Alpha Shirts; Wide Product Line, Available Inventory, Great Value

Alpha Shirts; a key Powertex Group promotional product partner

Most people don’t realize it, but they have likely worn or at least seen one garment provided by Alpha Shirt Company at some point in their life. With the largest in-stock shirt selection anywhere, and their suite of high-quality brands, Powertex’s partnership with Alpha gives us a leg-up on the competition. This month, we are going to take a look at what separates Alpha from the competition, and why they are on Powertex Group’s preferred vendor list.

History:

American Apparel is just one of the many brands offered by Alpha

Alpha was founded in 1931 as a wholesaler of mens dress shirts, hosiery, and undergarments in the New England area. The organization, at that time, provided products to accessory and sportswear outlets. It wasn’t until the 70’s that Alpha began to radically evolve as into the organization we know today. It was at that time the imprintable t-shirt industry was really taking shape, and Alpha aggressively hitched their businesses model to this rising trend to much success.

Fast forward through incorporation in the 1990’s and rapid expansion that continues even today, and we have the industry leader you see today.

The Alpha Advantage:

The numbers are impressive: 2.5 million square feet of warehousing space, 35 different product lines, 18 distribution centers nation-wide and expanded 1-day delivery service. It is easy to be impressed with the scale of Alpha’s organization. However, what really separates Alpha from their competition are the unquantifiable aspects of their business.

Alpha Shirts is a provider of high-end brands such as Devon & Jones

Despite their immense size, Alpha has never lost sight of their commitment to customer service and customer satisfaction.  As a promotional partner, Alpha Shirts has consistently delivered on goods and within time lines that many other vendors won’t or can’t. Their organization understands their customer’s needs, and will go out of their way to ensure our clients get the products they need, when they need them, and at a fair price.

Casting a wide net:

Alpha offers over 800 unique products spread across 35 brand names. Their offerings include: t-shirts, fleece wear, sport shirts, wovens, outerwear, hats, bags, and accessories. Alpha’s items are featured under several partner brands including names such as Dickies, Champion, and Adidas Golf. Factor in their own various private labels, Devon & Jones, Hyp, and Authentic Pigment, for an incredibly wide catalog of quality products. From ultra-trendy garments to business wear, you’ll likely find what you are looking for with Alpha.

Delivering when it counts:

One of the major contributors to Alpha’s success is their expertise in strategically positioning their distribution centers across the U.S. for quick fulfillment. Alpha Shirts features 18 distribution centers nation-wide with 8 of them labeled as Express Centers. These Express centers are stocked with only the most popular styles for quick shipment. This leaves Alpha strategically positioned to get their most popular items to almost anywhere nation-wide within a day. Their distribution network ships thousands of shipments to hundreds of locations each day. With over 2.5million square feet of warehousing space, their ample inventories drastically increase the odds that Powertex, in partnership with Alpha, can get your items to you for your next tight deadline.

Alpha has a number of strategically positioned distribution centers around the U.S. for quick turnaround times.

Business and promotions move fast. You need not only committed partners, but strategically positioned partners to get you the products you need.
