Why You Should Consider Buying Locally Made Inspirational T Shirts

By Betty Evans


The internet has made it easier to get anything a person wants, when they want it from anywhere in the world. But consider a local retailer, who produces inspirational t shirts that would be buried under a mound of ads if they were to go on the internet. Here are some compelling reasons why spending money on an inspirational piece of clothing at the local store is more fulfilling than cheap item going for 50% off and free shipping online.

But first things first, before anything can happen, a few things need to be taken into consideration before any buying can take place. Consider what s going to be on that tee. An inspirational quote from somebody you happen to look up to or idolise or a lecture from your mother to motivate the people who happen to come across it to clean their rooms. What s on the tee is extremely important, better yet, what s on that tee needs to be original as failure to do so can get you in some serious trouble for copyright infringements or theft of intellectual property. So ensure that research is done properly.

But as the business develops into something more serious and less a novel idea, marketing will be one of the essential aspects of your business. Besides, the sooner you start the better more time there is to have the business exposed to the masses. Coca cola started in 1892, yet they still advertise, what would make your business any different. This might sound egotistical, but wearing your own brand or finding others to do so with you can help with spreading not only word of mouth but awareness about what you do. Even if what you do is sell t-shirts.

Supporting local businesses not only makes them grow but they make the area that surrounds you more distinctive. So what if that corner store down the road sells tees is quiet? Because it adds something unique to your area, come tourism season it makes a killing. And it also serves as an advertiser so that other people can visit as well, strengthening the tourism industry in your area, regardless of how big or small it is.

If the sales aren t coming through then it s time to place some more focus on the businesses USP or unique selling points. What makes it different from other business of the same or similar idea? Consider emphasising the business s strengths such as the exclusivity of owning the clothes that you happen to sell.

Be aware that selling the first 10 tees, regardless of what quote they may have is just as hard as going from 10 to a 100 and so on and so forth. Selling shouldn t be taken lightly, regardless of what it is. And it s made even harder when selling t-shirts that compete with every other item of fashion that goes around the head.

In order for your tees about Who s got two thumbs become a household name, they first need to appear everywhere. From dinner parties to other events that are willing to have you or allow those t-shirts as part of their dress code. Weddings and funerals might not be the best place for advertising so stick to events, parties and even reunions.

Consider selling your tees online, catering to a bigger market and can print based on demand rather than having stock lie around and develop moth holes. Starting a business isn t easy and keeping it going is even harder.
