I have talked to many of you over the last few years and have found that many of you have followed a certain path to surviving in this garment decorator business. You have diversified your business. Many have tried to start a "Tee or Apparel Business" with your branded shirts. You have done a lot of leg work to try to get your brand to stores. Many did not have a clue to how this was done but you set up your business anyway. Some of you have succeeded. Many have failed. But from my contacts both here on the forum and through my email contacts I found many of you have diversified your business by looking beyond you brand and opening you minds to other aspects of the business. You have added custom shirts for businesses, organizations, schools and other areas such as promotional products. Some of you have added embroidery to your business. many of you have added vinyl products both in apparel and signs. This was one of my best choices and really pushed my business in to high gear. So the jest of this is those of you that are struggling to stay afloat because you have limited yourself in doing only one thing should look at the other areas that are open to you. Having a heat press gives you the ability to do more then just your brand. Not saying that is a road that could lead to success but there is so much more available to you. Lou
