Best Online T-Shirt Companies and Their Business Model

You should know these two types of T shirt business model before I tell you about the best T shirt selling platforms for Indians.

Method 1: Print On Demand

This business model gives a minimum goal to their users (Ex: 3 or 5) to cut off costs and thus it is more profitable for the sellers (as you are selling multiple apparel orders at once).

MyDreamStore

MyDreamStore is founded by Karthik Venkat and Satish Bala. Here, you can sell your custom T shirt, hoodies, posters, Laptop Skin, coffee mugs and bags without spending a single dime. It sounds good. Isn’t it. All you need to is to make your design, upload it, set a minimum goal and you are all set to launch your first campaign at once without any hassle.

I am assuming that you have created your account already. Common!! let’s go inside to see how does it go?

You’ll notice “start a campaign” on top right hand side, click it and you will be redirected into a new window. Choose an appropriate product (Bags, T shirts, hoodie, Coffee mug, posters and Laptop skin) and upload your design or utilize in-built clip art with mirror effect and image filters.

But if you want to design your own then you need to follow their guidelines (max. 1754*2481 pixels and 2/3 colors) for uploading successfully. It has few advantages and disadvantages which you should know before start selling. It’s by far, the best online T shirt designing site I know!

FreshMonk is quite similar to MyDreamStore (according to features). But you can sell your products in 20+ countries and this is why it’s different from the rest.

Pros:

  • Minimum Goal is 2
  • International sales (20+ countries)
  • Very Clean interface and no pixel rules for uploading a design

  • Approval process takes 2 to 3 days to check your artwork
  • COD isn’t available. Only Online payment.

Use Online Ads to Promote your T-Shirt Sales

If you have just started and lacking on budget ( or no budget) then you may implement these following techniques to bring sales.

Facebook groups & pages: If you are a part of several active groups then you can use this opportunity to sell your T shirts. Similarly, if you’re following active pages within your niche then you can request admin (via message) to pin your sales post at top on their page.

It works if you can select an active page for your niche.

Note: But you should remember few things while doing this such as don’t send too many sale request to the admins as it is annoying. Your design should be very strong (attractive) which force people to buy like crazy.

Pay-per-click Advertising: You’ve already recognized Facebook advert. But I am going to tell you about another platform for advertising. Did you hear about Instagram?

Oh! Yes!!

Do you know Instagram is a Facebook company?

So, what does it mean?

It means you can put ads on Instagram to reach more buyers as well?

So, basically you can use both free and paid adverts now.

Are you ready to kick-start your campaign now?
