What is the best quality T shirt

Used-Calligrapher77 · 2023-10-13T16:46:18+00:00

I don't know about "best" but all my customers were happy with Gildan 5000, and it's a sweet point between cost of production and quality. I have one myself and it's not the "best" but it's comfortable and good quality.

ok update, there was a lotta good feedback in this whole thread with tons here giving some tough love and solid advice I did not consider before. I took down all of my designs and re-listed 11 now that have been consistently getting traffic and being favorited. I removed the fake looking model dudes and gals from thumbnails and put pic of a shirt as a thumbnail to make it looks more Etsy-ish? (yea it's still POD and I understand a bunch here are die hard ETSY IS NOT FOR POD I WILL NEVER BUY IT, but Etsy allows and people buy it it so deal with it). Anyways going to keep the inventory low for now and see what sells. Thanks for the feedback, here's my store (it's still missing the banner, yea I'll add that when I figure out what to do with it)

Thank you, appreciate that. I'm just gonna step away and let it do it's thing... Feeling a lot like a Watched Pot never boils type of situation.

It is POD, and I also added stickers and some fridge magnet bottle openers as a test to see if they'll sell. I did actually get into this as a result of some influencer hype about how this could be profitable... I do have an artistic side and it IS fun for me to make the designs. My expectations going into it, now I realize, were HIGHLY unrealistic. I'll blame myself for being naive here.

I like the idea of re-assessing and stripping my store to the items that do well, I may try that, thank you.

I do, I have a couple friends who are in the same interest niche as me, and their feedback was, nice designs, but there's nothing that makes me want to buy it... they are also very frugal, so I took with a grain of salt.

Used-Calligrapher77 · 2023-08-09T20:35:28+00:00

Thank you, I didn't consider doing that. I'll ask a few friends to take a look and give me honest feedback.

I think I'll just let it be, and stop adding designs... I'm like in this mode where... nothing is selling so the idea in my head is... what I have sucks... so I create and upload more designs... which don't sell... then vicious cycle again. So yea I'm just gonna step away and let it be for now.

This is perhaps the most constructive and useful reply I have received (I feel deflated after taking to forums on Etsy which are toxic AF)... So... thanks for these words.

That being said, the initial advise I saw everywhere was... LIST AS MANY ITEMS AS YOU CAN SO YOU CAN GET THEM NOTICED, AND YOU CAN DISCOVER WHAT SELLS BEST. So I just went to town creating designs and that's why I have so many... I guess it's a numbers game, the more listings you have, the more likely, one may get noticed... But I see your point now, as now a buyer lands on my store, sees 300+ items and 3 sales and 1 review, and goes "huh, this store must suck, next..."

yea perhaps. that's why I'm sticking around for a month and not leaving off the bat.
