Selling cheap custom tee shirts is a great way to raise money for a worthy cause, but organizing such a fundraiser can be a little tricky. Here are a few tips that can make it a bit easier.
Send Out an Email Blast and Let People Know You’re Selling.
If want people to buy your cheap custom tees, you need let them know you’re selling them. One of the best ways to do this is to send out an email blast and post your custom tee sale on social media. Just be sure you include a call to action in your message, telling people to let you know what size they’d like if they want to buy one. Then, collect the responses in a spreadsheet so you know how many to order.
Designate a Place People Can Go to Pay.
One of the hardest parts of selling custom tees is collecting the money. It’s not that people don’t want to pay up, it’s that they want to pay when they get their shirt, which is totally acceptable. The trouble is though that oftentimes you’ll need to use your own money to pay for the custom tees, and when people don’t ever show up to pay for them, you’re out that much. Instead, set up a PayPal account to give people another way to pay.
Choose a Shirt Printing Service That Can Set Up a Portal For You.
Believe it or not, there are some shirt printing services that can actually set up a mini-website for you to use to sell the custom tees you plan to have them make. That way, you can keep track of sizes, who ordered what, and collect the money, all in one place.
Selling custom tees to raise money is an excellent idea in theory, but a little difficult in practice. If you keep putting the word out, and make a convenient place for people to pay, you’ll find it’s much easier to do.
