good point....


all he need to do is update site. have memorable domain name. rake in dough.

online shit would be a breeze for him.

once he sold them in person. they would go to his site later on and buy more.

shit he could even have his domain name on the tees...
 


The design side is easy. Just look at what other top T sites are doing. Punch in "t shirts" into G and look at the top 10 results... T Shirt Hell, Threadless, Busted, Snorg... others in this thread have already linked most of them. This isn't rocket science.

The site sucks but it doesn't take a genius graphic designer to come up with something better in that department. However, those are some seriously ugly ass shirts man and they're not at all funny. I cannot believe you've sold a million dollars worth. Lame free fonts, poor typography, no style and sad humour makes for a mediocre product which probably accounts for a major part of the lack of online sales IMO. They're not cool at all.

you think that way, because you are in that field. Normal people don't know wtf to do.

There are 5-6 good ideas in this thread, which if he implements will skyrocket his sales.

They are simple to follow, but he will definitely encounter difficulties with execution and will have a hard time evaluating results and trends.

This is why I said that he needs to find a marketer. That or he needs to become one.

I think he'd be way better hiring someone and invest the spared time in another project, while he observes what the guy is doing. Eventually he will start to pick up things.
 
Oh, and get some sizing details on there: 'small measures xx inches across chest' etc - people don't want the hassle of exchanging wrong sizes.

Also: you seriously need to introduce skinny-fit type cuts/sizing for women - 'unisex' isn't going to do you any favours.
 
Your products are weak and boring. I read all of the 5 shirts. Meh. Since it is mediocre, your best bet is to sell face to face, in the heat of the moment. If i buy a t-shirt online, i have to be enamored with what it is saying, if it's meh, then there is going to be procrastination and no sale. Hence your experience in offline versus online sales. Johnny Cupcakes does a great job of adding customization, that's what you need to spuce things up. There are very good ideas given so far in this thread from an online user experience standpoint, but an analysis of your customers' mind set should tell you: One, waiters/waitress are usually broke, hence why they are waiting tables, so if they are going to shell out money making fun of their crappy job, that shirt better be kick ass, since they are buying it online. Weak font, weak jokes, and weak delivery equates to no sales. People wear t-shirts as an Identity to who they are, check out the background of johnny cupcakes or sikworld.com.

P.S. At one point i ended representing some big t-shirt brands (mentioned), and had some real world knowledge of selling tshirts online and understood it is about one thing - Product. If people love your product they will pay $15 shipping and handling and jump through dozens of hoops to get it. You need better designed shirts.

Good luck bro.
 
Fix your spelling errors.
Bottom of homepage - "of coarse" should be "of course"
FAQ page pa-pal should be PayPal.
Don't ask your visitors to excuse your spelling, just fix it in the first place

Opencart is free and is easy to set up. Yoothemes has decent templates for it that look 100% better than what you have. Spend some money on logo (dreamache rocks logos and is affordable)
The t-shirts themselves are boring. Get a designer to make them more appealing.
 
I am surprised no one lambasted the actual product as they have the website. The products are overly busy, convoluted shit! Find someone that knows how to layout text... this shit blows huge donkey dicks!
 
I get the feeling you sell well in person because you make the experience fun for them.

Can you translate that feeling onto your website?
 
I'm too fucking lazy to read the responses right now (Bad Day) but the #1 fucked up issue I see is almost all of your image links (which is 95% of the links on the site) lead you to a dead end.

Basically your funnelling your traffic into viewing an image, instead of funneling them into more information and/or a buy page and because of that they are probably then leaving your site (Analytic's can confirm a trend like this if it is there).

Don't ever send users to a page with just an image on it, especially an e-commerce site.
 
To give you some positive feedback - I did like THIS shirt:

Black-shirt-Front-400X-300x272.jpg


But just the front. The back was overkill (as are the backs on all of the shirts). I don't know if there's some magic number when it comes to text on shirts but I'm going to bet the cap is like 7 words or something. I would think that it shouldn't be so long that you couldn't read it as you walk by someone wearing the shirt. I mean, do you really expect people to stop someone wearing your shirts and stand there and read it?

I don't want to jump in the rag-on-OP fest, but god damn, your site's design... I mean, are you really taking your business seriously? Your website is your online equivalent of your actual physical location if you were an offline business. Are you going to sell T-shirts out of some rundown piece of shit brick building? 'Cause that's what your website is right now.

First things first - your header. Your header is basically your sign. Don't underestimate the benefits of having a good sign (or the detriments of having a shitty one).

Check out this mother fucking piece of art I created in 2 minutes with the text tool in photoshop:

The magic of a text outline, a dropshadow and some decent fonts - amazing, right? Feel free to use it - it's on me! Or you could hire a designer and get a really legit looking header with a logo and everything.

Now most importantly:

YOUR FUCKING CTA. WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?

You have this small ass "Buy Now" button that, when I click it, takes me to paypal. I don't even know what the fuck I'm buying. I hit back and realize there are drop down menus and that's where I'm supposed to actually choose the shirt I want. What the fuck? Where are the individual product pages with the product image, description, size/color choices and a nice add to cart button? Why am I just getting sent straight to paypal to send some dude money? For all I know I'm gonna end up out $18 with no shirt. Close tab.

Yeah, i just realized that too, that is not how any shopping cart experience is suppose to go. Each shirt should have a separate drop down for size selection, and should add to a cart correctly. Come on... You fix that, you will increase conversions
 
Lots of good advice in this thread. You need to rethink and revamp your BRANDING!

Re-design your site so it up to date and modern looking. You say you know your age demographics? Do you think 18-25 year old's are looking at crap sites like yours?

You also need to fucking set up a FAN PAGE on FB! WTF!
Get your site interactive!
Have a FB fan page contest every month and have your fans submit suggestions for new shirt ideas!

You've sold over 1 million? Do you have a damn merchant account? If you do get JUMIO! Just google that shit.
 
IMO, people aren't buying them because they are NOT funny, interesting or catchy and there's far to many words on them (hey stop for a minute so I can read your shirt). You need something like "Tips. They insure your next pizza doesn't have boogers on it" or something simple like a shirt that say TIPS above a picture of food with snot dripping off of it and below the picture "servers remember" or something. PM me for my paypal for my commissions after you strike it big.
 
Your website doesn't convert because it is shit.

Your t-shirts don't sell, because they are shit.

You've managed to sell them in person presumably due to having an excellent direct sales technique. Good direct sales people can literally sell shit.

Your website and products need a vast overhaul to be successful in the online marketplaces, and there's some great tips in this thread to do so.
