Parry Sound, Georgian Bay, Ontario
Souvenir apparel programs for Parry Sound retailers
Drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, for the more than a thousand retail doors that reorder every season
The Island Queen, a 550 passenger cruise boat, sails the 30,000 Islands of Georgian Bay from the Parry Sound town dock daily from June 1 to mid October, and gift shops sit along James Street and at the dock where it loads. Killbear Provincial Park, a short drive northwest, recorded about 300,000 visitors in 2019. Cowichan designs already sell in town, and Parry Sound is part of the cottage-country belt where most of our Ontario accounts are.
What sells on James Street
The windswept Georgian Bay pine, the 30,000 Islands, the Island Queen, the loon and the CPR trestle bridge over the harbour. Ontario's reorder history is lakes, and the Bridge Text Loon, one of the province's top ten reorders, localizes to Parry Sound with the pine as the mark. A 30,000 Islands wordmark sells to the cruise passenger stepping off at the dock, and a Bobby Orr hometown line is the one hockey reference that is actually about the town. Evening boat rides are cool, and fleece sells in July.

Questions
What Parry Sound buyers ask
What is the minimum order for a Parry Sound shop?
Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Parry Sound shop usually opens with a few designs on tees and adds fleece and caps once the season shows what sells.
How long does shipping to Parry Sound take?
About 6 business days by ground courier from Vancouver. Orders leave our Vancouver floor once the run is stitched, and reorders go out on the schedule your rep sets with you.
Can the designs say Parry Sound?
Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Parry Sound. Designs are drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, and namedrops are included with the program at no art charge.
How do reorders work?
Through your rep, sized to your season. Reorders run on a standing schedule from the Vancouver floor so a hot colour never leaves a hole in the wall.
