How to Save the World with a T-shirt pt 2 numbers « Not The Real Poor Souls Society
I will break it all down and give you the numbers on a small event fundraiser, raising money through T-shirts.

Here is an example of a printing price list for contract repeat cutomers

figure double if you are a one time customer

but once you get to the 1000 piece level even a guy off the street can get contract pricing

especially if you have a non profit type group that will do multiple events
Printing cost
$ 20.00 screens 1st time for each color
T-shirts & Flat Goods cost per print $ 10.00 reset cost on repeat orders, no screen charge
$ 10.00 proof sample shirt before actual run
1/C 2/C 3/C 4/C 5/C 6/C $ 2.00 drop ship / pr box
12-35 $ 2.00 $ 2.50 $ 3.00 $ 3.50 $ 4.00 $ 4.50 $ 10.00 color match
36-71 $ 1.05 $ 1.25 $ 1.50 $ 1.75 $ 2.05 $ 2.25
72-143 $ 0.75 $ 0.95 $ 1.15 $ 1.35 $ 1.50 $ 1.70
144-287 $ 0.55 $ 0.80 $ 1.00 $ 1.20 $ 1.35 $ 1.50 add per print
288-999 $ 0.50 $ 0.70 $ 0.85 $ 1.00 $ 1.15 $ 1.30
1000-2499 $ 0.40 $ 0.60 $ 0.75 $ 0.90 $ 1.05 $ 1.20 $ 0.20 flashing(needed for multi color and dark shirts)
2500+ $ 0.30 $ 0.40 $ 0.50 $ 0.60 $ 0.70 $ 0.80

Note what i have highlighted that’s 40 cents per print

figure shirt cost at $2.00 (can go lower can go higher)

let’s get some decent paper for the poster prints, say 10 cents a piece

we know we want at least 1000 pcs to get the .40 rate but we can beef that up with paper so you dont have to raise $2000 for the shirts themselves

2 screens one front one back 1000 front prints 1000 back prints

$ 800 prints front and back

$ 40 screens

$1000 (500 shirts)

$ 100 (1000 posters 500 main logo 500 sponsors) you can get cheaper paper than this if you look

$1940

it is very possible to find 500 shirts as low as $1 a piece when on sale or at a low point on shirt prices (they go up and down like gas)

so that 1940 figure could drop down to as low as 1500 for 500 shirts and a thousand posters

if you have an 11 x 15 inch space of real estate on the back of the shirt

* you can sell a big main sponsor logo at the top for $1000 give him a couple shirts and some posters in the deal plus advertising on your web sites the posters shirts radio ads whatever you do
* sell your mid range logos for $100 there getting a ton of advertising for nothin, go anywhere and try to get 100 advertising (give these guys 1 shirt and one spnsor and 1 front print poster notice on web sites etc.) At least 10 mid range guys before you start to look crowded
* sell bottom level text only spots for $25 to $50 depending on how well the upper slots are selling and how many acts you have at your event.you can fit at least 20 text only spots and not look crowded at all
* so you can see it would be easy to raise the under 2 grand needed for the shirts maybe even turn a profit on just sponsors (my low ball numbers make $2250)
* and you end up with 500 shirts and 1000 posters to advertise your event all over town

if you don’t feel your event/cause is large enough to warrent asking $1000 from the top guy lower him down to $500 and bump the mid rangers up to $200
now let’s sell them at the event:

if your shirt is cool enough you can sell them for at least $10

thats 10 x 300 (you’ll never sell all 500 you’ll give some away and some won’t sell)

$3000 all profit, the shirts are already paid for before the event you don’t have to sell a single one to break even
