2. 0:05Ordering stock before demand, guessing sizes, pricing from the blank, finding wash problems late. Run fixed steps instead, with a go/no-go gate at each.
3. 0:15Validate with money, not likes. Set the threshold before opening pre-orders; paid orders prove demand and give you a real size split.
4. 0:26Print-on-demand holds no stock but leaves thin margins. Bulk improves unit economics, yet unsold sizes are a direct loss. Price from full landed cost, not blank plus print.
5. 0:38Then wash-test your smallest and largest sizes, measure before and after, and stretch the heaviest ink. Lock a signed one-page spec plus one approved sample.
6. 0:50On every reorder, ask if the blank is the same fabric lot.
7. 0:55Validated a design? Send your artwork and quantity for a quote.
