Bodek And Rhodes

A month or two from now, many of us will be delivering orders for this year's back-to-school programs. As we're selling those programs, we need to keep that feeling of what it's like to be the new kid on the block in the back of our minds.

Fleece is the everyman of apparel. It's functional, but it looks good. It's rugged, but it's soft. And as such, it's great for apparel promotions.

Take it from the perpetually last-to-be-picked-at-dodgeball sideliner, you can be a winner at selling athletic wear, but you've got to learn the lingo.

While picking up my daughter after her freshman year of college this past week, I had a chance to see the spring of T-shirts in full bloom everywhere.

Performance clothing has changed over the past 10 years: silkier, stretchier, more mesh, even less stinky in some cases. So how did that change happen? How did this performance craze evolve?

Bodek and Rhodes is now offering a selection of polo shirts with TempControl technology as part of its newest line of premium polo shirts: the UltraClub Platinum Collection.

Bodek and Rhodes, a leading imprintable apparel distributor, has officially announced the debut of the UltraClub Platinum Polo Collection, a new penthouse-level niche of the oldest private-label in the industry, UltraClub. The new collection focuses on two distinct premium polo advances: uber-luxury fabric and revolutionary technology.

Bodek and Rhodes took their tradition of award-winning trade show booths to a new level by introducing the UltraClub Confidence Center. This interactive display was created to take attendees inside the processes that enable UltraClub, the industry's first private-label apparel line, to exceed the quality and safety standards set by the Quality Certification Alliance (QCA).

Bodek and Rhodes earned four major awards in this year’s Technology Award Competition sponsored by Promotional Products Association International (PPAI).
