “Industries that employ millennials, or that are interested in creating on-trend retail looks, are particularly interested in incorporating patterns and stripes into their promotional wearables,” says Norman Bishop, president at Bishop, The Garment Co. (asi/40585). Bishop advises, when selling patterned products, to “have fun with it."

Ratcliff adds that athletic teams, as well as the health and wellness industry, are drawn to bold designs.
