Default Your business in a nutshell?

Anyone care to share general info on their business? ie-web/brick and mortar-own label-commercial and possibly volume with each. Not a bragging thread please. Just so some of us rookies get an idea.

There are a few threads here that talk about what type of business people are in. People generally don't discuss their income though.

Arrow Re: Your business in a nutshell?

Headstrong Graphic Solutions has been open in the
Myrtle Beach area since the first of the year. right now we have one 6/4 manual press, and are already in the market for an automatic press in the next 4-5 months. Our shop is about 1200 sq. feet, and there is not much room to spare. Headstrong is rapidly growing with the basic equipment that we have now,(exposure unit, washout booth, conveyor and flash dryers)...and only going to grow faster as the business pays for its own expansions. We recently found an excellent supplier for our chemicals and ink, which will drastically improve profits. Another aspect that greatly improved business was finding a good and steady wholesale customer, As well as a great T-shirt supplier.
In the last 3 months Headstrong has grown beyond anyones expectations, and is expected to continue. Hiring employees in the production department is in the works as we speak, and that can only help us grow faster. well... I hope some of this info. is helpful....what were you looking for in particular?

Yeah stuff like that.
I guess I should've started.

I sort of got thrown into this-lol
I have a DTG Kiosk-non white. I had a web site done for me by a friend and he bailed on me. So I am trying to figure that out on my own. I like to do artistic type shirts-not into production. So to say the least no money made as of yet. But here is to tryin

Income is a sensitive subject but you might be able to get some info out of private messaging

I am a rookie!

I'm all online retailer at the moment but I have been contacted about wholesaling.

I also design shirts, web, logos, ecommerce sites, basic graphic design stuff.

I'm also going to a finishing school to learn advertising.
