HOODIES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Hoodie season is here! Due to the volume of questions we’re receiving about hoodies, we’re putting together a frequently asked questions guide to put you at ease when selling a high ticket item.

What brand of hoodie do you use?

We like to use this: https://www.independenttradingco.com/collections/unisex/products/prm33sbz-unisex

It also comes in a pullover and crewneck.

It is unisex, soft, and not too heavy. It’s the perfect item to warm during warm ups and cool downs. It will fit under a winter jacket and it’s heavy enough to run errands in if needed. 

What kind of designs do you have for your hoodies?

The new designs reflect our client’s feedback. Due to your demand, we’re finding affiliate owners are doing their best trying to balance the unique population of an affiliate. So these designs, appeal to all age ranges and populations: something clean, classic, and collegiate feeling. 

What about price point? How much do they cost?

You can expect to pay $32-38 per hoodie/zip. I would recommend you sell them for $50-60. In case, you’re asking…YES, we have hundreds of affiliates that charge $49.99-59.99 for hoodies and zips. You can do it too. I promise. 

Can you send samples?

Of course. As always, we send two free sizing samples for each order. 

How long does it take to produce? 

Our turn around time is about 7-10 business days (plus shipping). 

I want to order hoodies but I don’t have the cash flow to order an inventory amount of them. Can you teach me how to run a preorder? 

Of course. Message us and we’ll walk you through the process and help you develop a preorder model that works best for your specific community. 

Why should we offer hoodies in November?

November is the ideal month for hoodies. The main reason is that clients are pretty loose with their budgets around this time. They wind up spending more in November/December due to the holidays. If your members are looking to spend more, give them what they want! It’s the perfect time to roll out a high ticket item like a hoodie to match their spending habits. 

You can still roll it out in January/February but most people tend to tighten up their spending after the bank statements arrive and New Year’s resolutions kick into effect!
