Description

In business since 2006, Queer Republic Tees, LLC has customers all over the world.  The website is based on ZenCart shopping cart and was custom-designed by me.  Along with the website, buyer will also get ALL artwork for t-shirt designs (also designed by me) Adobe Illustrator or EPS format (and all rights associated with), along with what is left of my blank t-shirts (193 pieces - see attached text file), printed shirts (24 pieces - see attached text file), and plastisol transfer inventory (866 assorted transfers - download PDF file here: http://www.queerrepublictees.com/transfer-inventory.pdf ).

I have not advertised the website at all except for a short time on Google Adwords.  Most sales come from the affiliate program I have established, and from organic searches.  If time and effort (which I don't have because this was a side-project) were put into advertising, this website would kick ass.

I also have several wholesalers in the US and the UK and have done really well with selling at Gay Pride festivals.

Current business model:

• Customer places order and makes payment on-line
• I apply the plastisol transfer to the shirt with a heat press
• I ship to customer via UPS or USPS (shipping paid by customer)
