The Four Types Of Funny T-Shirts Vendor

By Larson York


The Internet is getting crowded. People are rushing in to create Internet business every day, and a big potion of them seem to be selling funny t-shirts. It is getting quite hard to figure out who is worth buying from and who the unprofessional hacks really are. It almost seems that the only way to know for sure is to drop a wad of cash, buy something, and then hope that the experience goes well. I have found that if you are a patient and observant shopper, you can spot the different kinds of Internet salesman and discover the best kinds to buy from.

The most obvious type that you'll notice are the sites that are run by huge companies that own dozens, if not hundreds of different websites. These sites are extremely professional, but tend to be a bit impersonal when it comes to dealing with customer complaints or problems. They also tend to only release funny t-shirts that are already popular on other sites, so you'll never really find anything new or inspired from them. Expect great quality, slow shipping, and low levels of customer support.

Another type of Internet vendor of funny t-shirts is the quick-cash scheme. These sites never make any money because they're run by college kids who think that it will be an easy way to make a buck. What they don't realize is that any business venture takes tons of work to succeed, so these Websites usually only last for a few months to a year before the owner realizes that he loves his social life much more than sweating alone in a hot garage. Shipping will be super slow from sites like this because they only get made and shipped when the owner gets around to it.

The lazy college kid could easily become a different kind of Online funny t-shirts store. The lazy college kid could realize that if he worked really hard, he could one day have a great business that makes lots of money. He's looked at the cost of his overhead and realized that funny t-shirts are very profitable, so he begins to actually work. This is the best place to buy your funny t-shirts. You have an owner who is ready to work really hard, but has not gotten so large that he doesn't care about individual customers anymore.

There is a darker side to the Internet that anyone who has spent any amount of time browsing it will know exists in abundance. The world of funny t-shirts is not spared the corruption of shady business owners. You can usually spot these vendors from the poor design of their pages and also by the very familiar look of their t-shirts. Imagine paying $20 for a new funny t-shirt, going to a large department store, and seeing it on sale there for $5. As conniving as this may seem, it happens all the time. The only defense is a good common sense and research, so be careful.

These are, of course, just mild observations I've had through the years of scouting for funny t-shirts to buy. No one is perfect, but try your best to steer away from the sites that look bad. If there's one thing I've learned over the years of being on the Internet constantly, is that websites that are poorly designed or don't run as intended are no place to spend your money.
