Hi all,

 

Was messing around with selling t-shirts.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I was looking into Zazzle and Vista Print for now.  Thanks! Laugh

Those are the two I know. You might be able to find a small, local print shop to make them for you a lot cheaper, but then you have to pre-buy them and deal with orders yourself.

I think you can make t shirts on cafepress.com if im not mistaken.  I'd check the price though – I do know it goes down with order.

What were you thinking of printing on the shirts Buck? Logo, tag line, URL? I've thought about producing a calendar, or bike tool to promote the blogs.

Eric, thanks for the tip!

 

Jeff, will look into cafepress.com.  Thanks!

 

Hunter, just tossing around a few ideas.  Not sure yet, but always weighing options!

I'm with Jeff, Cafepress.com could be a good option because you can have a shop front and just have them made on demand.  Lots of other options to expand into as well (I like the hoodies).

This is slightly off topic but I usually cringe at the thought of t-shirts. They are usually all sized for men and look exceptionally unflattering on me.

 

However, my wordpress host Page.ly sent me a t-shirt. It was a woman's cut and fitted. It was super nice with the page.ly logo on it and I did wear it around the house.

I love the idea of selling something like a t-shirt, but my only concern is if there actually is a demand for it.

Yeah, I also wonder if there is a huge demand for it. I think if it isn't just your logo, but has some catchy saying or something, people might LOVE them.

 

Thanks again Buck for bringing up a valuable thread. Keep 'em coming.

Just wanted to chime in that I will wear the living hell out of any promotional shirt as long as it fits well and the material is soft.  The softer the shirt, the more likely I wear it.  I have a TShirt I got from my bank on "College day" and because it doesn't look like most promotional shirts/fits well/is extremely soft, I wear it WAYYY too much.

Hi Shaun,

Will Cafepress out, thanks!

 

Thanks SF, will keep that in mind.

 

Hi Hank,

No demand, was thinking maybe for marketing or promotional purposes.

 

Hi Corey,

Was thinking logos and messing with other ideas.  No real demand as of yet so that's the challenge.

 

Hi JT,

Soft, comfortable shirt?  I would wear it often as well!

I did the same thing as Jacob, set up my cafepress store the second I bought my blog, had a bunch of great ideas for tag lines, and did…nothing. But now that I'm back in the swing of things I'm thinking of stepping it up, maybe starting with a screen printer I know who can make a few shirts for me to hand out to friends for when they're at the grocery store or at family picnics, or grocery tote bags. Still ruminating. Let us know how it goes for you!

Make the life you want.

Enjoy good food.

Enjoy good friends.
