Next Level Tank Top Pricing and Profit Margins for Shop Owners

The math on selling Next Level tank tops through a Bear Grips Pro Shops storefront comes down to three numbers: the base price you pay, the retail price you set, and the volume you sell. Here is the full pricing table for both Next Level tank styles, how the free and VIP plans compare, and a worked example of the profit math.

Free vs VIP Base Price on Next Level Tanks

Style	Free base	VIP base	VIP savings
Ladies Racerback Tank	$23.93	$19.88	$4.05
Women's Premium Triblend Racerback Tank	$31.93	$25.88	$6.05

What the VIP Plans Unlock Beyond the Discount

Self-Service VIP runs $59/mo for 200 live products at the lowest base prices. Done-For-You VIP runs $105/mo and adds a personal shop advisor, monthly mockups on every color variant, curated top 6 color picks, professionally written product pages, and optimal retail pricing set from real sales data. Both plans stack the base-price savings shown above against the free plan's $0/mo, 3-product limit.

Setting Your Retail Price on a Next Level Tank

• Racerback tank. Most vendors retail $28-$34, leaving $8-$14 profit over VIP base.
• Triblend racerback tank. Most vendors retail $36-$42, leaving $10-$16 profit over VIP base.
• The default recommended profit across the catalog is $10/item, and nothing stops a vendor charging more on a premium fabric like the triblend.

Profit Math at Scale: 20 Tanks a Month

A gym or team shop selling 20 racerback tanks a month at an $8-$10 profit clears $160-$200 in margin, with no inventory risk and no upfront spend. Add the built-in affiliate program (10% of a referred vendor's subscription forever, plus $1 per unit that vendor sells) and a vendor who refers two other gym owners into VIP adds recurring revenue on top of their own tank sales.

Which Tank Has Better Margin Potential

The standard racerback tank has the lower price point and moves faster on volume, which suits gyms, teams, and events selling to a broad audience. The triblend racerback tank costs more at base but supports a higher retail ceiling for boutique or lifestyle brands, since the softer fabric feel justifies a premium price to the end customer.
