Apparel Ordering Programs

Apparel ordering, without the spreadsheets.

We create free online stores that make apparel ordering, fundraising, and spirit wear sales easy. We handle the setup design support, and order fulfillment. The organization simply shares the store link with their group.

We've been there.

In fact, we’ve been the volunteer trying to keep everything organized while also making sure deadlines are met. That’s one of the reasons we created our Apparel Ordering Programs.

Our goal is simple: make ordering apparel easier for the people doing the work.

Built for more than spirit wear

Many people know these programs as Spirit Stores, but they can be used for so much more. Whether you’re selling spirit wear, coordinating event shirts, raising money for an organization, or managing employee apparel, we can help simplify the process.

Not a generic online store you're left to figure out alone.

When you work with To A Tee Designs, we help guide the process from start to finish — so you already have enough on your plate, and we can take this project off of it.

You focus on your people. We'll handle the rest.

Five steps, start to finish

We’ve spent years helping schools, teams, organizations, businesses, and event coordinators navigate apparel sales — simple systems work best.

01

We Build Your Store

A consultation on your goals, audience, products, timeline, and delivery preferences — then a custom storefront branded for your organization.

02

You Spread the Word

Promote your store through email, social media, newsletters, and group chats. We'll share posts too, but your own outreach drives the results.

03

Orders Are Collected

Customers order directly through the store. Depending on your program, people pay directly, or the organization handles payment separately.

04

Store Closes

A limited sales window — typically Thursday to the Sunday two weekends later — gives people time to order while creating real urgency.

05

Production & Delivery

Orders ship directly to customers, deliver in bulk to the organization, or both. We'll help determine what works best for your group.

Made to order, not guessed at.

There are a lot of ways to sell apparel. Over the years, we’ve found that batch printing provides the best experience for most schools, organizations, and events.

Because products are made after the ordering period closes, organizations don’t have to guess how many shirts to order. Products are created based on actual demand — that helps organizations stay organized, reduce waste, and avoid inventory headaches while still enjoying the benefits of bulk production.

0

Leftover Inventory

We’ve found that ordering exactly what people want is almost always better than guessing what they’ll want later.

One store, reopened all year long.

One of the features our customers appreciate most is that their store doesn’t disappear after one sale. A school might use the same storefront for fall spirit wear, playoff apparel, winter hoodies, spring sports apparel, and teacher appreciation shirts.

The store URL stays the same. The branding stays the same. We simply activate new sales when they’re needed — making future apparel sales easier for both organizers and supporters.

Built for 5Ks, walks, and festivals too.

Apparel Ordering Programs aren’t just for schools. Many event organizers use them for 5Ks, charity walks, fundraisers, community events, festivals, and tournaments.

Instead of collecting paper forms, tracking payments, and guessing quantities, organizers can focus on running a successful event while we handle the apparel side.

Onboarding and brand consistency, simplified.

Businesses often face many of the same challenges as schools and organizations. New employees need uniforms. Team members need replacement apparel. Departments need updated shirts.

A branded online store gives employees a simple way to order approved apparel while helping maintain brand consistency.

Raise money, without the risk.

Many organizations use apparel sales as a fundraising tool. Results vary based on participation, products, and program goals — but there is no risk to your organization.

Pieces of the Same Design to Qualify for Payout

0

No upfront inventory. No financial risk.

Fundraising programs require a minimum of 24 pieces of the same design to qualify for a fundraising payout. However, there is no risk to the organization — we will produce and fulfill the orders that are placed regardless of whether fundraising goals are met. There’s no upfront inventory to purchase, no boxes of unsold apparel to store, and no financial risk if participation falls short of expectations. We take care of production and fulfillment so your organization can focus on promoting the sale and supporting your cause.

We don't hand you a link and wish you luck.

Our goal is to become a partner in the process. We’ll help guide product selection, timelines, best practices, fulfillment options, and program setup — so you can focus on your organization while we focus on making the apparel side as smooth as possible.

Absolutely. Businesses frequently use them for employee apparel, replacement uniforms, company merchandise, and new employee onboarding. While year-round ordering programs are especially popular with businesses, they aren’t limited to business use — schools, organizations, teams, and other groups may also benefit from an ongoing apparel program depending on their needs. Unlike most fundraising and limited-time sales, some stores can remain open year-round for ongoing ordering. Available products and decoration methods may vary based on the goals of the program, and we’ll help determine the best solution during the consultation process.

Not at all. We’ll help guide you through the process and answer questions along the way.
