Find out how other shops handle their inbound quotes

I'm interviewing 15 owners of US screen-print and decorated-apparel shops (3 to 15 people) about how inbound quote requests actually move through the shop. Give me 20 minutes on Zoom. I ask one open question and mostly listen. In return, you get the anonymized findings once the interviews wrap: how other shops handle peak season, what's working for them, and where they get stuck. It's a research call, not a sales call. There's no product to sell yet.

What I'm exploring

I'm exploring whether a tool could take some of the quote-handling load off small shops, but I haven't settled on what it should be, or whether it's worth building at all. That's the point of these calls. If something useful comes out of them, the shops I talked to will have shaped it. Either way, you walk away with the report.

Can't spare 20 minutes? Just get the report

Leave your email and I'll send you the anonymized summary when the interviews wrap in early July 2026. Just the findings, no pitch. If something comes out of this research later and you'd want to hear about it, you'll get the choice to opt in.

Who's doing this research

I've spent more than five years in the printed apparel and print-on-demand industry, mostly selling to the apparel brands that order from shops like yours, with some time working directly alongside screen printers. This is independent research I'm doing before deciding whether to build anything, not a pitch in disguise. That's why there's nothing to buy on this page.
