Online selling. Totally possible if you use ebay or know how to set up an E-commerce website yourself, but getting the credit card system sorted out is a major cost. Lots of girls shop online now, you just need to know how to market it right and get your products noticed.
Marketing. It’s essential in today’s design world. You might have a good product but if its weak on branding, labeling, packaging, shelf appeal, matching coat hangers, etc., it’ll look bad. Consistency also needs to be achieved across the spectrum including same font, same style, etc. Designing is totally open to new creations and ideas, so anything goes, but there are some boundaries that you don’t want to cross, while others you need to break through.
Threadless will donate 100% of net proceeds from the sale of each tee to fund The American Red Cross’s rescue efforts. The chosen design will be available for purchase at Threadless.
Afterwards, when I was working in the design team of a fashion magazine in Madrid, I was more in contact with illustrators and photographers, and then I realized I was more interested in illustration than in any other thing of the design process.
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.
We have always been committed to bringing our customers the highest quality screen printed funny t-shirts possible. However, when we started out, we had no idea how to design t-shirts and did not know anything about graphics programs. When designing funny tee shirts, you always need to be able to adapt an image to an idea, and this is where I really had problems.
T-shirts are another good money maker. You may not be able to make your own t-shirts at home. But you can go to a local t-shirt company in town or go with a t-shirt design company online. Think of some crazy slogans or current events and make your own tee. Slogans, phrases, and current events will always do you good. You can have 500 t-shirts made for under $2.00 each. Sell them at $5.00 and will double your money and then some. I have done this myself and to this day, sell t-shirts I created. It usually takes about a week and a half to sell 500 t-shirts. Sell more than 2 different t-shirts at the same time and you will easily make over $1000.00 a week or more every week on eBay.
Custom Ink is one other custom screen printing T shirt company that allows you to design your own shirt or other items of clothing. They have a design lab on their site that you would employ to create your design. Yet, this company does require a nominal amount order, which is never a bad thing. Can someone really ever have too many tee shirts? I don’t believe so, particularly when they’re custom made.
