There are many people interested in starting their own clothing brand. But where can you start? We’ve provided a few tips in the past. Now we want to give you tangible tools to help you get started.
Product
You will first need to decide which products you want to market. BELLA+CANVAS is where it all begins! T-shirts can be worn everywhere. They are worn every day by people all over the globe. Flip flops and hats are two examples of apparel that can be expensive upfront. The cut and sew process can also make it more costly.

DropShipping
Dropshipping is a great option for anyone who’s just starting a clothing business. Dropshipping is a great way to save time and avoid having to deal with shipping. It’s great to have a one-stop shop partner when you first start your business. This allows you to focus on your marketing and growth. Make sure you look for fulfillment partners that offer a range of BELLA+CANVAS Tees.
Website
The next step is to decide how and where you will sell it. Shopify can be another great resource. This e-commerce platform is easy to use and allows you to create relationships with customers, own your brand and sell your products. It integrates seamlessly with many fulfillment companies so that once a customer orders a product from your site, it is printed and shipped directly to them.
Marketing
