Hi nametags.
I notice your profile is blank?
Anyways, yes it's a great deal and is true and is honest! See the catch is, this is marketing. Wanting to get the customer to call or contact us about the specifics and provide them with the details and give them outstanding service.

There's no catch. It's our own brand shirt, first quality (seconds aren't anything we have ever touched and never will because what's the point?) 5.5oz. 100% cotton white tee. 1-color print standard print size, no jumbo or all over. The quantity is 576pcs. And "No Set Up Charge"!

I hope that this has answered your question as it is a legitimate question.
Hope all is well!
Paul:)

Lux Inks,

I sent you two "contact us" messages on your web site, no reply. In it I included my name, and business name as well. Why no email reply, yet a reply here?

My profile is pretty much blank, is that a problem? If you need info, Pm or email me.

So it's a 576 shirt order, one color standard size, for the $2.50, is that correct? Preshrunk shirt? That's important.

Actually, your "See the catch is, this is marketing" comment in your reply really put me off. It actually ruined your whole message for me. Take that arrogant comment out, and it would have been a nice reply, even if you didn't reply to my contact on your web page. That's my opinion, only mine, but, I WAS a potential customer. Some folks may not look at it that way of course. Remember, YOU are trying to get ME to spend MY MONEY with YOU, and with that comment, it isn't happening now regardless.

The ad price of $2.50 was an eye catcher, your marketing strategy, and like the other promo products ad's we see, such as ink pens for .11 or something similiar, till you see you have to buy over 1000 for that price, in your case 576. That's when I close the book.

Good luck.

Name tags.
I'm sorry that you feel that I was being arrogant. Pretty straight forward, every company uses some eye catching stuff to get potential sales.
As for me replying here, you clearly asked me to do so, and posted here via the internet for everyone to see that you had sent us an email through our website "contact us" icon, and you wanted to "see what we would say". So I did so here. I wonder had I responded to your email through our site, would you have posted here to let everyone know "what we said"?
Good luck to you as well and have a great day.
Paul

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that's mine.

Yes, you replied here, yet didn't from your web page, and still haven't.

And, yes, had you responded through your site contact, I would have posted it here, as written, as I would be foolish not to since I had said I would, and you of course would have your reply to post had I not been accurate about it.

In my opinion, marketing is a gimmick, and you must be careful as you may attract 1 customer with it, but put off 10 because of it.

Enough said.

Thanks.

"Yes, you replied here, yet didn't from your web page, and still haven't."

You clearly asked me why not place them here. re-read your first sentence in your first post that questioned our deals to be good, true and honest.

You're right nametags, everyone is entitled to their opinion. To me, in my opinion, marketing is no gimmick.

Plain and simple, our deal for 576 white 100% cotton tees (yes, pre-shrunk) with a one color standard size print for $2.50 each is an incredibly great price!

By the way, why do you not have any info put in your profile? It adds a tremendous amount of credibility as I have learned from veterans on screen printing forums.

Thanks,
Paul

Luxinks,

I have no web page for my business as of yet. Too new to the business to afford one. Hopefully in the future. I'm also NOT a screen printer, I'm an embroiderer, and offer heat transfer shirts as well, a huge addition to my business.

You only posted the details of your "deal" after I questioned it. It should have been in your initial introductory post. To not post it, in my opinion, is similiar to car dealers,,,,where you have to read the fine print or call to find out the details. Not good! It turns me off of your add, with the "too good to be true there's a catch" in my mind.

I'll admit though, your ad and attitude has made me do some checking in the interest of competition. And I'm glad I did, so I'll give you credit for that aspect of your marketing. You didn't attract a new customer with me, but, you did make me aware I can now compete with you, and those like you, in this particular area. And, if any other heat transfer machine owners read this, they too will now become competition instead of customers.

I found that I could offer the same deal,,, Three of my garment suppliers will give me an additional discount if I order over 500 t shirts, particularly white sml - xl, as you offer, bringing my cost even lower. And, even more discount if I go over 600,,,which I would easily buy an extra 24 shirts to get the better deal. Especially if I use a 5.5oz. shirt as you do. Then I checked 3 heat transfer suppliers I use. If I buy 500 one color designs, such as you're offering, I still make money at $2.50. If I go over 550, its even cheaper, so I make even more money. And, they'll waive any art charges to design or redesign the artwork. Good deal for me! I guess that applies to "No setup charges". And, all of my suppliers now offer free shipping over $150 purchases, even on white t shirts now, so that's an even bigger savings for me and the customer.

And further, I found I could offer a two color design for just a little more, say $2.75 or $2.80, and still make money. Again a good deal for both me and the customer.

I admit, I hadn't looked that deep into this aspect of my business before your discussion. Thank you for enlightening me to this. I will now promote it in the same way,,,,,just a different method.

In closing, I have little info in my profile, as many others do, because I choose not to. If someone wants info, they can email or pm me and we'll discuss why they want it, as I do them. To me it's not a credibility issue, and that's all that matters. Those on this forum that do have my information, have it because I want them to, not because they want to.

Again, thanks for the info.

Hi nametags.

Websites are easy to create yourself these days. Go Daddy has a great package called "Website Tonight". You can build it yourself and get it hosted for under two hundred dollars. Also Mac has a great easy to execute program called IWeb.

As for posting details after you questioned it...once again that's your opinion to feel how you do about it and you are entitled to it just as my opinion is different. For you to say anything "should have been in my initial post" is well, once again your opinion. I prefer to advertise my way just as you prefer to do things your way. No harm in that, we're all individuals.

Competition is great! It keeps us striving to learn more, produce better products, improve customer service, think critically etc. However, heat transfer business is not screen printing and your margins on heat transfers aren't the same as screen printing. We can produce comfortably 700 shirts per hour. How many can you produce with your transfer operation? Our company also does heat transfers so we are very well aware of the process. Also, what about turnaround time? We don't have to send art to a transfer company and wait for them to produce them and send them to us. Also, we stock our tees, and the company that is manufacturing them for us (right here in the USA) are twenty minutes away from our facility. In the end, can you compete on price? Sure you can. However, heat transfers are inferior to screen printing.

To add a second color to our already great price of $2.50 on 576 shirts would only cost $.10 each. That's a two color print on a Made In The USA white T-shirt for only $2.60! A great deal for the customer and a great margin for luxinks.com.

Nametags. I am very glad that this thread has sparked your interest to contact your vendors, look at your bottom line, and implement and promote your business. I truly mean that. There is plenty of business to go around and I wish the best to all of us in the garment industry.

As for info in your profile, that's your opinion and you are very well entitled to do what you want with it. I personally prefer anyone and everyone to have our contact information!

In closing, With our post, we have received several orders. One client ended up ordering 400 towels from us as well. So far so good!

You're welcome for the info, I'm glad to help.
Paul:)

Paul,

I applaud the way you handled everything Nametag has thrown at you. Very professional and respectful.

Nametag,

Being able to see opportunity in something people do not take notice on, you must have a keen eye for details.

I am a garment manufacturer outside of the US with my own printing and embroidery facility. I appreciate people like you. I learn a lot.

However, I am still amazed on how you guys can produce 100% cotton shirts at that price point. Price here for 180 GSM CVC white tee with one color print is already USD 1.90 without freight(+0.15 for freight to USA, taxes and 0.08 per additional color and minimum 20k volume).

To each, his own.

Anyway, good luck to everybody!
