 Re: What is your average profit margin per shirt?
I am a small volume buyer. I am located in So Ca where Alpha, Staton, TSC as well as others are within 15 minutes from each other. Alpha just moved to So Cal and I was at the ISS Long Beach Show and asked the guy that was to be my inside sales rep for case pricing so I could compete for the bigger shops. He asked me who I was buying my shirts from. He wanted to take buisness from that supplier so he gave me case pricing and 30 days dating. I now have same deal at TSC.
I would say GO TO A TRADE SHOW so you can meet the suppliers all in one place. Get to know who your inside and outside salesman name. They are at the trade show not just to pass out catalogs and show you their new items. They want more buisness and we be a little more aggresive at a show.
