LOVESHACKFANCY WILMETTE

A few months after the grand opening of the brand new LoveShackFancy store, we hosted a holiday pop-up event where customers could customize toiletry bags, sweatshirts, shirts, and more. The activation was offered with a minimum spend and gave shoppers a chance to personalize their items while celebrating the season in-store.

VS PINK BREAK TOUR

At the Chicago stop of the PINK Break Tour, we transformed iconic logos into custom embroidered designs and offered complimentary embroidery with any purchase at the PINK pop-up at Oakbrook Mall before everyone headed out for Spring Break.

On-Site Live Embroidery FAQs

How much space is required for live embroidery?

Embroidery is compact and takes up very little space per machine. For events, we need space near a power source that fits a 48" x 24" folding table and 2 folding chairs.

*Some events may require multiple embroidery machines, depending upon the quantity required.

Power Requirement: For 1 to 2 embroidery machines, we will require 1 circuit.

How long does it take to embroider an item?

The turnaround time to embroider depends on the size of the icon or font and how many characters are being embroidered. On average initials usually can be embroidered in under 2 minutes. A name or icon with multiple colors may require up to 5 minutes.

However, something to keep in mind is event attendance, a single embroidery machine can embroider between 10-15 items per hour. Example: if someone is 5th in the line/que, their wait time could be between 10-30 minutes

We recommend booking 4-6 hours for on-site embroidery and offering either of the below embroidery formats for events:

Option 1: Free embroidery on one item of customers choice with minimum purchase (typically ranging from $150-$250)

Option 2: Free embroidery on a free gift item with purchase / for select members / for the first X customers

What items can be embroidered?

The most popular personal embroidery items for apparel (shirts, tank tops, or sweatshirts), tote bags, and toiletry bags. You may of course select any other item and we will confirm if we can embroider it on-site.
