Hiking Club Bulk Apparel Orders for Trail Groups

Hiking club bulk apparel orders for 10 to 100+ members run at the same per-piece price as a single shirt at Bear Grips Pro Shops. There is no bulk tier you have to hit. The pricing logic flips traditional wholesale on its head: a 200-member club and a 12-member club both pay $19.88 base for a cotton tee. Volume discounts come from your $59 VIP plan unlocking the lowest base prices, not from cart size.

How our bulk pricing actually works

Three plans. Same product catalog. Different per-piece base prices.

• Free plan ($0/mo): higher base prices. Good for clubs under 50 members per year.
• Self-Service VIP ($59/mo): lowest base prices in the catalog. Pays for itself at roughly 6 to 10 sales per month.
• Done-For-You VIP ($109/mo): same low prices plus a Pro Shop advisor who handles design, mockups, and seasonal rotation for you.

Whichever plan you pick, order one shirt or two hundred, same per-piece base.

Why traditional bulk does not work for trail clubs

Screen printers price aggressively at 144 pieces. Below 36, they often refuse the job. A hiking club ordering custom tees by traditional bulk runs into:

• $50 to $75 screen setup fees per color
• Per-size minimums (no S/M/L flexibility)
• Bulk delivery to one address (you sort and ship)
• Leftover inventory the club has to store and resell

Our model handles every one of those: no setup fees, free size flexibility, individual member shipping, zero inventory risk.

Real bulk example: 50-member club

Say a 50-member hiking club runs a spring tee in cotton, with most members buying one tee at a $32 retail price (you set this).

Line	Number
Members buying tee	40
Retail price set by club	$32
VIP base price (cotton tee)	$19.88
Profit per shirt	$12.12
Total club revenue	$484.80

That is one season, one design. Add a fall hoodie run and a hat drop and you double the number.

Bulk for events: tournament shirts, trail race apparel

If your club runs a trail race, charity hike, or summit weekend, the store works for event-specific runs too. Add an event tee to the shop one month out, share the link with registrants, watch orders flow in. Print and ship handle the rest. See hiking club event apparel for the event playbook.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a wholesale rate for 100+ pieces?

Your VIP base price is already the wholesale rate. It does not drop further at higher quantities because there is no traditional batch production.

Can I bulk-ship one address for an event?

Yes, by request. Default is individual shipping. Contact support to set up an event bulk delivery.

How do I run a deadline-driven bulk order?

Set a cutoff date in your communications. Members order before the date, all orders print and ship within a week.

Will members get the same garment color in a bulk order?

Yes if you limit the product page to one color. Most hiking clubs offer 2 to 4 colors per piece for flexibility.
