Family reunions are a perfect opportunity for custom t-shirt businesses to offer personalized apparel. But before diving in, there are some key things to keep in mind to make your offering stands out and meets your customers’ needs. Here’s what to consider when selling family reunion T-shirts:
Timing

Now is the time to let customers know you can do their orders! Use your digital assets found in the marketing kit to show what you can offer on all of the social channels.

Family Reunion T-Shirts Sizes
Although you will offer a huge range of shirt sizes, from 6 months to 5XL; you will want to limit your print sizes. Limiting print sizes not only optimizes your profits but also will give the family a more consistent look. An 11 x 11 size should manage all of your adult shirts, an 8×8 all of your youth shirts and if you have any infant sizes a 3×3 print will work.
Type of Transfer
Most family reunions are larger than a quantity of 12 shirts so your best options will be Goof Proof, screen printed transfers for 1 and 2 colors; and UltraColor Pro for your full color. Both of these products are sold as single images or gang sheets. It will take a little math to see what works best for you. Once you have the quantities needed, we can help you figure out the best way to order.
More than Just T-Shirts
One of our goals as entrepreneurs is to get more orders from the same customer. One way to do this is to extend your offering to the family. The same print will be used, so with quantity breaks you will lower your transfer cost, in addition to growing sales. Easy add Ons are hoodies, crewnecks, tank tops and tote bags.
Family reunion T-shirts are a great way to start or grow your t-shirt business. By considering these 5 tips you will have a successful sale. And we are always here to help.
