Shirts
Clothing is obviously one of those things that people always need and when it comes to shirts, people love to showcase their individuality and their connectedness through shirt designs. Individuals buy shirts displaying quotes and sayings, their favorite musicians, their favorite movies, their favorite organizations, their colleges/universities, their schools and the list goes on.
Organizations buy shirts for employee uniforms, charitable functions, and giveaways.
A shirt business is a Cricut business worth starting for the reasons mentioned above and because shirts are pretty inexpensive to make and you can have huge profit margins selling them.
What you need to sell shirts
To sell shirts you need a heat press or Cricut EasyPress machine, some shirts, HTV, and Teflon sheets. Of course, you also need your Cricut machine, a smartphone, laptop, or computer, SVG files, your Cricut mats, and weeding tools.
If you don’t want to make the shirts yourself, you can design them and have them dropshipped. With dropshipping, basically, you would use a service such as Printful to create a shirt mockup and add the mockup to your website that’s linked to Printful. Whenever someone orders a shirt, Printful will make the shirt and ship it to the customer. Printful gets a percentage of the sales and you keep the rest.
