Design Outsourcing
I just posted a qustion – tshirts,screenprinting and outsourcing to propose to co. I work for – more detail -?
Thinking of developing a tshirt line and propose to the retail co. I work for – anyone know the steps to take? – I failed to mention I work directly with the buyer (friend of mine) for a chain of 15 stores and I’ve already pitched the idea to him and it’s a go – I just need to know the steps to take to get the t-shirts made – outsource? if so, where? or…buy a screen printer and do it myself – I’m wanting to just test in one store that’s requesting a certain design for now – thanks for the help!
Since you’ve never been in business before, I would strongly recommend that you talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. You have to determine whether you’ll start a web based business or one with a store front. I’d call the local office of SCORE (go to http://www.score.org and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE.
The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a tshirts, screenprinting business and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you’ll concentrate on (your market ) and how you’ll go after them.
You’ll need to register the business with your state controller’s office and make sure that you have any city and county licenses if any are needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan.
