Question Hat Press... Is it worth it?

Hello all,
Just was considering adding a hat press to my business this year. Just wondering if it will really help my business or not.

What kind of luck have you all that have the hat presses been having? Has it increased sales? Or do you have a good used hat press you need rid of?

Thanks!

Well that would depend on the market you have. Ask yourself, how much will it cost me to how many I can sell to how much effort involved with advertising. If you have an area that hats are a big thing to the public, then Id say tear it up.

The main thing is to find out if your customers are interested in hats. Why not ask them instead?

I love my hat press ! I take it to events and use it for hats and left chest designs. The hat press can press many places, other than just hats. LOL .... JB

Hey thanks guys and gals. I guess I've got to go buy a computer this week. The one I'm on now is about used up and I need a laptop to take with me to events anyway. But, I will be investing in a hat press very soon.

Thanks again. You guys are great for encouragement!!!!!

I've seen a demo video of a hat press used to print on umbrellas.
