We are on vacation and i found out about a show that is here in town and we went to it.
First off there is so much here about all the trade shows showing T Shirts but this show i found is a gift show.
This kind of show has many venders that sell wholesale to the gift store owners around the country.
So in place of paying to be in a high end T Shirt and apparel show you could be in a show like this and sell your products right to store owners that will be selling your products all year long and buying right from you.
This is the kind of show that when a buyer from the T Shirt and apparel show buys your stuff they come to this kind of show to sell your stuff to stores to sell but you can be in this show and show your T Shirts right to the store owners and sell right to them with no middle man.
The show had around 1300 booths in 3 buildings.
Lot and Lots of people selling their T Shirts even Art brand had a booth selling Shirts.
After going to a show like this and seeing all the T Shirt designs people are selling i think it would be very hard to come up with something that is very new and exciting that has not been done all ready.
The avarage wholesale price they are selling Ts for is $3 to $6 with the $6 having a lot of design colors and detail in them.
Very full and colorfull rhinestone shirts go for $7.50
The show we went to is here and they have a few a year.
Welcome to The International Gift Exposition in the Smokies
They have shows around the country
Another gift show is next week
Smoky Mountain Gift Show, Inc.
If you did not know about this kind of show i hope this helps out anyone wanting to sell their Shirts right to stow owners.
This could be the better kind of show to be in
