SIX WEEKS TO T-SHIRT SUCCESS!
We want to talk to you about the very survival of your t-shirt brand. You have this amazing t-shirt company, and you’re ready to take it to the next level. Where do you see your company in 2 years, what about 5 years.
Feels good to think about that! Your clothing brand on TV. A favorite of celebrities. Social media feed that pops off the page. Having the biggest, best booth at the tradeshow with a line around the corner and chain stores banging down your doors sell your merch!
The kind of lifestyle this brings you, hanging at the best parties, driving your dream car, and a view of the ocean (or desert, or mountains). Whether your dream is to have the most luxurious house in Malibu, or to have the freedom to be a digital nomad and do yoga at every resort in the world... what you need to accomplish either dream: is the income to make those dreams a reality.
And...a laptop.
Most of the work of entrepreneurs is done in a quiet space (or loud coffee shop, if that’s your jam), with just you, a cell phone, and laptop.
And as fun as all the amazing lifestyle perks are...
We know how isolating and overwhelming growing a t-shirt company can be.
Especially when you're alone at night, after a long day's work, pounding away at that laptop and wondering if you're making the next right move for your company.
Each level of growing your t-shirt line has their own road blocks.
Early on, going from zero to that first $10k in sales there are so many questions, and so many decisions to make:
- How do I get a great logo done?
- Where can I find great web designers?
- Should I use a Print-on-Demand site or stock inventory?
- If I print t-shirt with a screen printer how many should I start out with?
- Are my designs even any good? How can I tell?
- I only have $1,000 start this company with... how should I be allocating my budget?
Seems like the questions would become less and less as time goes on, but actually...the opposite is true.
As you’re selling 300 or 500 shirts a month, there’s great news & not so great news.
Great news: You have a t-shirt company that works!!
You've moving from selling $10k a year in sales to $100,000 a year in sales. AND If you can get to 300 sales a month, then you for sure can get to 1,000 sales a month!
Not so great news: There are a million more things to figure out.
- Should I be selling in stores?
- How do I best approach the buyers?
- What’s the secret to making a really great catalog?
- How do I bundle sales?
- Should I be doing POS displays?
- What’s the best way to spend my marketing dollars?
- Should I be selling my clothing line on Amazon?
- How can I get my clothes on celebrities?
- When should I start attending tradeshows?
- How can I get more traffic to my website?
- What do I do if I get a chargeback on merchandise I’ve already sent out?
- How do I even find a list of stores to sell my shirts?
- Who are the best vendors?
As you move into selling $250,000 – $2,000,000 in annual sales the questions continue:
- What do I need to know once I start meeting with chain store buyers?
- Which terms do I need to negotiate on a 30 or 60 day net deal?
- How do I negotiate licensing deals?
- How do I factor a sale?
- How can I consistently get my clothes on TV and in the movies?
- What is the best way to create huge national buzz?
It enough to make anyone’s head swim.
Insanely, up until now: Everyone who starts this process has been reinventing the wheel.
Why on earth is it set up that way?
Because most people who have started really successful brands closely guard their secrets to success. BUT... it IS a formula.
That’s why we created TEEacher, tactical courses and lessons that answer every question that comes up as every stage of your t-shirt business.
You CAN scale up your t-shirt company from the chair you're sitting in right now. You have new badass mentors who are going to guide your way to the life of your dreams.
Before we go on. Lets tell you a little bit about who we are...
MEET THE TEEACHERS
DAN CALDWELL, FOUNDER OF TAPOUT
Dan started TapouT with $1500 he had on credit cards. He didn't know how to build a website, market a brand, get into a store. Nada. But he figured it out along the way, and grew TapouT into a massive brand selling hundreds of millions of dollars in t-shirts.
From this success Dan then became a serial entrepreneur releasing TapouT Gyms, TapouT Films, and tons other brands including GripKnife and Billionaire Collectables.
ANDREA LAKE, FOUNDER OF DELINQUENT
When Andrea first started out in apparel...she literally didn't even know what a screen print was. She figured it out quick with her first clothing company, Anti-Establishment. Which made over $1M in it's 2nd year.
Then she hit the big time: launching Delinquent Distribution which owned the sales rights to chain stores for merch for Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, The Walking Dead, etc. She sold tens of millions of t-shirts. She became a serial entrepreneur, and has launched 14 companies including StickerJunkie, YogaJunkie & Power Chick Mafia.
DANIEL DIMASSA, FOUNDER OF DIE EPIC
Daniel DiMassa made $6,000 in sales his first year of Die Epic. Then...he found TEEacher.
The second year, thanks to the TEEacher Mogul Course, Daniel did six figures in sales.
He is a total badass at Print-on-Demand, and all thing internet. So much so, that after completing the course Dan & Andrea took Daniel on as a Partner at TEEacher.
In addition to Die Epic, Daniel owns several other companies, and rental properties. He's a total adrenaline junkie. But his real passion is helping up & coming entrepreneurs to win at business.
MATTHEW GRIFFIN,
FOUNDER OF COMBAT FLIP FLOPS
Knowing that he wanted to create an amazing life for himself after retirement. Griff launched Combat Flip Flops while still an active duty Army Ranger.
He met Andrea in 2013, when he hit his first speed bump in business: the factory he was working with went out of business. Leaving him in debt, and wondering whether to go on.
With his never die attitude: Griff turned that company around. He became a Mogul Course Owner in 2016 when Combat Flip Flops was mid-6 figures in sales.
Applying the lessons he'd learned in the Mogul Course (and working his butt off)...he grew Combat Flip Flops to millions in sales. Became a contestant on Shark Tank, and secured a deal with THREE sharks: Daymond John, Lori Grenier, and Mark Cuban.
Griff has graciously agreed to be a Guest Mentor in the TEEacher Mogul Course.
WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK
When all of the Mentors for the TEEacher Mogul Course started out...they were burning the midnight oil. Just like you are right now.
They all had full time jobs when starting their clothing lines:
Dan was a Police Officer. Andrea, was an Escrow Officer. Daniel DiMassa was an App Developer. Griff was an Army Ranger.
All of us would go home after a long day on the job & spend nights and weekends at the grind. All entrepreneurs start some place & most of them start the exact same way that our TEEacher Mentors did. Hustling on the side.
There was barely any extra money to go into starting our clothing lines. Dan started out with $1,500 on his credit card. Andrea had $3,500 that she'd saved up from her job in Escrow. Daniel put every extra penny from the apps he developed in. Griff was investing the extra from his paycheck.
And any little mistake could cost us our whole budget.
All of us almost went out of business... more than once.
From dumb things we didn’t know.
Like not to over order on stock before you know what your best sellers will be.
To get your printers to sign off on exact dates that your shirts will be ready for pick up.
Most important: What was the most important way to spend the precious money we did have. Advertising? Merchandise? Website upgrades?
Later in the game we both almost went out of business for bigger dumb things we didn’t know:
- That payment providers can freeze your money if you make too much too fast.
- AND... what to do if that happens to you?
- How do you handle it if a huge client cancels a $200,000 order, but you’ve already made the t-shirts?
Those are real life things that happened to Dan & Andrea. We know the answers to the questions you’re facing at every step of your journey, and...
We don’t want you to have to rebuild the wheel.
We don’t want you to blow through your money on costly mistakes, and have to close your doors. Or honestly even worse, limp along for years at the same level of sales because you’re not sure how to get to whatever your next level is.
So, we’ve built for you an incredible, game changing 6 week course. A tactical guide to your success. We want you to hyper accelerate the growth of your t-shirt company.
Growing a t-shirt line is a formula, and it is teachable & we’re ready to be the badass mentors you've been looking for.
We broke the course down into 6 Weeks. So you can focus in on a different area of growth to master as you move along. We call it The Mogul Course: How to Build a T-Shirt Empire.
