You're going to do all that for $5 profit apiece?
- That's the nature of the businesscanoe
- At some point the allocation to op costs will become petty cash and there will be a nest egg, to hopefully invest in buying inventory for an event, etccanoe
- I used to make and sell tees many moons ago. Your margins, such as they are, need looking at. $5 per unit is a pittance.detritus
- Thanks for your input.canoe
- I'm with detritus. I also am in the merch biz. If you're really going to do it, buy your own press. Buy raw white shirts in bulk and dye them.shellie
- Consider fulfillment companies for cheaper shipping and handling rates. Pay designers flat rate buyout not royalties.shellie
- I sell my shirts for $30+shipping. Not counting my own personal labor operating the press profit is $25-$28 a peice.shellie
- Also idk why shipping isn't a separate cost for you instead of rolled into the price of the shirt. Shipping costs (Packaging+postage+h... should be calculashellie
- Calculated at the end of a sale. Try woo commerce that's what I use. Paypal gives great flat rate working capital loans that changed the game and cut out extrashellie
- Extra need for partners. Also look up wash/dye houses if you're in LA and NY. So many things u can do to plain white shirts for pennies.shellie
- I'd add a flat shipping fee and tax. I'm not going to warehouse anything at the moment. But I appreciate your story about getting your costs down to $5/shirtcanoe
- I only use Magento, but for this project I'm thinking Shopify.canoe
- the notes from shellie here just reaffirmed why this place is still relevant. damn good info shellie :)exador1
