There are a myriad of considerations that should be taken into account when purchasing a new embroidery machine – industrial vs. domestic, needle configurations, warranty, training & support and field size to name a few.

Let’s consider here though the single Vs multi-head machine options. Avancé’s low entry cost for the multi head machines could potentially make a big difference to your business productivity (and therefore profitability).

Productivity & Profitability

A single head machine can (conservatively) produce a 10,000 stitch design on 50 garments in 12-13 hours.

On a four head machine though, we can be stitching four garments at the same time, which means that we cut down the production time to one quarter. OR we could say that we could produce up to 200 garments with a 10,000 stitch design in that same 12-13 hours.

And the logic continues for a 6 head machine: cut down your production time of that same 50 garment order to just 2-3 hours or to put it another way: make 6 times the sales in the same period of time!

Sales & Marketing Benefits

Whilst the commercial single head embroidery machine is well suited to starting a new embroidery business, there are quite well-defined advantages in both attracting more business and fulfilling orders from that business with the Avance multi-head machines:

1.Order fulfilment time – as demonstrated above, your ability to produce multiple volumes of work in the same time means faster delivery to your customers. Deliver in hours, rather than days!

2.Business Perception – whilst the 1501C is in no doubt a high quality commercial machine, it is a small format machine designed to fit into small spaces or out of the way when not in use. In contrast, a 4 or 6 head machine pictured in your brochures or on your website will increase the perception of industrial capacity, netting more clients and more work. Image has a great impact on potential clients.

Return on Investment

There are many factors that will impact the profitability of your new embroidery business – including (but not limited to):

• the charge rate per 1000 stitches – this can vary depending upon the market or speciality that you are targeting
• competition
• are you a sole trader or will you engage staff?
• Wages that you might draw from the business
• Business premises – home / rented space / retail kiosk?
• Overheads

One thing you can be assured of – you will maximise those potential profits with Avancé’s low cost per head, features and reliability.
