Default Your shop...custom, set design or both?

Im curious....How many of us here just do custom (made to order)t's, or just do their own custom designs.......or offer both?

I just do custom t's, but am thinking of somehow getting some of my art on some t-shirts.

We do but. Our custom design portion is under a different company name, dealing with mostly local businesses.

For starting, custom designing is bringing in more operating revenue for us. But, we're hoping that once our name is "out there", the name brand will carry us. Custom design is often associated with "cheap" or "mass produced" but it's a lot more flexible since everyone is your customer. Building a brand takes A LOT of work, since you need demand to sell your name and you're limited to a certain demographic. But if a brand is in demand, it's a lot more profitable in the long run.
