I don't think many of them take unsolicited submissions.

Your best bet might be to start selling them on your own, and then maybe take your products to a few tradeshow that the buyers visit.

also setting them up on a website for sale might help. Like Rodney mentioned most companies will not take unsolicited submissions. Good Luck

I've been in selling them now for two years and I'm doing pretty good in the urban market in NYC, DC and SC. I also have a been doing ok through my website tcartel.com . I just wanted to learn about another avenue in which to sell my product. I didn't however realize that there are trade show for slogan and graphic t-shirts. Can I pick your brain on this subject?

Default Re: Selling my work

My last message was probably not clear ( I'm at work and trying to do 4 things at once) I've been in the t-shirt biz for two years now and I'm doing pretty well in the urban markets of NY, DC and SC. I also have a website thats doing ok (lack of promotion is to blame) I was inquiring about selling my designs and slogans to the bigger companies in the hopes of finding another avenue to sell my product. I didn't know that that there were trade shows for slograph (slogan & graphic) T-shirts. Can I pick your brain on the subject of trade shows?

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. There are tradeshow for "t-shirts" in general where retail brick and mortar store buyers go to purchase printed t-shirts in wholesale to stock in their store.

If you do a forum search for tradeshows, you'll find lots of info on a few of them.
