This my first post.
It's my second season.
I'm a screen printer (newbie)..
I just got Tom Knights' program on building a website.
I'm really wondering how to go about sending out single orders, of my own preprint line, to pay for its self. As far as setting the screen up each time just to do one print, package and address it?
Also, what is the best way to label their address to save time of hand writing?
For that matter are those $29 labelers worth it to put the size and price on it.
I've also been nervous that I might get a massive amount of hits as far as the online orders go.
Thanks!!

Just buy a simple label pack from office depot for the buyers address. If you have a preprint line, then the shirts should be preprinted?...Just buy some stock and print a few of each size and store them until you need to ship them out.

As far as being nervous about massive amount of online orders, don't be, cause it probably won't happen right away or if at all.

Have you decided on a shopping cart yet? The cart will take care of printing a shipping label for you. Depending on the cart, you may even be able to print the label with postage already included.

Why would you be nervous about getting massive amount of orders?

I guess what would make me nervous is if I did get a huge order, is the fact is that it's just a two person operation. About the max I did in a day last summer was probably 450 shirts.

My friend, I wish I had the problem of fulfilling 450 single shirt orders @ what--$15+ each.

You've either got a genius (new website) marketing plan you are not telling us about or you're being overly optimistic. Either way, I would worry about that when the time came.
