Everyone wears shirts. It’s right up there with water and oxygen for the average human’s basic needs. Which is why a lot of people also get into the business of selling shirts.
It seems easy enough on the onset. You design shirts, find a printer to make the shirts and sell. But there’s more to it than that.
The hassles of starting a t-shirt business with the traditional way
Ask any shirtpreneur about their experience of starting a t-shirt business and they’ll tell you about the hell you’ll have to go through in running one. You’ll probably have to start with just a few designs too. For just three designs, you’ll already have to spend around P20,000 to get decent rates.
Then you’ll have to find a supplier. And if you want a cheap supplier that probably means visiting Divisoria. Then you canvass other suppliers, and once you’ve decided, you go back and pay them a down payment to have your shirts made.
From there you’ll wait two weeks before the shirts arrive. And when they do, you’ll have to do some heavy lifting to bring the shirts back to your place. From there you’ll have to quality check every single one of them. And if they don’t pass your quality check, you’ll have to bring out Mr. Tough Guy while you convince the supplier to replace the low-quality shirts.
Now comes the selling. Unless you played it safe and pre-sold your shirts before production, you would expose yourself to the risk of overstocking, or investing in too many of the wrong sizes.
