Answer: Earnings per slot depend on how many
shirts are sold. Each shirt sells for $49.99, and our third-party print
provider charges $5.49 for the shirt and printing. Shipping and handling
costs ($7) are covered by us to incentivize customer purchases. Our
provider also deducts a 7% processing fee from the remaining profit.
After these deductions, your net profit per shirt is approximately
$34.87.
From that amount, 90% goes to slot holders, and 10% goes to TeeMates as
the brand owner.
Each design has 100 total slots, but only 90 are available to the
public. If you’re the only one who buys a slot and the shirt sells 100
times, you receive the full 90% share of the net profit. In that case,
you’d earn approximately $3,138.30 — passively — just for being first.
If you own multiple slots, your share scales accordingly. And the
earlier you invest, the more upside you capture. Once other investors
join in, your share is diluted — but if no one else buys in, you take
nearly all of the earnings.
You’ll also be able to track sales and earnings in real time from your
investor dashboard.
It pays to be early. Literally.
