Hola, It’s Irma your Subbing Amiga!!!
I’m glad you’ve taken an interest in sublimation. As you well know, it has changed my life completely! Helping me work from home, allowing me to spend more time with my 4 kids, and giving me the opportunity to become my own boss. Now I want to share what I’ve learned through my sublimation experience with you. But before we get into how you too can take the steps to have your own sublimation business, I’d like to go over why you should start right now!
Why Start A Sublimation Business Now?
1. Starting a sublimation business now is the perfect time because it’s in high demand!
● Non-Profit organizations (like churches, food banks, and charities)
● Schools
● Sports
● and think about all the local businesses in your area, They all need help.
2. For many years big-business print shops have had control in the industry, letting them price products they know customers would pay because well, customers didn’t have any other choice! Fast forward to now and customers have another option, small sublimation businesses like, you guessed it, YOURS and MINE! People are now becoming aware of this and our lower-cost and personal attention customer service are attractive.
3. Starting a sublimation business has a relatively small start-up cost of roughly $1000. No more having to make a huge investment in things like expensive equipment, brick-and-mortar shop, and employees to pay to attend to the shop while you’re not there.
Bonus: Think of all the time you’ll be saving by working from home!
