I'm looking forward to becoming a vendor at some major events, but i'm having trouble getting my merchandise setup. How much merchandise did you have to purchase upfront or did you work out net terms with your suppliers?

This is one of the biggest challenges when you're self-funding your own start-up. We had to pay for our shirts and printing up front. We over-ordered on our first big convention we did, then learned how to scale back and bring a more appropriate level of inventory. Part of it comes from experience with each event, depending on the event itself, and part of it is just really some guesswork.
