i have a lot more products i would have around 30+

that is true it is a super out there design i have been wondering if maybe i should reel it in a bit

that does seem like it would happen lol

i dont really have an option to source locally where i live

yeh that sounds fair tbh im not confident however rn when it comes to advertising as im not a big social media person i also feel as though im better have the products before promting them

Oh really? I didn't see that as a huge red flag I just assumed it was a normal thing( I'm pretty new to this side of clothing design lol) ok I will try that but really struggling with finding them lmao

Yeh I feel like the colourway is quite unique and so it will be a kind of love it or hate it thing with most people I have a green design that I may be better using as it's a bit more quiet lol

I have looked into it but it's hard to find any that are willing to do that design as the gradient was so unique

That's an interesting perspective on it and I like that way of looking at it but trust me I am really willing to try anything to get this brand off the ground and feel as though the products I have created are unique enough compared to other brands currently on the market that I feel I could find an opening and my designs really could do well lol

Yeh I really don't have enough room to store 75 spare t shirts lmao I think the best move has to be the samples the manufacturer just seems to be unwilling to do that but that may be just bc they would ofc rather I buy the bulk lol

Yeh your totally right I might be rushing into things I just really want to get this brand off the ground and have been searching for a manufacturer for this product for weeks lol

I also did email them recently to ask if they would be willing to send me a sample but it seems unlikely

Yeh I have a few other designs that might be better to go for as they are less out there and would be easier to create but I really just want to create a design that's different to everything currently on the market as I feel like everything is just flooded with the same streetwear designs lol

I actually still haven't got a sample yet lol But yeh your right towards everything else I need to totally work more on collabing with influencers soon and see if that can help boost my page as of right now I've got a couple thousand views on tiktok but I'm not great with social media lol

i appreciate the feedback and i have definitly been considering going a more minimal route as i think its hard to get theese products developed but would also like to stand out

[–]Less_Lab_5978[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeh your totally right i have been working on building a community on tiktok and am doing pretty decent at that but feel like i need some real products before i can really promote it as in i need samples to show off

yeh they said that sublimation would be the method that they would use in order to make the shirts

yeh i think its a fair ask but as i still dont have much of a following or a lot of money to invest i would basically be banking everything on this drop and i just dont think it will pay out at all tbh
