Need women's baby tees or classic or slim fit tees for men?

If you go direct to purchase wholesale tees from the manufacture wholesale is still fairly pricy.  We were able to find this ultra low price since these are all closeouts (overstocks, canceled orders etc.)  We have access to 15,000 pcs so getting your wholesale rock tee fix is no problem!

How to compete with apparel sellers from China on ebay: Niche marketing to subcultures

So many people I speak to feel the only way to compete with sellers from China is to sell "name brand" apparel.  There's a ton of trendy and fashionable clothing coming in to ebay from China based sellers at rock bottom prices making it hard for US sellers to compete.

One way to stand apart from the crowd is to market to niche subcultures.  Keywords are all important as well as knowing who you are targeting and what subcultures you might be able to cater to.
If you just focus on the average "fashion" customer your sales will be "average" as well!  Why not take top dollar for your items by working smarter, not harder using niche category keywords and better photos?

I've always been a creative type, designing clothes for my Barbies as a child and moving to NY to study fashion at FIT. I was heavy into the goth scene with a touch of punk rock spirit as well.  I moved to LA and became a clothing designer, designing swimwear but my heart has always been in alternative fashion.  This is where the niche marketing comes into play.  Know your subcultures!
Who are your customers?  Are they into:

Punk
Goth
Steampunk
Ravers
NuGoths
Victorian
Gothic Lolitas
Rockabilly
Swing
Psychobilly
Metal Heads
Cyber or Cyber Goths
Industrial
Emo
Dance
Screamo
Hardcore
Glam Rock
EBM
Scene Kids
Cosplay kids
Into Reggae
Ska / Rude Boys
Vampires
90's style club kids
Visual Kei (Japanese gothic scene)
90's fashion revival such as grunge looks


Vive Le Rock!  May all your sales be rockin' and customers
will come a knockin'!
