Last week Juicy Couture opened its doors in glamorous South Beach. Amazingly enough, you could find items from custom designed surfboards to unique artwork by Contemporary artists such as Jay Kaplan, Hannah B. Hooper of Grouplove, Christian Astuguevieille and Elaine Constantine.

Most third party custom clothing sites allow you to personalize your shop’s page and colorize and customize your layout. Granted you know a little bit about HTML, and web design, you can take your shop to the next level with flash design, and custom banners and logos. You are in control of what you sell, how much you sell, and what you want to sell. If you love dogs and dolphins, and there’s a market for dog owners and aquatic adventurers, make a T-Shirt for dogs that has some artwork of dolphins on it.

All of their shirts are printed on American Apparel tees–the guys like that they’re made in the US and I agree that they have a nicer feel/drape than other options. Of course, they also source other items from various manufacturers. The full line includes tees, hats, hoodies, jackets–even stuff for the kids.

In order to succeed with your online t-shirt company, you need to market your product. There are several different ways to accomplish marketing your t-shirts. The first way is to use Google’s adwords application. You pay between $.10 and $1.00 for people to visit your website, and potentially purchase your t-shirts.

It all seemed simple, and every new idea started with the words “I will just”. “I will just rent a store and buy some equipment and I’m good to go” or “I will just buy some T-shirt making equipment and I will be rich”. These thoughts swam through my head day in and day out.

You can choose from different fabrics and colours for making t-shirts in the UK. For example you can pick 100% cotton t-shirts or those that are made from a blend of cotton and polyester. 100% cotton t-shirts have the advantage of being economical as well as being a good surface for printing onto. White is a good colour choice – especially when you have a large quantity of shirts since they are the least expensive. You can also choose from coloured shirts. Other fabrics are also available. A specialist can assist you in determining the best type of fabric for the printing method that will be used for your design.

A garage sell or yard sale or rummage sale is another Christian fundraising idea that you can use. Get the word out to receive as many items to sell as imaginable. Set it up for Saturday morning in a church parking area or at a garage, and use signs all over the area and newspaper classifieds to bring in big crowds. And when the weather is not bad, it can be done monthly.

This might be an pricey proposal if you look to a retail store to specialize the printing for you. How can you fulfill your goal without it being cost prohibitive? How do you manage it if you have multiple locations and require to include transportation in your budget?
