| | going to tradeshows, surfing the

| another, or you just might be that person
| |
| | Internet, and reading magazines like

| website. Whatever the goals may be that
| |
| | there are many points to keep in mind,
|
| you have set for yourself, you then need
| |
| | but the following factors are some
|
| to strive for them and once you have
| |
| | technical stuff overlooked by companies
|
| accomplished your goals, then you know
| |
| | starting off: The Number of colors used &
|
| you're on the right track.Passion
| |
| | what material will be used. Most screen
|
| You have to have an interest in what you
| |
| | printers charge in the $10-$40 range for
|
| are doing or you're not going to enjoy
| |
| | every different color you use. It can
|
| spending the time and effort your
| |
| | get really expensive for someone
|
| business requires. Everybody has a
| |
| | (Example: music bands) to get several
|
| passion in one thing or another whether

| | T-Shirts printed. They then have to sell

| |
| | the fans $36 dollar T-Shirts just to
|
| any other aspect of the business, but you
| |
| | cover the costs and make some profit.The
|
| should have an interest in it. If you're
| |
| | Material used: Usually each material
|
| not passionate about a certain subject,
| |
| | brand/size comes with a set of colors
|
| then you need to think of another theme
| |
| | that they're printed on. There isn't one
|
| that you would be more interested in
| |
| | that provides you with every single color
|
| doing. Remember, you are going to spend
| |
| | in existence. It would be a great idea
|
| a lot of time on the subject/theme that
| |
| | to ask the client what material they can
|
| you choose, so if you aren't passionate
| |
| | afford and then research it, or
|
| about it, then you're going to get bored
| |
| | familiarize yourself with the more
|
| very fast and it's not going to be
| |
| | popular brands that are being printed on
|
| enjoyable.Subject/Theme
| |
| | (Examples: American Apparel, Fruit Of the
|
| This is very important in the T-Shirt
| |
| | Loom and Hanes). I've had several
|
| industry as some subjects/themes do much
| |
| | problems with this when I began, so don't
|
| better than others and receive more
| |
| | just go creating something that only
|
| customers, but like all styles, they come
| |
| | looks good on a red background that you
|
| and go. It's possible to have a general
| |
| | can't easily fix, or something that looks
|
| subject/theme, but it makes it harder for
| |
| | good on a T-Shirt color that's almost
|
| you to market/promote your shop/website.
| |
| | impossible to find. This will save you
|
| I suggest choosing just one subject/theme
| |
| | so much time and trouble.Lastly, but most
|
| to begin with as you can start adding
| |
| | importantly, just be original. Keep the
|
| other subjects/themes later when you are
| |
| | designs more personalized, deeper and
|
| established. You should by all means
| |
| | more meaningful. Vision. You need to
|
| choose a subject/theme that you are
| |
| | know who you are, what you're doing, why,
|
| knowledgeable about and have a passion
| |
| | etc. This will define how you market
|
| for, like I mentioned under the passion
| |
| | your product, how it looks over all, and
|
| paragraph.Target Audience
| |
| | all the little details within that you
|
| Who are you targeting? Will you be
| |
| | need to do. Yep, so figure that out and
|
| targeting a certain age group,
| |
| | then go nuts because you can't go wrong
|
| occupation, style, general public, etc.
| |
| | with a big idea, as long as you know what
|
| Finding out who your primary target
| |
| | the big idea is.2. Marketing. It's
|
| audience will be or is, will help you
| |
| | essential in today's design world. You
|
| with marketing/promotion. This will also
| |
| | might have a good product but if its weak
|
| help you with creating and designing your
| |
| | on branding, labeling, packaging, shelf
|
| T-Shirts and shop/website to suit your
| |
| | appeal, matching coat hangers, etc.,
|
| target audience. Once again you can
| |
| | it'll look bad. Consistency also needs
|
| choose to go for a general audience, but
| |
| | to be achieved across the spectrum
|
| this will only make it harder for you to
| |
| | including same font, same style, etc.
|
| market/promote your shop/website.Research
| |
| | Designing is totally open to new
|
| You need to always do your research and
| |
| | creations and ideas, so anything goes,
|
| find out what's new, what's not, what's
| |
| | but there are some boundaries that you
|
| in style, what kind of designs people are
| |
| | don't want to cross, while others you
|
| looking for, etc. You also need to keep
| |
| | need to break through.3. E-commerce.
|
| up-to-date with your subject/theme as
| |
| | Yes, it's fully possible! It will take
|
| some change on a regular basis (Example:
| |
| | some setting up though, but I've recently
|
| Politics). Keeping informed and
| |
| | realized how I can just pick up the phone
|
| up-to-date will give you the leading edge
| |
| | and order a set of hoodies, wait four
|
| over your competitors, bring back
| |
| | days until they're on the doorstep, pay
|
| customers time after time, and most
| |
| | for them a month later online, etc.
|
| importantly it will make sales.Third
| |
| | Also, I can call up the fabric company
|
| Party shops Vs. Your Own Website
| |
| | down the road, or one in wellington, get
|
| Should I invest in my own website or use
| |
| | them to send me samples of denim, call
|
| a third party website to host my T-Shirt
| |
| | them back and order a set amount of denim
|
| designs? If you are thinking about doing
| |
| | to be sent to my garment manufacturer,
|
| every aspect of the T-Shirt business
| |
| | and then call him and tell him how many
|
| yourself (including making the T-Shirts),
| |
| | of what I want right from my rocking
|
| then I suggest you invest in a website
| |
| | chair at home.4. Online selling. Totally
|
| (not a free website hosting service), but
| |
| | possible if you use ebay or know how to
|
| first try out a third party website that
| |
| | set up an E-commerce website yourself,
|
| makes the T-Shirts for you (no risk
| |
| | but getting the credit card system sorted
|
| involved or investment needed) to see if
| |
| | out is a major cost. Lots of girls shop
|
| you can make your business a success.
| |
| | online now, you just need to know how to

| your own website.There are many online
| |
| | Make sure your friends buy your products
|
| third party websites available on the

| Internet that you can choose from that
| |
| | stickers, advertising your shop, wherever
|
| will create and ship the T-Shirts to your
| |
| | you can. Be shameless because designers
|
| customers (risk free with no money
| |
| | are really admired (as opposed to being a
|
| invested) and therefore, save you the
| |
| | 'salesperson'), especially if your
|
| hassle of actually having to deal with
| |
| | product is favorable.6. Don't waste your

| all the work, like printing the T-Shirts

| rules (Example: not providing you with
