Buy wholesale tees
Most business owners worry about investing initially when buying tees. You may want to purchase from different stores to showcase a wide variety of tees in your collection. However, buying small quantities from many stores can become a costly affair. Buying bulk tees can be beneficial as you will be able to get a large number of tees with different designs, etc. for reduced prices. This can help you save initial buying costs. It's advisable to know your audience first and find good quality tees that would suit your target audience. Buy these quality t-shirts in bulk.
Make sure to have t-shirts in various colors, styles, and sizes based on your target customers and the season. For example, if you have a theme and you wish to buy wholesale graphic tees based on them for your store collection, then make sure to choose a variety of designs based on the theme and buy the graphic tees in bulk in various colors and sizes. This will help you lower your startup costs and you will also have a wide range of t-shirt designs and styles to offer to your customers.
Sell custom-printed t-shirts
Not all designs sell. This makes it hard for some business owners to choose the right styles for their stores. For such business owners who face these issues, it is best to sell custom-printed t-shirts, by buying wholesale blank tees and wholesale graphic transfers separately and printing them according to the customer's needs. When you buy these in bulk, you will be able to get them for discounted prices. Also unlike screen printing, printing using graphic transfers is very easy and it requires minimal equipment. If opting for graphic transfers, you will not require special equipment or technical professionals to print the graphics onto the t-shirts. Basic equipment and a little bit of know-how are sufficient to make custom-made t-shirts using graphic transfers.
When selling custom-printed t-shirts, you will have lesser wastage. Thus keeping some blank wholesale t-shirts and wholesale graphic transfers for customization along with other graphic tees can be a good way to start your venture with lower costs and make high profits. You can even sell these separately. Having a variety of options for tees will give you the benefit to offer your customers a wide collection. This will keep your customers engaged with the brand and also help you increase your sales.
