Price of t-shirts to retail...

[socialgiraffe]

Hi Guys

For those of you who sell to retail outlets you may find this of interest.

I just had an email from a wholesaler regarding a new product line of t-shirts they are now stocking (zombie's, skulls etc). Their price to retail outlets is £5.21 each with a minimum purchase of 6 garments, the recommended selling price is £11.99.

Price seems quite high to me but I do not really know anything about this side of selling.

Just thought those who do sell to retail might like to know what wholesalers are selling at.

If i bought them in at wholesale at £5.21 my new website retails designs for £12.50 so for me it would be worth it as i would be making more than 100% and not doing no work, Maybe you would like to pm me the wholesaler simon

yep sounds about right to me Simon, the only thing thats changed over the years is the Qty - to get "wholesale prices" for 6 items seems lower than ever

That's not a bad price I don't think.. as Dave says it's no real work involved and to be honest even little people like me can do 6 as a minim order for wholesale.

Company is called BBTRADESALES for those that are interested.

Most of the shops we supply won't buy unless they can mark up by 2.5X to our RRP, maybe t-shirt shops are different to homewares/gifts. agree that 6 units is low for a minimum order - I would have expected MOQ of 6 of each design, but then a minimum transaction of around £150-£200.

I think at that price is would be 1 size and 1 design only, but money is tight and there is no shortage of tshirt designs out there nowadays. Very cutthroat market

I agree, prices seem about right for buying in 6's and 12 quid for a t shirt is just fine.
Have the balls to charge a fair price, if someone says 'that is expensive' - your answer is 'compared to what' .....
