If you have an existing apparel decorating business, there is no need to look further than your existing customer base. Everyday you are delivering orders to your customers; why not add a little advertisement in the form of a printed shirt to the order? With the holidays upon us it may be a good idea to come up with a good holiday design and print it on a t-shirt and include it with every order you deliver. Make sure you put your logo on the shirt (small is okay) and include a brief note “introducing” your customers to the direct to garment process, maybe even offer a discount on their first direct to garment order for a limited time if they mention the note you included. If you want a more generic approach (for times other than the holiday season), try coming up with a collage design that shows a family reunion, little league sports team, In Memory of, Looks who’s 40 and the like on it. Any type of event that may merit a t-shirt to commemorate it would be good on this shirt. Use your imagination and watch the orders start coming in.
If you are starting up a business with the direct to garment printer, more than likely you had some direction prior to your purchase. It doesn’t hurt to “fish” a bit for more business, however. If you have a passion (soccer, football, fishing, dogs, cats, etc.), try to find a local group that will provide a venue for you show custom t-shirts that you can produce either onsite or by taking orders. Going to a dog show or a custom car show with a “generic” custom shirt, a digital camera and an order pad can be a good way to get orders. Make sure to include enough profit in the order to be able to Priority Mail the finished garment to the customer ($4 should be enough). You can also try taking out ads in small, local periodicals as well – they are usually inexpensive and target specific geographic areas or demographics.
If your business model is more business to business (B2B) – like promotional products companies – then a slightly different approach will work. Invest in one of the inexpensive business card scanners (they are available for less than $150) and simply pick up business cards from prospective clients and generate a custom shirt with their logo on it and bring it in to them. This is a great ice breaker and can very easily open doors for you, maybe for even more business other than just your direct to garment printer. With a little cleanup you may also be able to pull this feat off from potential customers’ websites (be aware that most web graphics are only 72 DPI – so you may need to do a bit of software magic!).
These are not the only ways to make money with your DTG, but they are a good start. If you notice one thing – all of these methods involve actually printing a sample shirt and showing or giving it to a prospective client. They need to be sold on this process, just as you were when you bought your machine. Odds are that you requested and received a sample prior to making the commitment to “go digital”. Besides, it’s good for your machine to print everyday, so why not turn maintenance into advertisement!
