I've begun working on some new t-shirt designs. The first ones to be offered will be very basic, with just the site logo, but I have some ideas for more designs in the coming months. I plan to set up a store through a vendor that does print on demand and fulfillment all in one (as opposed to ordering a bunch of shirts from a local screen printer, taking the orders and shipping each order out myself - I simply don't have the bandwidth to do that). The benefit of doing it this way is that we will have a LOT more product options and colors available to us than we would if I did it the other way - basic tees, premium tri-blends, hoodies, hats, kids shirts, coffee mugs, etc, in various color options. The downside is that the shirts might be a little more expensive than if I bought the inventory. I only plan to mark things up a few bucks for each item to have it go towards the operating costs so hopefully the costs won't be too bad.
I'll be ordering some of the designs I make available to ensure the designs are printed correctly and that the quality of the product is good, but I can't promise I'll be ordering one of every single product we make available, as it would cost hundreds of dollars to do so and I don't know for sure that I'd recoup that cost. I am familiar with the brands they have and will try to only use the ones I'm confident most people will like. I'll have to rely on you guys for feedback on what you receive. If you're not happy with something you order please take photos and share it with me, then just return it to the vendor and get your money back.
Here are some initial mock-ups of some of the designs I've been working on - again, just the logo with different colors:
Yup, I plan to offer shirts with the old logo too, for those of you who want one.
I wish I had more control over how they display these in the store, I don't seem to have a way of NOT having a model wearing them. Oh well.
