Default Re: starting out and number of designs

I am building my online shop now and, allthough I have a job too, the money I can spend is limited.
I agree with you that it is not really important if you have one or one hundred different designs. The only thing that counts is that you sell what the customer wants to buy.
However, the more shirts you offer, the greater the chance that a customer will find what he is looking for.

Therefore I make my designs digitally using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I made a picture of a shirt and combined it with the designs. This way I want to start with about 15 different designs. The shirts are not printed untill somebody orders it.
The local screen printer promissed to print the shirts the same day. Of every design ordered 15 shirts will be printed. This is more expensive than larger quantities, but the risk is limited too.
