Pricing a toddler or youth apparel line comes down to three numbers: the base price you pay to print it, the plan you are on, and the margin you choose to add. None of it requires a spreadsheet. Here is exactly what the youth lineup costs on the Free plan versus Self-Service VIP, where a $105/mo Done-For-You VIP plan fits into the picture, and a realistic margin range for tees, hoodies, and hats.
| Piece | Free base | VIP base | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Youth Airlume Cotton Tee | $23.93 | $19.88 | $4.05 |
| Youth Moisture-Wicking Performance Tee | $28.95 | $23.88 | $5.07 |
| Youth Performance Long Sleeve | $35.95 | $29.88 | $6.07 |
| Youth Crewneck Sweatshirt | $39.93 | $33.88 | $6.05 |
| Youth Hoodie | $44.92 | $36.88 | $8.04 |
| Youth Athletic Mesh Shorts | $32.92 | $26.88 | $6.04 |
| Youth Classic Baseball Hat | $29.88 | $25.86 | $4.02 |
The Free plan lists only 3 live products at a time, at the higher base price. Self-Service VIP is $59/mo, unlocks 200 products, and drops the base price on every piece.
Every dollar over the base price is yours. Bear Grips does not take a cut of the retail markup. A $10 default profit on a $19.88 VIP tee sets a $29.88 retail price. The same $10 on a $36.88 VIP hoodie sets $46.88 retail. Most vendors add a slightly larger margin on hoodies and crewnecks since customers already expect a higher price point on heavier pieces.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.The exact numbers scale with how many families or customers see the shop link, but the math itself does not change: no batch cost, no leftover stock, margin on every single piece sold.
Done-For-You VIP runs $105/mo and includes a personal shop advisor, mockups on 15 curated products, professionally written product pages, and seasonally curated collections. It is built around the whole shop, not a toddler line specifically, but a vendor on that plan can ask their advisor to include a youth tee or hoodie among the 15 curated pieces at no extra cost. For a business that only wants a small standalone kids line, Self-Service VIP at $59/mo is usually the better starting point.
Every signup, free or paid, gets an affiliate link along with the shop. Referring another vendor earns 10 percent of that vendor's subscription forever, plus $1 per unit they sell, including youth pieces, paid bi-weekly. A gym or daycare that refers another local business earns on every youth tee that business sells, not just its own.
The Youth Airlume Cotton Tee at $19.88 VIP base, or $23.93 on the Free plan.
Yes. Every piece costs $4 to $11 more per unit on Free compared to Self-Service VIP, and Free is capped at 3 live products.
The default recommendation is $10 per item. Hoodies and crewnecks commonly support $12-$18 since the base price is already higher.
Yes, anytime. There is no lock-in on pricing, and changes apply to future orders immediately.
