I've got a few t-shirt designs in the works, but I haven't figured out how I'm going to sell them once I get them printed. I've had a few friends take a bunch of orders and then get the printing done based on the sizes requested, delaying the individual customer's actual order altogether. I wonder if there isn't "typical size" data somewhere that could predict the percentage of each size (small, medium, large, etc.) per batch so that I could have 100 or so shirts printed and not get stuck with too many smalls, extra larges, and so on. Anyone have ideas on this, or maybe want to share their own experience? 2009-02-25T00:16:15-05:00 6 2009-02-24T17:19:41-05:00 14745 false false 575 575 1 2009-11-08T06:59:01-05:00 172 It really depends on who your customers are. Typically the break downs are 1:2:2:1:1 for men, but that certainly isn't always the case. Personally, we sell a lot of L and XL. 14745 Post 2009-02-24T17:22:54-05:00 383041 4931 2009-02-24T17:22:54-05:00 Good point, John. I guess my "customers" would typically be more in the geek/designer/developer category. People who spend time on Flickr/Twitter/Facebook and sites like this one right here. I suppose I need to think about both guys and girls sizes too, which my original question didn't address. Thanks for chiming in though, I appreciate it. 14745 Post 2009-02-24T17:28:38-05:00 383053 575 2009-02-24T17:28:38-05:00 You could use one of those merchnow or storenvy deals they handle all the shipping and whatnot. I think merchnow does that, correct me if I'm wrong. 14745 Post 2009-02-24T17:50:14-05:00 383100 506 2009-02-24T17:50:58-05:00 Anybody selling any 2xl-3xl size shirts? My normal customers were buying tall tees from xl-6xl but now I'm gonna start carrying small-6xl to hopefully have something for everybody that's interested. I think I lost a lot of sales by only offering xl-6xl on my site. Which is what the stores wanted. I had huge success in stores first and seem to be working in reverse by now getting my web-site sales together. 14745 Post 2009-02-24T19:18:43-05:00 383218 8433 2009-02-24T19:18:43-05:00 It all comes down to your target market, who your selling to. 14745 Post 2009-02-24T19:46:03-05:00 383255 537 2009-02-24T19:46:03-05:00 I'm not really looking to have another company handle the shipping because I'm not expecting to have a lot of inventory or a ton of sales to be honest. Plus I'd like to keep it low key and personal, so I don't mind taking care of the packaging and shipping myself. 14745 Post 2009-02-25T00:16:15-05:00 383577 575 2009-02-25T00:16:15-05:00
