The first step in planning to sell playoff shirts is to understand your target market.   Engage with local fans through social media to gain insight and understand preferences. Are you welling to parents, the community, students or all?    Each will have different needs and choices.

Creating The Playoff Shirt Design

The design is critical when it comes to selling playoff shirts.    Your shirts should be visually appealing.  Be sure your team colors and mascots are either the one that is always used or one that will sell.   You want to be creative be one that resonates with the fans.

Timing Is Everything with Playoff Shirts

The biggest key to a successfully playoff shirt run is timing.    The key points to a great sale are having the shirts as soon as the team makes the championship game and again if the team was victorious.   The sooner you have the shirts for sale, the more you will sell.

Here are some tips:

•  Create the design ahead of time and have it preapproved if needed.
• Have both the blanks and your transfers in your cart and ready to order as soon as the victory occurs.
• Use a fast service like our one-day shipping for 1-2 color Goof Proof screen printed transfers. 
• Expedite shipping if you are located more than a day away from the production facility, it is worth it.
• Take pre-orders with a noted delivery date and/or location.
• Be at the game or a pre-game pep rally to print on demand.

Using these tips your team would win on Friday, and you could have your shirts ready to deliver on Wednesday.

Selling playoff shirts is a fun and profitable addition to your t-shirt business.    It is a great opportunity to be a part of your community and join in the excitement
