Detour Designables is one of the most active DTG shops on my radar- creator Juna Duncan adds new designs each week, and keeps fans updated with active Facebook and Twitter accounts. Juna was kind enough to chat with us a bit about what it takes to succeed in the on-demand apparel industry.
What inspired you to start Detour Designables? In 2003, a business partner and I started a web design company called Detour Design. We came across an article on how businesses were making extra money selling t-shirts online. Before Detour Design, I submitted my own designs to t-shirt companies as a freelance artist. Selling t-shirts online was a no-brainer for me. The name Detour Designables is a combination of our company name Detour Design and the word “wearables”. Today, Detour Design no longer operates
The article on selling t-shirts online mentioned several DTG sites to try. After giving each site a “test drive”, we chose Cafepress. In our opinion, Cafepress’ marketplace is the strongest DTG site on the internet. Their site is easy to use. We can change the look of our store whenever we want. Cafepress handles all of the customer service and inventory. We never deal with customers. Cafepress does a great job selling our designs. We opened our first store, Detour Designables, with CafePress on May 5, 2005
