Custom T-Shirt Design at SuperCustomShirts.com

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

As consumers become increasingly dependent upon online services like Google to help them discover products and services to fit their needs, questions about consumer protection become more important than ever. If a business appears at the top of the Google search results, does it mean that business offers the best service or lowest prices? Not necessarily.

When Google recently released an update to their algorithm, David Hall, owner of SuperCustomShirts.com began researching the search results in his industry and comparing the businesses at the top of the search results to his own services. “When Business Owners, Brand Managers, Event Organizers, Team Coaches, Bands and regular people with great ideas decide that it’s time to print custom shirts or just about anything with their design on it, they will typically turn to Google. And because of that, millions of consumers are being funneled into websites are clearly not offering the best solutions for their needs” said Hall.

Google’s search result pages are the result of an algorithm that does not consider price or quality of service. So how can consumers find the best solutions to fit their needs. It is a simple question to answer really, but it does take a bit of research that the average consumer may not bother doing. Hall researched the following scenario:

“An organization has a need for 50 black Gildan Ultra t-shirts with a four color custom printed design on both the front and back. So the manager turns to the all powerful Google and searches for “custom t-shirts” and is presented with a list of results. The results are dominated by some of the industries biggest online companies including Zazzle.com, CustomInk.com, CafePress.com, and VistaPrint.com. However, upon shopping each of these sites the manager finds that there are significant price differences among them” said Hall. Each of these sitting charges the following to fulfill the specified order:

Zazzle.com = $ 1,278.00 CafePress.com = $ 1,209.50 VistaPrint.com = $ 923.50 CustomInk.com = $ 844.50 SuperCustomShirts.com = $ 710.90

“Upon further research the manager could also find SuperCustomShirts.com, a company that has been in business in San Diego for 35 years, producing quality screen printing, and will fulfill the same order for just $ 710.90. A savings of between $ 133-$ 568 dollars on an order of just 50 shirts compared to the competitors that dominate Google’s search results. While the price clearly shows that these are cheap custom t-shirts,” said Ron Hall, Co-Owner of SuperCustomShirts.com and a 38 year veteran of the screen printing industry, “the actual shirt being used in this research is the same and the silk screen process we use to print them is the highest quality available. In fact at least one of these companies uses “Iron-On” heat transfers, which are very poor quality because they don’t stand up to many washes.”

How would a consumer find a niche solution like SuperCustomShirts.com? David Hall suggests “do some deeper research than just the first page of Google and then actually do some comparison shopping. They could also check some Q&A forums and ask around on social networks. Technology is great, but if you want to get the best prices and quality, you can’t just accept what search engines are spoon feeding you.”

“The problem is that Google uses an algorithm with over 300 factors to index and judge all webpages. While many of these factors are identical indicative of eminent quality, authoritative and trust worthy sites, there are also many loopholes that can be exploit by companies that tinned afford to exploit them” said Hall. “This is really the heart of the problem because companies that charge more, typically make larger profit margins and can then use that additional revenue to buy more links, advertising, content syndication and other factor that allow them to manipulate the search results. Thus, what tends to happen is that the companies that offer the lowest prices, simply can’t afford to pay for what it takes to rank number i in Google.”

For consumers willing and able to do a bit of their own research, there are great companies like SuperCustomShirts.com out there ready to offer high quality products at prices that may be better than their larger competitors. Then it’s up to every conscientious consumer to spread the word.

When you are shopping at the store of brick and mortar, I am sure you are shopping and compare prices informally. I know I can. Standing in Wal-Mart or Target, there is usually between 2-5 choices for everything. That’s why I can not leave the store in less than a hour. Consider purchasing behavior. You stand there, looking at different options and try to make the best purchasing decision. An important factor in the process of price formation. So you make comparisons between prices informally in your head.

The Internet allows you to do comparison shopping from your living room more formal, compare prices side by side on this site. I think it is a truly incredible. Here, technology has really benefited the consumer. With the Internet for data from thousands of merchants in one place, buyers can do comparison shopping on a scale never before possible. This is what economists call “perfect information of prices.” With the high reliability of navigation, there’s really no need to visit the physical store as well. You can compare, choose and buy the product offered by your computer. The only time a visit is necessary to store large items or items that you just must see before you buy. Televisions Large, jewelry and cars are examples of things I would never buy without seeing first. However, in each case, I completed an application for full price on the web portal first. I usually print out the comparison shopping site and take me to the store or dealer as a reference tool.

A more recent trend in websites price comparison shopping with more options to the buyer. All main engines price comparison shopping have always tried to attract users to its website by direct advertising. However, in recent years companies have to open their databases for small sites with the program for the automatic exchange of data with them. This is called an application programming interface (“API”). In simple terms, this means that two websites to communicate with each other to exchange data based on user input. For example, if an user on my site in search of books on the subject of price comparison shopping, my site can send data to the Amazon and the resulting product can be shown on my site, the user requested.

The end user does not know the data is from a different site, and everything happens within milliseconds. The comparison shopping site using the distribution as a mechanism to help grow their businesses. If you’ve ever wondered why Amazon products are not everywhere on the Internet and directly on the site, is the reason. Amazon.com is a leader in the development of the API, which allowed them to take their products to thousands of sites on the Internet. The big advantage for end users that a new breed of comparison shopping sites prices are emerging. Specifically, a building meta-shopping sites is actually drawn from databases of the portal site businesses while using the API. Remember the site that combines the power of the Amazon database, Shopping.com, eBay and all proceeds Price Runner one click. The real victory for consumers and saves time for buyers. End users are now able to obtain product information at a level that was not possible even a few years

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 26, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn – Process control equipment are indispensable to manufacturing industries worldwide. Process plants across the globe are coming under the yoke of competitive pressures to adhere to the lower cost, high quality product regimes. In this regard investments in sophisticated control and processing equipment are topping the priority charts of companies as they attempt to obtain measurable improvements in plant operations and thereby profits. Key factors poised to drive investments in process control equipment/devices include the need to save energy against a backdrop of rising energy costs, growing competition in the marketplace and the ensuing need to reduce development time and time-to-market of products. Growing need for efficient use of raw materials against a backdrop of rising raw material and commodity prices is also triggering the demand for these equipment.

Developing markets with high levels of industrialization and large installed base of aging Distributed Control Systems (DCS), are poised to drive future growth in the market. Additionally, increased capital spending on plant infrastructure in these countries, focus on modernization efforts, and establishment of new plants in power generation, petrochemical, oil and gas, refining and former heavy process industries, are all forecast to support growth in the upcoming years. China and India, especially represent important markets in Asia-Pacific, with both the countries focused on increasing energy and manufacturing capacity. In the Middle East, new petrochemical complexes in the petrochemicals industry will create opportunities for automation systems for the control and monitoring of continuous processes. The quest to achieve the high possible levels of automation for optimization of processes will continue to witness adroit integration of new technologies into process control system solutions, thus expanding the functional range of control systems. A central noteworthy trend, in this regard, is the integration of IT security into process control systems, given the widening security gaps created as a result of increased use of embedded IT solutions into the control system. The transition from PLCs to PC-based systems and intercrossed scalable systems is expected to provide ample upgradation opportunities for growth.

Fortunes in the control and processing equipment market moves in sync with the plane of industrial/manufacturing activity. The European debt crisis and its induced volatility in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), not surprisingly is leaving the domestic control and processing equipment nervous over the future playout of the crisis. EUs industrial sentiment currently remains torn between optimism and fear, given the mixed signals emanating from the volatile manufacturing data in Spain and Italy and the encouraging industrial performance in Germany. Despite the challenges and uncertainties, over the continued economic stability in Europe, most market indicators for the immediate-term future feature a largely positive outlook for the manufacturing industry in the year 2012. Manufacturing production which continued to recover from 2010 through 2011 is expected to continue into the year 2012. Current economic data that leaves room for hope include Germany’s relative resilience in handling the euro zone crisis, which is helping strengthen confidence levels. For instance, in Germany, which represents Europe’s industrial powerhouse, industrial/manufacturing output is holding well as indicated by the country’s yet strong export market, a key reason for the country’s superior handling of its debt crisis in comparison with Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy. The recovery in industrial output posted by Germany in the month of January 2012, which breached industry forecasts, additionally infuses confidence.

As stated by the new market research report on Control and Processing Equipment, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) is forecasted to grow at a projected CAGR of 2.3% over the analysis period 2009 through 2017.

Major players in the marketplace include ABB, Cegelec, Danaher Corp., Dresser, Emerson Process Management, Endress+Hauser, Honeywell Industrial Automation & Control Solutions, Invensys PLC, Metso Automation Oy, MKS Instruments Inc., National Instruments Corp., Omron Corp., Rockwell Automation Inc., Schneider Electric SA, Siemens Energy & Automation Inc., Spectris Plc, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., and Yokogawa Electric Corporation.
