                     How to Run a T-Shirt 
Business from Home
The t-shirt business is booming and everyone is thinking about starting one. If you have 
been entertaining this idea for a while but do not know where to start, check out these ideas.
Pick a niche
Selling T-shirts to everyone out there is unlikely to end up well especially if you are 
just starting out. Instead, concentrate on a selected market or niche. For example, 
if you plan to sell T-shirts locally, you may do well with logos that feature 
landmarks of the region. This could appeal to tourists and people who reside in 
your area equally.
If you’re selling on the internet, choose a specific market by anticipating your ideal 
customer by age, gender, occupation, or even hobbies. The more detailed you can 
get, the better you can create products for them. For example, a young female 
architect who watches anime or a senior golf enthusiast. What appeals to one 
group won’t necessarily appeal to the other. 
Create designs your customers would love 
T-shirt selling is more than just finding bulk t-shirts for sale and printing 
some designs on them. Finding designs that sell is the crux of the 
business and takes a lot of effort. You should find what the members of 
your selected niche love. 
Find a reliable wholesaler
Choose wholesalers who have a great inventory of top brands like Bella Canvas, Hanes, and 
Gildan t-shirts wholesale.  When starting out it is better to find a t-shirt supplier who will also 
do the printing for you. This will spare you from the overhead of having to find a local printer 
to decorate bulk blank t-shirts. This also frees your hand to focus on creating amazing 
designs, marketing your shirts, and finding more customers. 
Use the internet
Create accounts on popular social media platforms such as Facebook, 
Pinterest, Instagram, and more. Share your design ideas there to find 
more customers. Grow a supportive audience by giving them valuable 
content and leverage that to get more sales. You can also use the social 
media following to grow your business into a brand. 
Hopefully, this arable give you enough ideas to get started. Remember, 
it is better to start slow, test the waters, and go all-in when the coast is 
clear.
