How to Start a $500K/Year T-Shirt Business (Pt. 1)

Are you wondering how to start a t-shirt business? Are you looking for a creative business with a big revenue potential? How does $500K/year sound? That’s a very doable figure for a t-shirt business, and in this interview we’ll find out how.

Sanford Booth started his t shirt printing company after the 2008 recession brought his real estate career to a halt. He saw a franchise opportunity from Big Frog and knew the company would be a good fit for his hometown of Portland.

They built a name for themselves partnering with area charities, clubs, and schools. That mutual love between Big Frog and the community has been a huge part of their success.

Today, we’ll get Sanford’s advice on how to start a t-shirt business. He’ll share how much it cost him to get started and what equipment is a must-have for a custom t shirt business. We’ll talk numbers, too, finding out what kind of margins and revenue a new business can expect in their first year (and how to grow it every year that follows).

You can’t run a successful business without customers. We’ll find out how Sanford got Big Frog’s name out there when he first opened his t-shirt business and which advertising approaches have given him the best return on his investment.

Keeping those customers satisfied is crucial, too, especially in 2020 when every sale counts. We’ll learn Sanford’s approach to keeping people coming back and his advice to other business owners on getting through a crisis.
