Agreed I jumped all in i dont alotta stuff better than screen printing. I do sublimation, stickers well im great with a heat press. But screenprinting is something I haven't done in years but im getting back into nowadays😊
@@startupscreenprinting no worries you're smart for printing great first and other stuff secondly. Good practice makes progress keep up the positivity great podcast!
So I haven't gotten contacted, yet, by others who are looking for embroidery and other services but I know plenty of other printers around the area who I can contract it out to that I got from a personal connection. What's your opinion on what services I should say I offer based on this?
If you're at a point where you can provide great quality with that service, then I think that's fine. The key point I'm making in this video is for people starting with screen printing to not be tempted to get into other decoration methods too quickly. Get good at one first, then add something else. But if you can provide quality embroidery in addition to screen printing, then I think it's fine to offer both if you're comfortable with doing so. The key thing to remember about doing contract work is you will need to charge less. There needs to be room for the other shops to up-charge for profit as well, so typically contract rates are lower than retail rates. If you were only doing embroidery and not screen printing, I would say you could offer to partner with other shops so they recommend you to their customers. I'd love to have an embroidery shop to partner with like that so I could imagine other shops would, too. But of course if you do screen printing, too, then there's risk the customer would switch to you for that as well, so contract would be a better offer. If you do both services, then I guess it depends on what service you want to grow.
people are comming and ask for 10 tshirts, 3 windbreakers, 2 hoodies, 3 mugs, 4 hats, 1 dtg t-shirt, some sublimated dryfits, stickers, 8 embroideried approns...............and you have to do 1 million setups, ink mxing, different inks, designs...............................oh my gooooooddddddd! one man shops should not offer all things.....you will burn out!
haha 💯 correct! And just because you can, or you have the equipment to, doesn't mean you have to offer it and also it doesn't mean you have to say yes to a customer. Set a standard for your shop and be willing to tell a customer they might not be a good fit if they're just getting a random assortment of all the things. Too many shops say yes to anyone willing to pay them money.
thanks for sharing your knowledge . Keep it up . Im waiting for your next videos .❤
Thank you, Sapumal!

That's great! I'm terrible with my heat press 🤣 I haven't really used it enough to understand what works and what doesn't.
