I don’t have much volume. Is the Tailwind System right for me?
I can’t possibly save any labor. I only have two people in my shirt department!
I’m smart enough to know that if there was a way to save $150 per week, I would have figured it out, therefore, I am quite skeptical. What am I missing?
Why doesn’t my distributor rep know about this? Why hasn’t he recommended the Tailwind Shirt System to me?
Do I become “married” to a system that forces me to buy expensive supplies for the duration.

Questions and Answers
I don’t have much volume. Is the Tailwind System right for me?
Most definitely, YES! It is even more important for the smaller operators to be super-efficient as their profit numbers are likely to be slimmer. Most Tailwind Clients are small operator doing less than 2500 shirts per week
I can’t possibly save any labor. I only have two people in my shirt department!
This is a very common thought, and perhaps rightly so, but you definitely can. There are many case histories of people just like you, doing 2000 shirts per week with two people in the shirt department that save about $150-$175 per week in shirt department labor. This is real money that you, personally can spend!
I’m smart enough to know that if there was a way to save $150 per week, I would have figured it out, therefore, I am quite skeptical. What am I missing?
I can’t blame you for thinking that, but I assure you that I see things a different way. Part of the reason that I can assure you of this is because of the people on my client list – the people that have already switched to the Tailwind Shirt System. They, in some cases, are third generation drycleaners that have “seen it all,” but they marvel at the brilliance and the ingenuity of the Tailwind Shirt System.
Why doesn’t my distributor rep know about this? Why hasn’t he recommended the Tailwind Shirt System to me?
I’m not sure why yours doesn’t, but some of them do. Others, though, can’t be bothered to learn about it and how it can help their customers. Some would simply rather “push” a system that they already have on their shelves.
Do I become “married” to a system that forces me to buy expensive supplies for the duration.
No. There are specific supplies necessary to run the Tailwind Shirt System. One is a one-time purchase that cost about $150 and the other is tags, which you probably buy anyway. Now that there are competing manufacturers for the tags, the price has come way down. The cost for tags and tagging will, most likely be far less than what it costs you now, even if your POS computer prints them.
