If you’ve ever tried to sell your own clothing line before, you probably already know that it’s not exactly easy. In fact, it can be a real challenge to get people interested in buying your products. This is especially true if they’re mostly only going to be sold online, with no physical stores or marketplaces like Amazon from which to sell them. To top that off, there are plenty of other challenges and difficulties involved in designing and selling your own clothing line. Creating designs that stand out in a saturated marketplace isn’t easy, for example. Getting a production company to work with you and create the designs you want isn’t always simple either. But if you’re committed to selling your own clothing line with T-shirts as the primary focus, there are lots of things you can do to make this process as smooth and straightforward as possible. Let’s take a look at some useful tips and tricks…
Keep your designs simple
As you’re designing your T-shirt designs, keep one key thing in mind: simplicity. No matter what design you choose, the more complex it is, the less likely it is to sell. Very rarely has an overly elaborate design been a hit with customers. This is particularly true if it’s an image-based design which uses a lot of different colours and images. In this case, simplicity is key. If you’re designing your own T-shirts, you’re probably not working with a team that’s been specifically trained to create and sell clothing. For this reason, you have to make sure your designs are as uncomplicated and easy to understand as possible. If your design can only be understood by you and a select few people, it’s not going to sell very well.
Find a strong brand identity
As we’ve already discussed, a lot of clothing lines start off by creating a specific brand identity. This is usually done with the help of graphic designers and branding specialists who help you create an image and a visual identity. You should definitely do this if you haven’t done so already. Your clothing line will almost certainly be more successful if you have an established brand identity in place. This is because branding helps you create a specific and recognisable image for your clothing line. It helps you stand out from the crowd, and it gets customers excited about your products and excited about buying from you.
Find out what sells well and why
As you start designing and creating your products, it’s a good idea to take a look at what other companies are selling and find out why those products are selling so well. Once you know what the top-selling items in your category are, you can try to emulate that with your own products. If you know that a certain style of design is selling well, you can try to emulate that with your own designs. For example, you might notice that lots of companies are selling T-shirts with designs that include humour and pop culture references. You might also notice that there are plenty of designs that include pop culture references to films and TV shows like Game of Thrones and Stranger Things. If you want your clothing line to sell, it’s a good idea to try to emulate these designs.
Use a digital platform to test your designs
Once you’ve designed your T-shirts and other clothing items, before you even consider producing them and selling them to customers, you should try to sell them online first. This is a good idea for a number of reasons. This is a great way to test your designs and make sure they’re actually going to sell before you invest a lot of time and energy into producing them. It’s also a good way to determine whether you’re going to be able to sell your clothing line successfully online. If you’ve created a T-shirt design and you want to sell it online, you should try to find a digital platform from which to sell it. Sites like Shopify make it easy to set up an online shop.
Produce only what you know will sell
As you’re designing your T-shirts and creating your products, you should only create designs that you know are going to sell. If you create a design that you know isn’t going to sell well, it’s just a waste of time and effort. There’s no point in creating something that’s only going to bring in a few sales. If you want your clothing line to be successful, you have to produce designs that are high quality and that people want to buy. That means you have to produce designs that sell well.
Summing up
If you want to create and sell your own clothing line, T-shirts are a great place to start. It’s important to keep your designs simple, create a strong brand identity, and find out what sells well. Once you’ve created your designs, you need to test them online and produce only what you know is going to sell. With these tips in mind, you should be able to create successful T-shirts that bring you revenue and income.
