Re: thinking about starting a mail order company
I think that one thing thats missing in the performance tuning world is dedication to customer service. we need a sponsor that will cater to all customers no matter what location. I always have a hard time finding people who will ship to a APO address, and if they do the usually tripple charge on shipping. a few people here has been good on the shipping: stealthmode, and tuner toys.
right now I am in the market for a golden eagle block, and can't find anyone that will send it to APO. so that will be a great asset. to your military, canadian, and international customers. also carry a wide variety of brands |
Re: thinking about starting a mail order company
well, i just did a quick search and there are quite a bit of restrictions when shipping to an APO address. so, the extra cost in shipping may be nessicary to cover the extra effort and costs. i cant say for sure till i ship to one though. i can say i dont plan to make any money on shipping, only on the product its self.
BTW: T shirt designs are on the way. after they are HMT approved i will post a poll to pick the top 3 designs |
Re: thinking about starting a mail order company
Speaking from experience, you might end up spending more money on shirts than you make. You either need a top of the line printer or be able to replace printer on a regular basis. Also to make profit, you will have to buy in bulk up front.
The quality of an iron on transfer is not as good as a screen printed shirt. You could always use CafePress, but you will not make much money going that route. Cafepress also has some strict copy write regulations. I doubt you will get them to print anything with the word ------ on it. My boyfriend just made shirts for an Impala race event and there were too many orders to make himself. He ended up using Cafe Press to fill the orders and was barely able to break even. Depending on the shirt or hat, you will also have to edit your design. If it is not your design, you will have to become a Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator expert. People also like variety, so changing it up will make you more. With each change, you have to change the art work. Here is an example of what I am talking about. This is everything he has to offer just for this event. http://www.cafepress.com/lisstlucky7s This is his custom art work, so it was much easier to change it up. He could charge less than Cafepress on these shirts, but he would have burned up a printer on the 100+ shirts that were ordered. |
Re: thinking about starting a mail order company
i have a friend that owns a screen printing buisness and he will hook me up with a deal and he would print anything i want on it, but i really dont think i want to put ------ on it. maybe nignog but i doubt that too.
