T17 would you use a digitizer that misspells in their AD?

Years ago we had an embroidery company here that was named: National Embroiders... (hopefully they are still open) but the name made no sense to me.

Afforrdable Digitizing?

If the attention to detail in your own ads is not there what makes any client think they will have attention to detail with YOUR design? OR does that really not matter as long as the price is correct and they don't misspell YOUR orders?

It would totally put me off. All spelling mistakes irritate me - although some can be quite amusing. We recently received a wedding invitation requesting our "presents" at the function. I can only hope that they meant "presence", and were not actually touting for gifts. Lol.

ha, if I remember correctly AlisonB you have a particular issue with the misuse of an apostrophe! lol.

Or what about changing up words like these: There/Their/They're..... Two/Too/To

Although I OVERUSE and MISUSE ... .... ha. I like dots I guess?

Loose and lose; advice and advise; practice and practise; your and you're. It just scratches on my soul when they are used incorrectly. Must be the education I had drummed into me back in the dark ages. Lol. Your .............. are no problem. It is like waiting in anticip............ation! A pause in the dialogue is assumed, or there is more to follow..........

Most professions do not need to have "grammar police" but in our industry a misspelling can cost quite a bit of money and time and a client! (time for the redo) (money for the product and payroll) (client may just go elsewhere since we did not catch their mistake OR we made one ourselves) Attention to detail is important in this industry more than many others.

Our clients are professionals and experts in their craft and/or good salespeople.

Its not an actual misspelling that bothers me as much as the lack of attention to detail.

often the detail is missed in the NOVEL the client writes to direct the digitizing of a simple logo (or what appears to be simple)

Hi, this will be sewn on Sanmar *msty456771s_ on a wednesday when the sun is mid sky. please change the R to a TM, the shirts are poly with a bit of stretch and we will be using pellon #42 with type B3 needles, please put in a color change for the lettering. We were thinking that maybe the lettering should be a bit larger with the logo part a bit smaller and the machine will be a Tajima For lunch we plan on having Burger King and we will be wearing our blue work shirts. please make the comma it's own color. On thursday we would would like to sew these so please have the file ready by Wed at noon and advise of any additional charges to make that happen. rotate the design 4 degrees to the left as you are wearing the garment. Have a blessed day!

Paying attention to detail is not that hard. I would check their work first before judging though. They may do a good job regardless of spelling mistakes.

If you still need a digitizer ask for a quote: https://www.annthegran.com/customdigitizing_atg.aspx

Good luck, angie
