I'd like to see everyones creativity and decision making skill.




I will set up certain amounts of money for you to use and you list the equipment/products/supplies in general that you would buy for your clothing business.


This will be fun and ofcoarse help those who just so happen to need ideas/ direction.

You can purchase 1 item with the full amount or many items. Just dont go over the amount given.


What would you buy with the following budgets:

$500.00

$1000.00

$5000.00

$30,000.00

$100,000.00


Then finaly, if money was not an issue what would your dream set up be?


Have fun guys,


Cory

This post would be ridiculously long if I covered each budget, butttt:

If I had 100,000 dollars I would buy some of the following:

For Product Development
-Belt Printer
-Industrial Sewing Machine
-Screen Printer
-CS3
-iMac

For Product Marketing
-HD Video Camera
-High Def Canon Photography Camera
-Industrial Full-Color Printer
-Gloss Paper, Cardstock, Etc.

Those are the basics. I still have a lot of learning to do within this industry, but that's where I hope to be some day. All my needs- kept under one roof.

What would you buy Cory?

I'll admit I am an EXTREME newbie to all of this. I jumped into starting my own business from a lay off lol.

But I will give it a try,


For $30,000.00


-A MAC
-All the ink and chemicals needed
-Huge conveyor dryer
-Exposure unit
-Washout sink
-8 color 4 station press with joystick
-Screens

The rest used for various marketing like you said.

For $100K I would lease a 14 station auto screen print, a 54" solvent printer, and a 20 head embroidery machine, get an 8K/sqft industrial space, hire a couple of hungry outsides sales people and a good shop manager, get a good artist, hold my breath and start running.
Target sales would be $400K/Month within 4 months.

I'm guessing most of us are in the 1000.00 to 5000.00 budget range.

Anyone care to expand on that?

If I only had $1K I would just do outside sales and outsource everything. I would make a deal with my suppliers to get a 10-15% commish and then purchase equipment when I was doing $500K/year in sales.
