July 14, 2016 / by Marco / Categories : Business, design, website
Many people fail to realize how endless the options are when trying to create a graphic t-shirt. You can use the many options to create a graphic t-shirt that people will want to buy. Being a success in the world of t-shirts can mean the acquisition of fame and fortune. If designing and producing graphic t-shirts interests you, then you need to do your homework so you can come up with an appealing design that may use glow in the dark material or other eye catching things. The more you work at it; the better off you will be in the long run. The following are a few tips on designing and selling graphic t-shirts.
Fashionable and Cool
One of the first things you need to do when choosing a design for your t-shirts is to make sure they are fashionable and accessible to a wide array of different people. If you aim the design of your shirt towards a specific group, then your success will be limited. Using different icons from pop culture is a great way to get your shirts noticed right away. The more time you put into the design and aesthetic appeal of your shirt, the more successful you will be in the future.
The Nuts and Bolts of the Operation
After the design phase of your t-shirt, you will need to start thinking about a method of mass production. One of the most efficient and cost effective methods of producing graphic t-shirts is iron on transfers. By getting a heat press to iron on your graphics, you will be able to rapidly produce high quality graphic t-shirts in a cost effective manner. Methods such as screen printing are much more expensive to operate and do not produce the same quality as iron on transfers.
Promotion is Key
After producing a few hundred of your originally designed t-shirts, you need to start thinking about how to market and sell them. You need to focus on getting your shirts on the backs of as many people as possible. In some cases, you might have to give a few away just to get your design and brand out to the masses. The more color you incorporate into your design, the more attention you can get from your audience. You need to make sure that you don’t compromise the quality of your product once you start getting bigger because this will lose you more business in the long run.
Being successful in this industry will take some time and effort, but it will be worth it.
