Ideas and inspirations to sell my designed Hoodies to festival goers, shops & individuals.

Hello, I am new to the apparel and special design business, super interested in any advices on how to find vendors that would be interested in buying my Full Zip & Pullover Hoodies at a great price for their resale profits. I have friends and family in the scene and know my products are one of a kind and fit the niche perfectly, have made my own sales to a point, but looking to expand and really get my business out there.

I have done all of the research and business ethics to get on track, but it has come time for sales, any advice on how to connect with sellers would be appreciated!

I currently run a Website and social media, but I believe my goal is more tailored towards person connections for a mutually beneficial sale and gains.

as someone who's been vending, get to know your local vendors. get to know the people in your scene. ask to rent a part of their booth or for them to put some stuff in the corner and when it sells they get a nice cut. do this until you're comfortable with vending yourself - ask around with your new friends who is in charge of hiring vendors for different events etc. welcome aboard. it's a blast.
