Marketing Strategies begin with your product. What does your product have that will entice people to buy it?By determining who your market is, you can talk directly to that market, driving traffic to your website with provocative words that prove your knowledge and understanding of the people you serve. Market driven conversational copy promotes interest and knowledge. Any copywriter will tell you that presenting your information to a specific market is far more important than selling a wide range of people who might happen to read your information. This is easily done on the Internet with keyword population and search engine crawler capabilities.When your information is steeped in keyword rich content, focused on a specific market and formulated to reach a specific audience, traffic appears on your doorstep – almost by magic. The magic is still content related, still relates strongly to your topic and product, and the niche market you desire to reach are finding your products.In a rece
Think the price of oil and how it can effect the total price of shipping, as it takes up to 45 days to buy the yarn, chemicals, spin yarn, dye, cut, sew, pack, ship the t-shirt. More later.Let’s have a look at all this in detail.First the t-shirt is usually cotton and cotton is a traded commodity on the stock exchange. Most cotton in the world comes from USA or Uzbekistan. It has to be bought on world trade prices based on quality and availability. Timing or the buy and locking it in are therefore based on a long term manufacturing program. Therefore it is beneficial that the buyer state that they would require say 1 or 2 containers amount per month per year. Then buyer and seller can plan ahead. As you can see trial orders then become a problem as manufacturer can’t lock in a forward buy on the cotton chemicals or even production line space.It is imperative that the real end buyer state and back it up with an LC that they want a number of containers of t-shirts per month x 12 months. If the LC goes through broker after broker then they need to push down the price to cover their commissions and all the bank charges. So the price becomes lower than the cost price and cannot be done.Second, the buyer can send all size specifications and details for a quote and believe me anyone can quote whatever price you want, but will the lowest priced item ever be shipped and what about the quality will it be acceptable? Probably not. So a sample is requested so that the manufacturer can see the look and the feel of the garment. A counter sample is then made and sent to the buyer.Like everything you pay for quality. A 50 cent t-shirt is a 50 cent t-shirt.
Good for a few washes then it out of shape and faded.Again we always ask for buyers samples to see the stitching weight and general quality with these in hand we can work out if we can meet the target prices.Third, end buyers know the target prices. They accept that the manufacturer has to make a few cents to stay in business. However, when a middleman or broker gets involved they need to push down the price of the unit by a few cents. The more middlemen the lower the target price becomes sometimes it gets so low that no one in the world can manufacture for these prices. Not even a 3rd world sweatshop.The price becomes so low that we can’t even buy the yarn so all bets are off. This is why we always ask the target price.Also the buyers or brokers need to realize that we are not going to move our current production, that is making profit for us, in order to make the lower priced item for them. This is not good business.As a few examples we have many African aids or election t-shirt orders all scams. I have worked a few of them and all that happens is that someone in the end loses as they get greedy and think the deal will eventuates – it never does. The story is that they will pay US$5 per shirt and that you can make for US$1 and so not a bad profit. However, they want samples of each size and color, so you may end up shipping 12 or so t-shirts - work out the freight on this - then multiply it by the hundreds of enquiries you get and you’re out of pocket by US$1000's.

Change. The very word can sometimes produce fear in many people. Why? Because lurking behind the word change is oftentimes the word unknown, and for most people it’s the fear of the unknown which makes them afraid of change.When it comes to making career changes, the fear of the unknown is what keeps people paralyzed, which also keeps them stuck in unfulfilling jobs, hating to go to work every day. At least it’s known, right? And, for most people, a crappy known beats an unknown any day, even if that unknown will eventually make someone happier.If you’re reading this and you recognize yourself, it’s time to take the bull by the horns and start making some changes. And, yes, that means facing the unknown.When deciding to change career directions, you can help minimize the unknown by doing some of the following:1. Realize how many times in the past you’ve faced the unknown successfully.Well, that sounds simple, doesn’t it? And, it is. Just take out a p

Life insurance, similar to all types of insurance, covers the insured or the family members of the insured in the event of an emergency. With life insurance, that emergency is usually the death of the insured. The grieving period is no time to spend worrying about money and life insurance is the way to alleviate those worries.There are two basic kinds of life insurance. The first, and most common, is term life insurance. Simply put, term life insurance insures a person for a certain period of time and builds no cash value. It is the most popular choice because it is usually the least expensive insurance for the particular coverage a person needs. The second, and generally most expensive, is whole life insurance. Whole life insurance insures a person for life and does build cash value. Whole life insurance is a reasonable choice for people with permanent debilitating health conditions, the elderly, or those who can afford it. Although children do not usually fall into any of those categories,

The more brokers the lower the price. Trash that as well.In the t-shirt industry the USA dominates and as such can dictate quota to different countries.For example a few years ago Vietnam was the place to be and so we set up a factory 2.5 hours south of Hanoi. All was well until the USA revoked quota for Vietnam. After all the work we had done in getting the factory safety and anti sweatshop compliant for USA companies all was shut down as then price wasn’t competitive enough.We did the same in Bangladesh, but if anyone been there you will see that it is one of the most corrupt countries and has huge problems in consistently delivering a quality product. Another place to think twice about when getting anything manufactured. There are still a few court cases we are running there.On the quota issue I will explain our last venture that originated from South Africa. A long term friend had received an order from the USA. I sent the standard questionnaire and received some info and requested samples. They didn’t have any and my alarm bells were ringing. However for the sake of my pleading friend we pressed on.
The order was for the USA and so some creative manufacturing need to be done to be compliant with the quota issue. So part of the shirt need to be made and then finished in another country that had quota for the USA.Imaging the process, buy the cotton in a time when oil prices were hitting nearly $80 a barrel, ship it to 2 countries to get manufactured then finally ship to the USA.Every component was the same – double sometimes triple shipping and all this was to fit into a target price that had 2 brokers involved.To save our company holding the bag and losing dollars we insisted on 80% cash to forward buy and lock in cotton, dye, CMP and shipping – there was no other way.Needless to say there was no way the brokers would put the money up and the buyers would not forward any money through the brokers either.Everyday I was getting 3 calls on where the process was up to. Unfortunately it went no where although 6 weeks was spent on it.I just don’t know how these brokers think that their pleading and crying over the phone is going to wish the contract through. Business is business and there is a process to follow - same as the banks.There is a simple way to get these contracts through.Make sure the end buyers the end buyer. Good talkers are a dime a dozen and they fall apart when real questions are asked and real answers are expected. Work out what your commissions are and are they reasonable for the amount of work you are doing. Don’t hold back info to protect your interests. Find a manufacturer that can protect your interests too. There is a certain amount of trust and respect needed, after all you have brought new business to the manufacturer and they should reward you for it.I hope this helps some realize that you just can’t put x and y together and then start spending the commissions.
It doesn’t work like that as it takes months to make and ship t-shirts.MANY COUNTRIES are involved and the stock market and the price of oil affect all. On top add tariffs and quotas and then try to work out a price. Real buyers will work with you and realize these pressures on the manufacturers. Both manufacturer and buyer need to make a few cents on each t-shirt otherwise there’s no mutual business.Look for manufacturers that have in place many contracts with cotton growers, chemical manufacturers and shippers therefore being in control and able to offering the right price to the end buyers.When a manufacturer has a
