The most receptive to me have been privately owned businesses. The big franchises and chain stores all seem to get their products done by the "home office" so to speak. I've seen shirts in my city advertising tanning salons, car repair shops, electric companies, contractors, restaurants, specialty auto parts, you name it. They are out there, but they don't know that you are until you or someone else tell them. Ask around, you find that you know a lot of people that have their own businesses that might want to talk to you or know someone else that does. I talked to someone today at one of those check cashing places that said she would be interested in some shirts for a car club that she's a member of. You never know until you ask.
Also don't worry so much about getting the big orders first. Get every order that you can get and the big orders will come.
