Organise Your Leavers Hoodies Like a Pro! Easy Tips for Organisers

Leavers hoodies are more than just comfortable outerwear; they are cherished keepsakes that capture the spirit and memories of a student's school years. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or a student elected to spearhead this project, organising leavers hoodies can feel daunting. But with a little planning and some handy tips, you can streamline the process, ensuring every student gets a personalised hoodie they’ll adore.  

This guide will walk you through everything from planning and design to ordering and distribution. Let's make your hoodie project enjoyable and stress-free!

Why Planning is Key

Organising leavers hoodies involves juggling multiple elements—from designing the hoodies to tracking orders. A solid plan can save you time and prevent last-minute chaos.

Set Clear Deadlines

Start by determining the timeline for your project. This includes setting dates for picking designs, making sure students pay for their orders via our online shop or order form, and deciding where to deliver the hoodies, your school or opt to request home deliveries.

Appoint an Organiser

Having a main point of contact makes communication with us easy. Whether it’s a teacher, parent, or student volunteer, choose someone who is organised and reliable to oversee the process from start to finish.

Communicate Early and Often

Ensure everyone involved understands the plan. Create group chats, send newsletters, or use school bulletin boards to inform students and parents about key dates, shop details and how to order.

Picking the Perfect Leavers Design

The design is what makes leavers hoodies unique. With many options available, here are some steps to ensure your hoodie is a hit.

Choose a Winning Design

Our team at the School Leavers Company offers a wide variety of options, from classic year-number designs (REAR 10) to bold modern graphics. Prefer something personalised? Collaborate with our design team to create a custom look that reflects your school's personality.

Set Nickname Guidelines

Personalisation is a big draw for leavers hoodies, but it’s essential to agree on guidelines for student nicknames. Keep them school-appropriate, and set a character limit to ensure the printing fits neatly. You can also include certain emojis!

Keep Practical Constraints in Mind

Remember, the design should work with the available colour options and hoodie styles. Our hoodies come in a range of sizes, from child to adult fits, and are crafted from premium 300gsm materials for long-lasting comfort. Using multiple colours in your designs will inflict the prices of the hoodies.

Smooth Ordering Process

Once the designs are finalised, it’s time to collect orders and payments. We’ve made this part super easy!

Get the Right Sizes

Avoid sizing issues by providing a comprehensive size guide to students and parents. Consider measuring an existing hoodie you have and compare it to our size guide for the best results.

Use an Online Shop

Our most popular ordering method is our free, personalised online shop. Students and parents can view designs, select their size, and pay directly online. This removes the need for organisers to handle money or paperwork manually. Plus, we handle the rest, from compiling the orders to delivering the entire batch to your school or even individual homes!

Secure Payments

We offer online payment options, making the transaction process seamless and secure. Group purchases can also benefit from bulk shipping discounts.

Key Tips for Distribution

Once your order arrives, you’ll need an organised distribution plan to ensure every student gets their hoodie hassle-free.

  • Label Packages Clearly: We package your Leavers Hoodies with names on so it speeds up distribution.

  • Organise Pickup Times: Arrange specific times for students to collect their hoodies, avoiding large crowds during school hours.

  • Check the Deliverables: Double-check the order to make sure everything matches the specifications before distribution begins.
