Make November Your Biggest Sales Month of the Year.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just weeks away—and if you’re a decorator, preparation is everything. Whether you’re running last-minute holiday drops or scaling up your best-sellers, we’ve pulled together the tools and tips you need to make the season smooth, profitable, and stress-free.

Step 1: Lock in Your Best-Sellers Early

Don’t wait until November to decide what you’ll sell. Look at your past orders, spot your trending designs, and order transfers ahead of time. The fastest-selling shops are the ones who prepare their inventory now.

Step 2: Use the Holiday Launch Planner

Stay organized with our downloadable planner. It walks you through setting launch dates, mapping promos, and planning your production schedule—so you’re not scrambling the week of Black Friday.

Step 3: Keep Production Moving Fast

The holiday rush leaves no room for bottlenecks. Use quick and easy to apply transfers like DTF and Digital Hybrid to handle volume without slowing down. Keep extras of stock numbers for jerseys to cover last-minute orders.

Step 4: Keep Tools on Hand

 • Fabric & Formula Guide: Quick reference for error-free applications.
 • Placement Cheat Sheet: Simplify names, numbers, and jersey layouts.
 • Turnaround Times & Shipping Options: Mark your calendar with order cutoffs so nothing ships late.
