Our positive energy and happy work environment have caught the attention of some high profile periodicals and organizations over the years. In fact, Laura's T-Shirt Shop has been named a “Great Place to Work” by Washingtonian Magazine, Fortune Magazine, The Northern Virginia Care Awards, and The Northern Nevada Human Resources Association, but mostly, we just love hearing it from Inkers.

To keep everyone on the same page as we grow, Laura now gives a personal orientation to every new Inker, and he always stresses the point that our customers are relying on us to come through for them. They're putting themselves on the line, designing and ordering custom products for a group, event, or business that's important to them, and they need to know that we'll deliver awesome-looking custom products on time. If we make a mistake, it has an impact – maybe one or two kids at the birthday party won't get to wear a shirt, and that's a big deal to us, because it's a big deal to you. It's not about numbers, it's about people.

That's why we created our "Ink of the Week" contest. It allows our customers to share fun photos from their events and celebrate their group spirit. See for yourself – these photos are sure to make you smile!

You'd think that running a successful business would be strictly about the bottom line. But the amazing thing is, it's not at all – actually caring about others and taking pride in our work through the core values of The Golden Rule, Ownership, and Innovation makes all the difference. We're inspired to do our best every day, and the bottom line takes care of itself.
