Get ready to showcase your spring collections with new sampling tools.

As your clients seek to add beauty to their homes and refresh their spaces, now is the time to introduce new samples that represent your unique selections.
This is the time to market new outdoor fabrics as well. Warmer weather encourages people to spend more time enjoying their seasonal outdoor spaces. This creates opportunity to market durable outdoor fabrics that can hold up to the weather. Clients are ready to start the selection process now in order to have their spaces ready to use this spring and summer.
A big investment for homeowners
Fabric choice is a large investment for any homeowner. It’s important for the client to choose the right fabric in terms of color, pattern, texture, weight, durability, style, and the way they live. Samples do the job of helping them evaluate the materials and ultimately choose a final product that they will enjoy for years. Samples are particularly useful in presenting fabrics with a pattern. Swatches should be large enough for clients to see the full design and the entire color palette. Comparing samples enables clients to make the best decision for their unique needs.
Viewing swatches is an essential part of the design process. The client can see how the fabric and trim will look before a final purchasing decision is made. This greatly reduces the risk of making a costly mistake.
Popular sampling tools
Two popular sampling tools are swatch cards and memos. Here are some of their advantages.
Swatch cards – These are a workhorse of the sampling industry that are cost effective and convenient to use. They can be produced quickly to showcase a new product line. Swatch cards are appropriate for a variety of materials including fabrics, leather, vinyl, and wall coverings. They can vary in size from small custom cards that fit into a box or popular 8 inch by 11 inch single panels. Harris Sample Book can also create larger double, triple, and quad size panels. Waterfall cards are another eye-catching presentation.
Memo sets – Another effective way to present a new collection is with memo samples. Single memos are large enough to show an entire pattern or design. Harris Sample Book can customize the size of memo samples as needed. Memo sets can showcase an entire collection on a smaller scale. Product information can be printed on a card mounted to the back of each swatch or presented separately but bound within the set.
