Different Ways to Make Money with Custom Transfers

different way to make money with custom transfers

So by now, you probably already know that we offer custom transfers. But did you know that there are many different ways to use custom transfers to make money for your business?

First, let’s talk about the obvious answer here… t-shirts. Everyone wears t-shirts. Everyone needs t-shirts. Below we have compiled a list of some of the different events/groups of people that maybe you haven’t thought of… where there is money to be made!

-Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts
-Businesses (Landscaping, Plumbing, etc)
-Bars/Restaurants/Pizza Shops
-Church Groups/Organizations
-Festivals, Car Shows
-Family Reunion
-Hair Salon/Barber Shop
-Fundraisers (Cancer Walks, etc)
-Labels/Tags for garments
-Resorts (Hotels, Camping, etc)
-Tourist Locations
-Staff/Security Shirts
-Sports Competitions (Cheerleading, Wrestling, etc)
Sponsor Logos
-Kid’s Birthday Parties
-Bachelor/Bachelorette
-Wedding Party (Bride, Bridesmaids)
-Bar Crawls
-Holiday Parties
-Motorcycle Groups
-Gyms, MMA, Yoga, etc
-Sports Jerseys (Football, Baseball, etc)
-Local American Legion Halls
-Local Police Stations/Fire Departments
-School Teams/Spirit Shirts
-Baby Onesies
-Independent Distributors

On top of creating a variety of t-shirts for your customer’s needs, you can also branch off and start up your own t-shirt line, with a few of your own unique graphics that can appeal to a wide range of customers. The best part about transfers is that you don’t have to have a stockpile of already-made shirts and hoping that they sell. We recommend having a bunch of different color garments, in different styles and sizes – that way you can press a transfer to whichever one your customer chooses.

The possibilities really are endless! Create custom koozies for a wedding, or a bachelor party. Make custom hats and tote bags for a fundraiser. Our custom transfers can be applied to many materials including towels, sweatshirts, hoodies, denim, and more! Step outside of the box and get creative to make the most of custom transfers.
