WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWN WHEN BUYING AN EMBROIDERY MACHINE IN NIGERIA
What You Need to Know When Buying an Embroidery Machine
Making the decision venture into the world of machine embroidery for the first time is exciting, but it can get overwhelming with all of the choices available on today’s market. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you wrap your head around buying an embroidery machine. Whether you're a first-time buyer or simply shopping for an update, learn all about what you need to consider before purchasing an embroidery machine!1. Put yourself first…
Really focus on what you need! What kind of embroidery do you want to produce- corporate, decorative, small, large, simple, intricate? This is something you need to ask yourself repeatedly as it plays a part in every consideration that follows. Make a list and keep it on you when you’re shopping around.2. Shop around…
Buying an embroidery machine takes time and effort, don’t launch right into buying anything because a good machine is an investment. Find out about the various types of support that each company offers; inquire about a channel for support (phone number, email, live-chat etc) and any back-up services offered, and definitely make sure you also ask about warranties and spare parts replacements. This way the admin is covered and you can now get technical, prices and terms of services.3. Don’t be Afraid to Ask Questions…
When shopping around, don’t hesitate to get all your questions out there- after all, your machine will be an investment that should last you 15+ years! Think about the size your embroidery will be, selecting the size of the machine best suited for your work is the most important thing. Then consider how many heads do you need? Ask yourself how flexible should your “production capacity” be?For example, 2 single head machines will allow you to run two jobs in parallel, whereas having a two head machine doing a small job may be running only with one head. 2 single head machines are more expensive. You need to find the balance and make these decisions before you even start looking. Again, these are the types of things you need to find out about your machines from the seller.
4. Cover all your bases…
Tiny little things tend to go under the radar, but when you’re purchasing an embroidery machine, these tiny details can make all the difference… Ensure that your machine can support the accessories, format and extensions that you require. Things like special hoops (does the machine have large enough hoops for your designs?), cap-frames (embroidering on caps and pockets requires free arm machines), number of needles (how many colors are you going to need?) and various decoration techniques like sequin or cording are functions you may want to keep in mind, especially if your designs go beyond basic lettering and images and what best embroidery studio software to use.
5. Enjoy the process!
Finally, don’t let starting this new venture become a chore! Make sure you take your time, browse at your own leisure and remember to enjoy every step, after all embroidery is tons of fun!
Good luck in all your endeavors,
The Wilcom Team Nigeria.

With so many schools offering top-notch education your brand is your chance to differentiate yourself from the crowd. You have to ask yourself how you want your school to be perceived, and then translate that into your school’s branding. It is your most identifiable feature and the first thing a parent will recognize; and that’s why it is so important to get it right, your uniform color, logo and school barges, school motto etc.
All parents will most likely choose a school that reflects their values and can cater to their children’s needs. But without an effective brand in place, it's very difficult for these parents to connect with the school on the necessary level to sway them into admission.
In any business, customers trust strong brands, and the education sector is no different; schools with a well-known reputation for excellence in education are inherently trusted by parents and students. That’s not to say that if you’re not especially well known as a school that you’re in trouble, it simply goes to show the importance of establishing your brand. As you can probably imagine, a strong brand is going to help with your recruitment drive, especially if your school’s brand is stronger than your competition, as you will be able to steal market share. On the other hand, if your school does not have a strong brand affiliation that people can associate with, you risk a detrimental effect on your establishment; namely a bad reputation or no reputation at all.

Your school’s brand is its calling card to the outside world; it’s how
you’re identified and remembered. When somebody sees your logo, or your
school colours, it will immediately evoke an emotion in them; whether
that’s admiration, indifference or something else depends on your
reputation and how you have marketed yourself.
