Here’s a letter I wrote to Mrs. Smith, a camp purchasing director who was shopping price for 600 youth camp t-shirts.

She found me at my web site http://www.calitiedye.com

You may not know this but I’ve been slowly getting back into the Tie Dye t-shirt business for fun and profit.

There’s a marketing lesson contained in this letter about price that I would encourage you to use for your business.

Dear Mrs. Smith,

Let’s both agree now without fighting again that you’re NOT in the tie dye t-shirt business. Therefore, how could you possibly understand my labor involved in the hand tie dying of 600 youth camp shirts?

I do understand you want the lowest price. But if price is your only concern, you can stop reading. Don’t dare compare what I do with Jane, your screen printer.

I’m not the lowest price t-shirt business. If you want low price, shop at Wal-Mart, buy a Yugo, or go to a second hand store. There are other shirts you can get for a lower price. You know this, but you still may try to beat me down on price, discount my work and compare my work unfairly.

May I explain what you get with Cali Camp Shirts so you’ll fully appreciate that you’re not just getting another imprinted camp shirt?

Your campers are getting individual works of wearable art.

Art branding your camp’s name throughout the local communities of 600 campers.

Cali Camp Shirts will be seen by the Mothers and the Fathers and the friends and the neighbors of children who may be in the market for a summer camp.

Your camp!

Cali Camp Shirts do this in a way that’s different from a plain solid color camp shirt.

It’s impossible NOT to look at and NOTICE a Cali Camp Shirt.

Our vibrant rainbow of colors and patterns command attention to your camp.

And before you say that you can find Cali Camp Shirts anywhere, I want you to know that Cali Camp Shirt are different from other Tie Dye imposters.

These are not the fake ones, made to look like tie dye shirts.

But the most important reason you need to understand is you’ll have 600 Cali Camp Shirts advertising your camp.

And if you go cheap and ask your young campers to wear with pride an average looking camp shirt, your camp’s name will not be seen.

Ugly Camp Shirts Die Young . . .

What does it takes to make a Cali Camp Shirts for your camper?

Compare this process with the plain imprinted t-shirts you got last year from plain Jane’s Screen-printing down on Main and Third.

1.  I buy the t-shirts blank or you can send me your shirts already printed from Jane’s Screen-printing.

2.  I wash each shirt with a detergent to remove the factory chemicals from the cotton fabric.

3.  I dry the shirts in an electric 220 amp Kenmore dryer. For some reason the Kenmore brand works best.

4.  I wash the shirts again to soften and remove remaining chemicals from the fabric.

5.  I dry each shirt again, but this time I use a dryer sheet to further soften and sent your camper’s shirts.

6.  Each shirt is then pre-soaked in water with a PH changing agent called (DSA) dense soda ash.
(DSA is safe and it changes the PH of the water so the dye will bond permanently to the shirts)

7.  Each garment is soaked in this solution for up to 90 minutes, depending on dye colors used.

8.  Each shirt is squeezed out by hand. (Most other tie dyers get this part wrong. They squeeze too much water out. This step is critical to the white contrasting lines and the way the dye bonds to the garment.)

9.  Each shirt is folded wet. (This is very hard to do right and takes skill, training and many hours of practice.)

10.  Each shirt is tied and rubber banded. (Very labor intensive process taking up tons of time.)

11.  We heat our dyes and mix them with urea, another PH changing agent before we apply dye to the shirts.

12.  Dyes are mixed to exact specifications and applied to each shirt one by one by hand with a special applicator bottle. Precession application and an artist’s steady hand needed to get this part right.

13.  Each shirt is sealed in and air tight cocoon with a special rapper material to keep the sun and air from entering.

14.  We let each shirt cure and set for 24 hours, depending on the amount of colors used on the shirt.

15.  Each shirt is then unsealed from its cocoon.

16.  Each shirt is rinsed under an ice cold water solution until extra dye is washed out.

17.  Then each shirt is delicately washed with a special agent that keeps the excess dye from attaching to the white areas of the shirt keeping the colors      bright and vibrant. There’s nothing worse than muddy looking dye stains.

18.  Then the garments are fluffed and folded by hand.

And that’s why offering a Cali Tie Dye Camp Shirt to your campers is different and yes, more expensive than the old shirts you’ve been offering your campers all of these years.

It may be time you put your camper’s pride before price if you expect them to wear your camp brand this summer.
