Cheer man. Nice to know it wasn't only me 🙂 I think it's ok to be quiet about it in the beginning as unsolicited and misguided feedback has the potential to derail you while your idea is in its infancy. You keep it up too. Thanks for your support 👍

*Cheers

Cheers Dom. That's the dream! I'll keep on keeping on. Hope all's well with you.

@@snoopybrown2438 Thank you 🙂👍

Hi mate. Thanks very much for your comment. Really appreciate that. I'll keep pushing on Yeah, I'd love to have a look at it. Maybe DM me on my Insta profile (@velokind) and we can sort something out 👍

Hi. We don't print any infant hoodies so I can't show one o those, sorry. I imagine this technique would be difficult given there's not as much material to play with.

Yeah, that would have been a good idea. Cheers for watching

Thanks man👍

Brilliant. Thanks David 👍

Thanks for watching, Ismael 👍

Yeah, thought that too but I unsubscribed from Envato Elements recently to save a bit of cash. Music all the way through or just parts of the video?

@@TheApparelLife it should be parts of the video, you know when you're waiting with the phone operator they have that soft soothing background music. kind of like that. I think RUclips have copyright music you can use also.

Cool. Thanks for your feedback. Just trying to embrace progress over perfection but kicking myself now! I'll look into it again.

Hi Kemal. Wow, some amazing insight you've shared there. Thank you. My target market is 75% male and 35-55 with medium to high income- I think you're right - clean, classy designs are the way forward. Luckily that suits my printing capabilities right now!

Hi. Tricky one to answer. You could get into it via a combination of second hand and new for £2k. Then anywhere up to £10k-£15k for a mint manual setup for a single operator. Lowside you'd need... Screen printing press £500 used Flash dryer for curing the inks £400 used Exposure unit £250 used Screens £200 Screen drying cabinet £200 DIY Printer £250 used Ink and consumables £300

@@TheApparelLife thanks, I just love the content that can be created. It's so interesting to watch you print. I'll have to look at that set-up (much) further down the line👍

Thanks mate. I use Adobe Illustrator. Some designs I created myself. Others, I sketch the concept and share with an old friend who does some graphic design work and he gives me a few options. Thanks for the tag line. RIDE is a great idea...used a lot more than CYCLING for those in the community. Only challenge is that RIDE can refer to other sports so need to be clever with the design. Cheers!

@AndyMalton Cheers man 🎤🙂

@@matthewslater9082 Hi Matthew. Thanks so much for your message. It's awesome to know you are out there. Thanks a lot for watching my videos. If you're struggling for inspiration for a brand concept, maybe have a think about what makes you, you. By that I mean, is there something you are passionate about, perhaps it's something you used to be passionate about or maybe it's an experience you have been through which others can relate to. Just ideas...it'll come in time. Thanks for your positive vibes 🙂👍

​@TheApparelLife thanks so much and I will do just that I have enrolled on a 5 week business course just to give me some idea of how to even run a business as figures and thing I don't find easy I will have a think thank you for the advice and look forward to more of your videos 😀

That's cool. Good luck with the course. It's easy to think other people are better placed to start than you and therefore lose some confidence, but it won't be perfect from the start. One step at a time. Don't overcommit on inventory/investment. Test the water and get some feedback.

@janellebailey2622 Hi Janelle. Don't give up. Check out the video at 2.02... rather than bringing the sleeve back to a square position, leave the sleeve further out...by that I mean, create a larger sleeve "wing" on each side. That will give you a longer sleeve to play with as you wrap it around and tuck in. Good luck 👍

Hi Noma. You're very welcome. I'm pleased you enjoyed it 👍

Yes, thank you for watching mine.

That's awesome to hear. Thanks very much for watching. Cheers 👍

@@Gooniesgirl78 That's so nice to hear. Thanks very much for watching.

Thanks Brigitte. It's tidy isn't it that one...

@@THEFUTURE-x6m Thanks mate. Appreciate that👍

@@CocBrolandian Thanks man! Pleased you like it. Cheers for watching 👍

Haha. Not easy. You could just roll them gently I guess. Maybe in another video 👍

Thanks a lot, Dom. Hope you're well. Appreciate your ongoing support.

@@TheApparelLife All good Chris, hope you are too. Really hope things are ticking along nicely for you as well. Your site is looking clean and you've got a great range. Looking back to when I first found you on YT Velokind has come a long way and from my own perspective you are doing things the right way. With passion and pride in what you do and delighting the customer at every opportunity. Hoping to start my own side-hustle/business soon too!

Thanks man. Appreciate that. Will do 👍

@@lanarm4942 That's awesome. Really pleased to play a small part in the creation of your new walk in closet! Congratulations and enjoy 🙂 Thanks for watching.

@TheApparelLife Thank you Chris! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

Thank you 🙏🏼

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching 👍

Hi John/Mark, Thanks very much for your feedback. Really pleased it was useful to you. I can't see your request. Normally I get an email notification. I've refreshed the link in the video description. Please could you try requesting it again? Thanks, Chris

Hey. Thanks a lot for watching and for your feedback. Really happy you like it 👍

Hi. I'm really sorry about that. You shouldn't need to type anything, just request access. I'll then receive a notification and share the file with you. I've refreshed the link to the file. Please could you try again? Thanks, Chris

Hi Nelson. Sorry for the delay coming back to you. I use 4 different boxes and their internal dimensions (mm, width, depth, height) are: 1) 290 x 215 x 32 (1 to 2 tees) 2) 295 x 213 x 70 (single sweatshirts or multiple tees) 3) 310 x 245 x 97 (hoodies or combinations) 4) 317 x 225 x 150 (larger orders) Cheers, Chris

That's awesome man. Thanks very much for watching and for your feedback. Will do. Good luck with it👍

Cool. Thanks a lot for watching, Shelly.

My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it 😀👍

Hi there. I would start by developing the brand concept. Why does the brand exist and who is it for. Then you can name it and begin thinking about what products that target market wants. Once all that's done, in my opinion you have two options. 1) POD or 2) Identify a local and reliable screen printer. I've done a video on the pros and cons of each so might be worth a look. You need to build the brand regardless of which route you take. It will take time and feel messy but you can fine tune over time once you start getting feedback from your actions and customers.

@@TheApparelLifeGreat, thank you so much! I think option 2 is good because I want to create a custom package. I just love your packaging idea, it's really great and looks premium. Is there any other way I can connect with you?

Cool. I'm pleased you like it 😁👍

Thanks. I'll keep it in mind 👍

Hey. I'm happy with my current supplier at the moment but appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching.

Cheers man

Cool. That's awesome. Thanks a lot 👍

That's awesome. Good luck with your brand 👍

Cheers Cliff! Pleased you like it 🙂👍

Thanks Jake. I'll take another look and not rule it out. Cheers for watching👍

Thanks Katarina. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it 🙂👍

I've never sold in person, but imagine that's a good opportunity to promote/discount your product a little to encourage the sale without the whole world knowing you're doing it and therefore potentially devaluing the brand. I've used sales on my website for key seasonal events and when orders are low...just to stimulate a bit of activity.

@@TheApparelLife to simulate a bit of activity 🤔 do you mean for boosting seo traffic

No, I meant to generate some traffic to the website and sales...usually by highlighting the sale on Instagram and my email list.

Hi mate. Yeah, its a good idea. I'll do a walk through of the process from receiving order to despatching.

@TheApparelLife I probably should have said a custom package order 🎁 or even a normal package order 📦 to show how you ordered it and had it made

I see. Yes, I've added it to my list of video ideas. Thanks a lot.
