Default how do I sell my tshirts?

Whilke I would have a website, I would prefer to do the bulk of my selling in retail.

Do I got to a distributor or do I go store by store or do I try a big chain like Target or Macys?

Personally, I would go to the mom and pop, or very small chain stores first. Get a feel for it, and start from there. Little specialty shop or tourist shops. I think your designs and shirts would get lost is a sea of blah blah blah in a large retail store. Plus, I can't tell you how many screen printed t-shirts there are for $5 on a bargain rack at large stores. There is no market value there. IMO

A good way to reach a lot of retailers is to go to tradeshows and setup a booth for your product line.

Tradeshows are where the major buyers go to look for new products to put into their stores.

I think it's still a good idea for you to have a website to be a brochure (or sales tool) for you when people want to find out about your brand on their own time.

I have been selling at street parties sponsored by nearby towns. These are a great way to get some visibility.

The original poster says they plan to have a website, but they are looking at how to get offline wholesale orders.

Sorry for not clarifying my question

What is the best way to sell online and through retail chains?
I usually provide physical retailers a way to go online to pick products or fashions from our new or popular lines of goods. That way I do not have to answer so many phone calls a day. What would be the best way to display my products?

Hi Cameo, please start a separate topic for your question so that it won't be confused with the answers to the original poster's question
