Hi Guys. Can some of you maybe give me advise on the following:

We have a big event coming up, which includes MX, FMX, Surf, Bmx and skate here in South Africa. Looking to be a big event over 3 days. We want to get a stand and sell our brand.

How many designs and what quantities do we need to bring along for it? For example if we pick 4 designs, 2 guys 2 girls which includes Tees and Tank tops. How many of each design would you recommend.

Thanks in advance

Do you have existing sales outlets?
How much is the stand going to cost?
How much are you buying for?
What are you selling for?

The chances of doing a one-off event and coming home with more money than you started with are very slim. You will in all probability show an 'on paper' profit, but much of that will be tied up in left over inventory. You will need an outlet to sell your leftover stock to realise your profit.

Whatever you take you will need to sell about half of it to end up with more cash than you started with, when the overheads are taken into consideration.

eg If your overhead is 200, and you buy 100 shirts at 8 (800) your costs will be 1000. You will need to sell 50 at 20 to get your 1000 back. The remaining 50 will be 'profit' ( if you can sell it).
