    How do you anticipate demand? Can you print 1-offs/samples to shoot product images and then print per order? I'd imagine that's quite expensive? But it also seems like a waste to print, xxs/xxl ranges that may never get bought?

    • we use mockups - have a load of blank hanging shots - and then do mockups until printed then shoot the actual productfadein11
    • good way of doing preorders as well so you can order based on that. It's v.easy to end up with a lot of unsold stock and often the designs you love do not sellfadein11
    • preorders on designs really help with that.fadein11
    • and find a good local printer, build a r'ship. we found someone starting out and he has really built his business based on us alone. So he turns things roundfadein11
    • really quickly if items suddenly sell out etc. If we were just using someone who hadn't become a friend I think you can run into a lot of headaches.fadein11
    • Just don't sell to dwarves or fat people.detritus
    • yepgetting sizing orders was a pain to start with... but now we go from small - xxxl with fewer of the ones we don't sell as many of - but we only knew thatfadein11
