Now we move to setting up the t-shirts. As you can see, I've got my stack of t-shirts here. Usually, you want to have like a six foot table. You can see this is not a six foot table because if I stretch my arms out that would be six foot, or maybe actually a little bit longer since I've got Abe Lincoln arms. But, you're not always going to have a six foot table so you need to be able to adapt to the circumstances. This means making sure, you always want to make sure the important part of your t-shirts are displayed and the t-shirts are relatively nice. You can see that it looks like I have two different types of t-shirts. This is actually a guys t-shirt, these are girls t-shirts so I try to keep those together. I always try to make sure that I have a good arrangement of t-shirts. I'm going to put this over here for just a second. A good arrangement of t-shirts that show off all the variety of what I have to sell. You can even do these little tricks here like folding these things over, oh my lord, and putting things together like that. You've got your t-shirts set up on here. I joke a lot of times with people, they see me setting up my t-shirts, my CDs and say that I've got a masters degree from the institute of merch layout and design in Wiscocia, Wisconsin. People always laugh I go on and then they tell me I'm anal or something like that. But, it is really important to have everything set out and looking nice. Pretty soon we're going to put up all the price details on here and keep going with the rest of the stuff.
