00:00 Intro
01:13 Tip #1: Determine your apparel decoration method
03:16 Tip #2: Choose your market and find your niche
06:33: Tip #3: Price your services correctly
Henry’s first tip for beginners in the custom apparel industry is to determine the decoration method that’s right for them. He covers some of the most popular methods, and elaborates on several factors that can help you narrow down which one to choose.
Next, Henry explains the importance of finding your niche in the custom apparel world, and focusing on a particular product type or customer base to build your business around. He goes on to outline two key ways to help you “niche down” and find the ideal market for your custom goods.
Finally, Henry explains how to price your services correctly to maximize profit. This is arguably the most crucial step for beginners, and one of the most often overlooked. He explains the importance of striking a balance when it comes to pricing, and how to be more aware of hidden fees you need to charge along the way.

Doing research on starting an apparel business so I can be smart and efficient and this video perfectly summed up what my research has led me to prioritize and consider when starting out. Can't wait to learn more about your channel from understanding/utilizing your consumer's demand; how to find and decide what materials to buy like shirts and capital, and other important things to consider and plan for that I don't even know about yet!

Mr. MA, I have contacted Ricoma several time to get an answer to a basic question but have gotten nowhere. Ive spoken with the help line, sales or any other department I contacted. I hope this gets to you and am able to release the information I require. I purchased a MT1501 and was wondering how your assembly department sets the initial tension before testing the tension. I understand that adjustments will be made to get the right tension after the setup but I was looking for the initial setup for the tensions after threading the machine for the very first time. I seems to me, to be a coveted secret, as know one in your company has, willing to share or knows the answer. Can you Help?

There are no set parameters for the initial tension setup. It is adjusted to suit whatever garment is being embroidered. Would suggest to do a tension test (I-test or H-test) and set your tension based on what you see
