hey guys, Dave here with transfer express, and today we are here to
wrap up our getting started series with part three. now,
in this video we're going to cover how to get quick quoting and pricing, how to navigate the
price list that you received with your sample pack and we'll even get into how you could easily add
wholesale apparel to your cart, one through the wholesale apparel section on transferexpress.com
and one through easyview online designer. so, are you ready let's jump in!
so, in your kit you should have received a pricing sheet or a pricing guide now this
pricing sheet is the most updated price guide that we have available right now, so, you'll see
here broken down in the screen printed pricing on the pricing sheet, is that there are three levels
for our screen printed transfers. now, the first level is easy prints which is using our artwork
in easy view online designer like we showed you in part two. the second tier is vector
pricing and that is if you upload your own custom vector artwork into easyview online designer and
has that middle tier pricing, and our premium pricing is for non-vector so that's if you're
uploading raster or bitmap artwork in the uploader or an easy view online designer. in addition to
the screen printed transfers pricing, we have pricing for the reflective, the stock numbers,
express names, metallic foil, everything else all of the effects that we covered in the first video
are all going to be the screen printed transfers the elasti prints, hot split retro, the glitter,
the metallic, everything there on the back side of the sheet you'll see all of the full color pricing
when we're talking about ultra color transfers so the stretch the soft the stretch with blocker,
for your sublimated garments all of that is here even the image sizing, super handy guide
all on one sheet here. now, for any reason if you don't have the guide and want to see
updated pricing you could always go to the upload page and just mock your way through a upload.
you'll be able to see based on your configuration what the pricing of your transfers will be.
the same with easy view online designer, you could go into easy the online designer
throw some artwork on there configure your product on the right hand side, your transfer type what
garment it's going on what quantity you need what inks are printing and you'll be able to
get a good quote right there in easy view. now the easiest way to find pricing for your project
is on transferexpress.com, just head on up to the help center up here at the top of the page
that's going to take you to the help center here where there's tons of information about
almost everything we do however right here on the left hand side you can see in this first column
that there is pricing calculators if we click onto pricing calculators you'll see here that we
have the ability to go through any of the product lines and configure any products now this is just
going to give you quick pricing and of course it's dependent on the information that you're
putting in like color count or product type now one great way to make sure you're color counting
is just go through your design and count on your fingers how many different colors there are
with screen printed transfers we're printing in what we call spot color so every single different
color has its own screen and the transfers are priced accordingly now one thing to keep in mind
is accurate color counts of your artwork when you're getting pricing or quotes for your order
now you even see here on the price sheet that the pricing is broken down by one color two
color three color four color and you don't wanna be surprised by an extra color impacting your
pricing when you've already given your customer a quote for say a two color one thing to keep
in mind too when you are getting your accurate color counts is what transfer type to use now
screen printed transfers are economical in that one two sometimes even three ink range before it
is more cost effective to switch over to the full color ultra color transfers now that all depends
on if you're doing a full gang sheet as priced here on the pricing guide or if you're doing the
individual images with ultra color if you don't require a full sheet of your order of course the
screen printer transfers only come in full gank sheets so they are super awesome if you could pack
a lot of prints onto that gang sheet so regardless of how you are uploading your artwork every single
order passes through our graphic design team now our graphic design team will even redraw raster
artwork for absolutely no extra added art charges but that is why they are slightly delayed on the
turn time vector artwork still gets the same touch to make sure it's going to print awesome even with
our easy prints most of the time our designers are looking at it to make sure everything's configured
properly and everything will be printing awesome on your transfers now this gives you stellar
professional results on your transfers regardless of how your artwork was uploaded to us whether it
be a napkin sketch or a photo you pulled off the internet that isn't quite print ready or even your
vector files that might have some stray points paths or anchors hanging out there now this added
file prep step gives you the confidence in your artwork that only transfer express can provide
we are here to help you get the best quality product out there and our design team is a huge
portion of that now calculating your print cost is only half of the pricing battle whether you're
quoting customers or just figuring out how much your project is going to cost the other half of
course is what garments you will be decorating on now transfer express we're very proud to
have a huge robust catalog of wholesale apparel available right on our site now we don't require
a tax id or any business information like a lot of other wholesale suppliers provide we do this
as a service for you to make it super easy to add custom apparel whether you're a big time decorator
or a small time decorator purchasing wholesale apparel at transferexpress.com is incredibly easy

in the warehouse so you're never surprised by out of stock when you're ordering your apparel
another way to order wholesale apparel is over an easy view online designer
now it is incredibly convenient and easy to add apparel to any one of your projects if you are
already designing here an easyview online designer we'll click down here on the bottom right hand
side after your artwork's ready to go to the apparel share button this is going to take us
to the mock-up tool that we mentioned in the easy view kind of intro in part 2 of this series and as
you can see here you could select on the left hand side what garment you want what color way you want
and then over on the right hand side you can see the sizes available now here all you have to do is
input the sizes of what specific garment you would like to order and add it to the cart everything
from the easy view session goes straight into your cart for super easy ordering this is great
if you want to add a few pieces or a whole bunch it's just another way that we want to make it
the most convenient and easy for you to add wholesale apparel to your custom transfer order
there's a couple things to keep in mind when you are browsing apparel first look at the fabric type
because that's going to impact what transfer type you're going to use 100 cotton that goof proof hot
splits fine if it's 100 polyester should probably be using elastoprince or one of the ultra color
lines with a lower application temperature another thing you're going to want to look for is the
available colorways sometimes when you're working with a client who you're decorating custom apparel
for they want a specific color that may not be available in certain styles of garments so always
look for the swatches on each page and be able to select accordingly another thing to look for is
if the inside label is a tearaway label now if you're re-labeling and printing the inside tag on
any of your shirts it is great to have a tearaway label so that it removes nice and cleanly with
ease and quickly when you're printing the full job now some garments are not available in a wide size
range as others and sometimes you'll have to find a comparable style if you're in the 3x 4x 5x or
even extra small sometimes another thing to keep in mind when you're shopping around on apparel
is looking at trends and what the top styles are in the garment decorating industry there's been a
few styles like the bella canvas 3001 or the next level 3600 that consistently rank at the top of
the charts in terms of sales and those are for good reason they're comfortable economical tees
that print great now if you're a custom apparel decorator who's pitching a quote to a client
one of the best tips to use is a good better best option for the apparel now this kind of opens the
range up for cost and lets you provide an awesome solution for what your customer needs that's going
to fit their budget this way you're not just recommending and a very cheap economical kind
of promotional tea but you're offering different steps so your customer can gauge what styles and
fit and finish and feel that they're going to get with their t-shirts if you haven't noticed already
we do have a ton of video content out there just like you're watching this one right now we have
put together the top apparel styles of what we've seen ordered and we have it linked right here in
this video so you could go on over to that video and see kind of the six to eight top styles that
we see consistently ordered as wholesale blanks the last thing to keep in mind when
you're ordering apparel is always order one or two extra garments this allows you some wiggle room
for testing to see if the apparel is scorching at a certain temperature and to make sure that
the transfer type is adhering to the shirt as it is intended this also is going to reduce waste
down the line and it'll give you at best an extra that you could give to your customer or one that
you could hold on to for your own reference that way if anything goes wrong with a customer's order
you still have one in hand that you could also wash test or check anything on even if they're
reordering you could check the sizing or make any adjustments necessary and that's it this concludes
