What do you mean exactly by distribution?

Different companies do it in different ways. Some may outsource production to China, some may use manufacturers in the US, some may use a local screen printer with ready made/relabeled blanks.

hey Rodney

What I want to know is if these guys use companies to make their ranges and also get the products into store via international wholesale ect.

or are the stuff made and taken to the brand storage facility where it is distro to buyers?

if that single guy/girl brand to be was starting out today they would do it with a cafe press store, a spreadshirt store and few others.

they would spend a few years trying things and in all probability would continue to grow etc....

but, not all make it to be the Big Shot Brand. Even if you know everything about them and emulate them, ....that's life (i like the frank sinatra version of that song " That's Life").

Hey T-bot

sure does these days.


a website e-commerce selling venue will give you worldwide exposure to a huge market a click away....everyone has a computer and with Bill, Google and others making it so easy to use, ignoring web-sales would hurt....I Tink.

Work how? They would produce your merchandise and handle any orders you send.

Your work would be to advertise and market your products so you generate sales.

You would need to contact Raw Talent Inc directly for the details.

Yes, I think they do. Best to contact them directly for more info on their services.

du-no them.

but Rod or Lewis might.



in the past, I've walked into a Sales Agency show room in NY (broadway), placed an order and it shipped out of a Jersey warehouse distribution center.


I guess thats one way.


These days, a lot of Brands like the NHL with online stores, will consider Plastisol Transfers and fill on demand.


...but the variables and options depend on your manufacturing strategy that will compliment your end goal....i guess.
