Hey guys! I want to start an online shirt store.. I will design the shirts myself but I need a company that will ship them out and print the shirts for me.. I hope the site will just take commission from my sales or something like that Anyone know how I can start this?
There are companies that take the good designs and do the print & ship job . Just look them up on Google .
Cafepress will give you that freedom but its prob. more expensive than if you got some exclusive deal.
shipwire does good job on just shipping. if you want to outsource printing the t-shirt also, that could be a problem; I wont rely on the internet for doing that kind of job.
I own a digital printing business were we do this exactly. We already work with over 100 clothing line owners. Please visit www.j2printoria.com for samples of our work and contact me! Don't go with cafepress or any of the others. Their quality is bottom down. We are cheaper and of higher quality.
You now have your own online shirt store, but how is anyone going to know about it? Social networking websites are everywhere on the internet, share your new store with your own network. There are also many t-shirt blogs and t-shirt rating and review websites, share your designs with them. Wearing your own designs is another great way to promote them. If you want even more visitors to your online store, you could buy some online advertising.
