| What is your solution? | The new “Kayak.com for custom t-shirts for groups,” bidPress is a platform that lets customers design custom t-shirts and other apparel online and get instant quotes from top print shops.We’re rethinking the way the market for custom t-shirts and other apparel works. We are disrupting a $9+ billion industry widely known for a lack of retail innovation, with more than 85% of orders placed offline and with an online industry dominated by a few large players that charge high prices or have clunky websites. At bidPress, customers can save up to 35% versus online and offline shops, since printers in our network have extra capacity and will print at low margins to stay busy. |
