I am not in the shirt biz but why do they cost so much to produce? $24 wholesale on a shirt is very very steep here, more than retail even.

That must be how they wholesale in the Bizzaro World!

But I think the normal practice would be to find out how much the shirts are selling in the store for, and then offer them at 50%. Someone might correct me on this one though.

There are a few threads on this if you search the forums for retailers.

Also check the threads in the Offline Retail section of the forum.

Also look at the "Similar Threads" heading at the bottom of this page. There are some links to information on calculating wholesale pricing for retail shops.

Basically, the wholesale price is half of your retail price (because the store will want to mark up the product at least 100%).

what you should do is first figure out you cost... from printing to hang tags. after you have a solid number, you take between 30 - 50 % of your cost and add it. whatever you get between the cost and the %'s is what you offer to the retailers.

Ex: cost $8
40% of $8 is = $3.20
offer to sell each piece at 8 + 3.20 = $11.20 / shirt

try to ask for a minimum thought. "ya ill sell you each shirt at $11 but you have to purchase a minimum of 36 qty.

this is just a rough estimate from researching in other parts of this forum..

let me know what you think
