And I found them. Richie: [] So when did this start, it was ? Richie: [] So we must have talked and recorded the first episode not that far after. Richie: [] Yeah. Charlie: [] Yeah, sure. The first six months were having a lot of fun gathering aesthetic inspiration, learning how to deal with my supplier, learning how to pack and ship and do all the logistics myself. So the volume of releases has gone up five times since I started.
Charlie: [] Yeah, exactly. Richie: [] Right. I remember you thought this was going to end…. Charlie: [] I thought it was going to fizzle immediately. Richie: [] I remember just talking to you all the time, you always had in the back your mind, this concern that the pin thing, the patch thing, was going to go away.
And, the same type of audience you would have had for a much bigger product in the 70s or 80s, you can have a giant audience for this product, and do a great job with your business. You know, not necessarily be known in the in the news or in any specific industry as a giant success story, but you can really maintain sort of a small business model. Charlie: [] No no. I mean, bikers and bands and people have been wearing them forever. And maybe it gets more endearing to them over time.
Charlie: [] It was pretty much just pins and patches from the start. Just random stuff like that. And then before any of the apparel….
Charlie: [] Yeah I had a friend who made these big woven blankets, and he told me that he used Walmart to make them and he would make one at a time and they cost a fortune to make, because Walmart up-charges. Richie: [] And these were like tapestries you would either put on the floor or hang on a wall. Charlie: [] Yeah you could put them on the wall, put them on the floor. And I use the same model and kept them, and those have provided a really excellent extra revenue stream.
Richie: [] So like ten times more than what the pins were. And I have really just wanted, for a long time, to feel comfortable with wearing a piece of apparel that I would make. And so I just started making shirts and all this stuff with zero overhead, because my profit margins were lower, but there was no overhead because I was just making one-off dropship pieces, and then I would put them out and try to creatively market them to see what would happen.
Charlie: [] So talk a bit about the dropshipping piece. For the longest time people would buy inventory, they would take a risk, they would have to assess it in some way and then figure out after the fact whether this was actually worth doing. I like to take things slow, I like to build the foundation.
And so they had to fine-tune their process. When I first started doing it, a couple of people received blankets that had a random Christmas card on them. There was one of just a guy on a motorcycle that some guy got, and he sent me this photo and I was laughing my ass off because it was just like this guy ordered some….
So it could have been Walmart, could have been anything. And I think the coolest thing is that not every company that does dropshipping is some sort of behemoth that is mistreating their workers, is skimping profits, is trying to cut every corner they can, margin wise, to milk it as much as possible, including lowering the quality, objectively.
Richie: [] But for you it sounds like the on-demand piece has been integral to this thing growing. That you can just turn the nozzle any time you need to. Charlie: [] Yeah. Richie: [] Talk about the marketing side of it a bit. If you can breathe, you can talk shit. Unless you are Roger Ebert. SG: Only one person updates the site. But the community provides the content.
