However you can save downtown for the activities such as a visit to the famous Gateway Arch, Union Station, casinos, Culinaria, City Garden and a host of other great attractions.

With the introduction of online ordering, the process has gotten quicker and less expensive. No longer are there weeks involved in the graphics design process and the layout set up. Instead of having to have the t-shirt company do all the graphics work and have it approved, now you can do all that work online with a few clicks of a mouse. Making the graphics for your customized t-shirt is as easy as uploading the image you want to use and putting whatever text you want where you want it. With a graphic from a company logo or family picture, you have access to everything you need and can upload in a matter of seconds. Setting up the text for the graphic will then only take minutes. In under 20 minutes, you can complete an entire order. A process that used to take weeks to finish.

Obviously, you’ll need T Shirts. Decide how many you want to sell to begin with and what colors you’ll want. It’s a good idea to start with at least one design in every size (small, Acttee medium, large, extra large). You’ll need to find decent quality T shirts at the lowest price possible. Of course, the more you buy the cheaper the T shirts will be, so you’ll have to decide how much inventory to invest in. I’ve gotten T shirts less than $1 each in the garment district in Los Angeles. If you don’t live in that area, search for a wholesale source online or check a discount store like Rite Aid, Walgreens or Costco.

Make up fliers, an information sheet (this sheet would be for those who would want to volunteer to help run the event. You will want to let them know what kinds of jobs they may be doing and what time to be there), team sign-up sheets, and donation envelopes to your contacts.

You will also want to be clear on timelines when working with your seller. When do you need the purchase delivered by? Then work back to determine when they require the style submitted, along with the counts and sizes of the wholesale t-shirts, the transport dates and placements. If the order is being drop shipped to various locations, make sure that the bulk orders are submitted clearly so that the exact quantity and sizes are shipped to the right location.

Although this is the most important question, I put it last to qualify it with the other four questions. Quitting is easy, and once you make the decision to start on your path, the roadblocks will start to pop up almost instantly. You will not be able to foresee them coming, so you have to believe in your ability to overcome any and every obstacle that may come your way.

Once you have got your feet wet and have a good number of designs go ahead and transfer over to producing your own shirts. Once you gain some market insight as to what shirts of yours people are talking about, and which designs are selling, you can start to have your own shirts made. Some ways of producing your shirts are: screen printing, heat transfer, Iron on, Direct Printing, and embroidery. You can buy shirts wholesale inexpensively and get your designs printed fairly cheap as well. Make sure you do the math right to produce the shirts in bulk amounts for less than you would sell them to the public.
