Old Way vs. Your New Pro Shop Way

Same three problems. Two very different answers.

Old Way
$2K to $5K
Bulk-Order Gamble
  • Inventory from past orders still in your office
  • XS, S, XL sit in the bin for months
  • Pieces go missing. You give the rest away
Your Pro Shop
$0 UPFRONT
No Inventory Ever
  • Member orders one, we print one
  • Zero cash tied up. Zero boxes to store
  • Profit hits your dashboard, not a bin
Old Way
3 WEEKS
To Reorder Anything
  • 24, 36 or 48-piece minimums per color
  • Charged per color, per placement, per design
  • Sold out of sizes or colors kids want
  • Can't say yes without $2K + 3 weeks
Your Pro Shop
~1 WEEK
Door to Door
  • No minimums. Order 1 or 100, same price
  • Unlimited colors, designs, placements
  • Kids pick size and color at checkout
  • USA printed and shipped free to their door
Old Way
2 WASHES
Until It's Cardboard
  • Print cracks, shirt stiffens, color fades
  • Kids stop wearing it
  • You and the coaches reach for other brands
Your Pro Shop
50+ WASHES
Still Soft
  • Premium blanks: Bella+Canvas, Champion, Sport-Tek
  • Soft on day 1, soft after 50 washes
  • Coaches reach for the program hoodie, not the other brand

Program Director Reviews

Hear from after school program directors and counselors running this today.

Quality, sizing, time. The three things every owner wants to know about, answered by the programes already running their apparel through us.

MR
Mike R.
Program Director · 75 kids
Q: DO THE PROGRAM TEES HOLD UP TO FIELD TRIPS, ART DAYS AND WEEKLY WASHES?

"Director of an after school program at a 400-student elementary school, three sites across the district. Bulk-printed program tees faded by the first field-trip bus. Bella+Canvas tees and Champion hoodies through the Pro Shop held the program logo through field trips, art project days, color-team Fridays and weekly washes. Kids wore the program hoodie to school on non-program days. Free program marketing across every hallway."

JT
Jenna T.
After School Program Director · 182 kids
Q: A NEW KINDERGARTNER ENROLLED MID-YEAR AND NEEDS A YOUTH SMALL.

"After school program rosters add kids week-by-week. Mid-year kindergartner enrolls in October, wants the field-trip hoodie the bulk-print never had. Used to over-order and end up with extras in the program closet. Now every family picks size and color, youth XS through adult 3XL. Late enrollees still get their after school program shirt to the door before next field trip."

RK
Ryan K.
Multi-Site Program Director · 330 kids
Q: I DIRECT THREE SITES AND COUNSEL ON THE GROUND. WHO BUILDS THE STORE?

"Program director across three after school program sites, plus on-the-ground counseling at the lead site every day. No bandwidth to design tees, write product pages or run print orders. Done-For-You plan built the entire after school program apparel shop: kid tees, counselor polos, field-trip hoodies, color-team drops, end-of-year banquet pieces. I send the program logo once a month. Families asked how we afforded a real merchandising team."

Program Director & Counselor Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can we print our after school program name, host school and program-year art on custom after school program apparel?+

Yes. Every after school program shirt, after school program tshirt, hoodie, embroidered polo and embroidered hat supports your after school program name, host school, program-year art, color-team callouts, field-trip art and "Established" year. Custom after school program shirts, counselor polos and field-trip tees all in one branded program shop. Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee. Strong after school program shirt designs land cleanly on the front, back, sleeve or chest.

Do you provide after school program supplies, art kits, books, snack packs or curriculum materials?+

No. After school program supplies, art kits, books, snack packs and curriculum materials are program-supply specialty goods from an after school program vendor. What we do best: branded after school program apparel. After school program shirts, after school program tshirts for the kids, counselor tees and hoodies, embroidered Sport-Tek and Gildan staff polos, field-trip hoodies for the bus and embroidered Yupoong, Otto Cap and Richardson hats. The branded after school program gear kids, counselors and parents recognize at every pickup line.

Can we run kid tees, counselor gear, field-trip drops and color-team apparel in one after school program shop?+

Yes. Your shop is one branded program URL, organized into sections: Kids, Counselors, Staff, Field Trips, Color Teams (Red Team, Blue Team, Green Team, Yellow Team), Family Events, End-of-Year Drops. Each field-trip day gets its own collection. Color-team tees roll out for color days. Counselors grab their staff polo. Families pre-order, you collect profit, no inventory in the program closet.

Can parents, families and counselors order their own after school program shirts and field-trip hoodies directly?+

That is the whole point. Drop your program shop link in the parent newsletter, the registration confirmation email, the program Instagram or pin it to the host school office portal. Parents, families and counselors check out themselves with size, color and grade. After school program tshirts, counselor polos, field-trip hoodies and embroidered hats ship to each home free in about a week. You never collect cash at pickup, count shirts at sign-in or hand out apparel in the carpool line again.

Will the after school program tees and counselor polos hold up to a year of pickups, field trips, art projects and weekly washes?+

Yes. Premium athletic blanks. Bella+Canvas, Champion hoodies, Independent Trading Co. crewnecks, Sport-Tek embroidered polos and embroidered Yupoong hats. Real program-grade after school program apparel, not the stiff cotton tee from a generic catalog. Kids and counselors wear them through pickups, field-trip buses, art project days, color-team Fridays and weekly washes. Print holds, embroidery stays sharp. Pull a few samples from your dashboard at base price first and feel the difference.

We already use Custom Ink or a local print shop for after school program shirts. Why switch?+

Three reasons most after school program directors switch within a month. Shipping: theirs charges $5 to $10 per order, hidden. Ours is free, every order. Fees: theirs charges per color, per placement, per design. Ours is one flat base price, unlimited colors. Permanence: theirs is bulk-order at program-start, then dead. Ours is a permanent after school program shop at your URL year-round, ready for fall enrollment, mid-year field trips, color-team day, family movie night and end-of-year banquet.

Do I pay anything when a family orders? What about counselor polos and staff lead gear?+

Zero cost when a family orders. They pay the retail price you set. Your $8 to $16 profit lands directly in the program dashboard. The rest covers our base price for printing, packing, and free USA shipping. For counselor polos, staff lead polos, field-trip chaperone polos, build a Counselors & Staff section and self-order at base price. Watch every order land in real time on your phone between pickup blocks.
