Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Profit Math on a Small Batch of Orders
Take a Women's Favorite Tee on VIP at $19.88 base, sold at $29.88 retail. That is $10 profit per shirt, matching the platform default. Sell 40 tees in a month and that is $400 in profit on one product, with zero inventory sitting unsold and zero upfront cost. Add a Premium Cropped Hoodie at $47.88 base sold for $62 retail (about $14 profit) and 15 sales in the same month adds $210 more.
When "Cheap" Actually Means Lower Margin, Not Lower Quality
Searches for a cheap Bella+Canvas tee usually mean the buyer wants the lowest possible price point, not a lower quality shirt. On Bear Grips, the fabric and printing are identical across Free and VIP plans. The only difference is the base cost, which is why moving from Free to Self-Service VIP is the fastest way to either lower the retail price for buyers or increase margin at the same retail price.
