A simple bulk investment on basic clothing items.

It just seems that I have the summer off and know of many bulk distributers that are willing to sell a very good product at a cheap rate. The natural idea of entrepreneurialism would be to make more money than you spend (which is surely the cornerstone of any capitalist venture.)

The idea would be ideally to buy a large bulk of this stock at a reduced rate that is dictated by amount. The stock would already be printed upon purchase so once the product arrives there would be no other channels that need going through.

Naturally, if I were to go ahead with this plan then it would just leave me with a big box of t shirts sitting in the corner developing dust. My question would be how (once this product is created) should one then go about successfully marketing this product to ensure easy enough sales. The hope being that the money made from this sale could go on to help me buy more and so on and so forth.

Part of me thinks it is slightly ironic to ask this question, as being a young entrepreneur would be the part where you do all of this yourself.

thanks

Hi Rarestake,

The answer to your question is-supply and demand. You have found the supplier and now you would have to create your demand.

Question to ask yourself is, who will be interested with these stock shirts? When you get that answer, you will know whether this product is worth getting into or not.

Hope this helps-

LT
