Discuss the process of getting your t-shirt line into brick and mortar stores and selling offline. Topics include industry tradeshows, events, line sheets, sales reps and other retailing tips and advice.
I'll be selling at my first event next month. The event space only allows for a 6' table with 2' at the side in order to gain access to the back of table. I want to have a hanging display of shirts and I was thinking of using a freestanding grid panel with waterfall arms to hang the shirts on. My only real concern is that when I went to order the darned thing the shipping is ($37) almost as much as the panel + legs + 3 waterfall arms ($42). Does anyone know of a decent vendor that has reasonable prices and reasonable shipping, or am I just being too frugal and I should take the above deal, OR do you have a better idea than a grid panel display that'll work in limited space?
As always, thanks for the input.

I thought the same thing, but I can't seem to find any. Oh, I'm in Washington DC. Ya' don't happen to know any suppliers in my area, do ya'? That's a joke BTW.
Do you happen to do any skiing up at Whistler/Blackcomb? It sure is nice up there.

Thanks for looking. I really tried, but could only find online stores.
Even if one doesn't ski I think Whistler is a great place for a holiday. People are so nice, food is great, picturesque scenery, but the last time I was there was about 12 years ago so I hope it's still the same. We plan on taking a family trip there when out kids are a bit older.

What type of event did you do and how did it go? I am asked to do a motorcycle event on July 14.
Any recommendations for event displays?
