Brand Goals
Ensure Timely & High-Quality Event Apparel Delivery
The primary goal for Tianjin Wuqing Marathon was to secure the delivery of all event apparel by September 30th. This included a large quantity of diverse items, each with specific material and style requirements. The garments needed to be comfortable, durable, and visually appealing, accurately representing the marathon's brand. The organizers aimed to provide participants with high-quality customized clothing that would serve as both a functional race item and a cherished memento, enhancing overall event satisfaction and brand perception. Achieving this required a manufacturing partner with exceptional flexibility and swift execution capabilities.

Challenges
Navigating Urgent Deadlines and Complex Requirements
Gahumi faced significant challenges: 1. Extremely tight deadline: All production details were finalized on September 20th, with an urgent shipping deadline of September 30th. 2. Starting from scratch: No initial design drafts were provided; only the logo and quantities were confirmed, requiring Gahumi to conceptualize and develop designs from the ground up. 3. High complexity: The order involved numerous styles, various colors, and multiple fabric types, demanding meticulous color matching and precise logo placement across diverse garments. This complexity compounded the time pressure, requiring rapid decision-making and efficient resource allocation.
