Ready to launch branded apparel for your club lacrosse business? This checklist covers everything from choosing products to setting up your shop to getting your first sale.
Research & Planning
Define your club lacrosse brand identity — logo, colors, tagline, and vibe
Identify your target audience: Club lacrosse directors, travel team coaches, recruiting-age players
Research what competing club lacrosse brands are selling for apparel
Set your pricing strategy (base cost + profit margin)
Gather design assets — logo files in PNG/SVG, brand fonts, color codes
Product Selection
Pick 5-10 products to start — no minimums means you can test freely (unlike print shops that force 50+ per design)
Consider what your club lacrosse directors actually wear daily
Check size ranges (XS-4XL) for inclusivity across your club lacrosse community
Review material options — cotton, performance, blend — all premium brands, not cheap blanks
Use the mockup editor to preview your designs on real products — no samples needed
Shop Setup
Sign up for a free Bear Grips Pro Shop — no upfront costs, no contracts, no risk
Upload your club lacrosse logo and customize your storefront — customers see YOUR brand
Add your first 3-5 products with designs using the built-in mockup editor
Write product descriptions that speak directly to club lacrosse directors
Set retail prices (recommended: base + $10-15 profit per item)
Preview your shop on mobile and desktop — most club lacrosse buyers shop on phones
Launch & Promote
Share your shop link on social media channels your club lacrosse audience uses
Email your existing customers, members, or community list
Pin your shop link in your bio, profile, or website navigation
Run a launch promotion — 10% off first week to drive early sales
Ask for photos from your first customers to use as social proof
Grow & Scale
Add new designs monthly — no minimums means you can test anything for your club lacrosse audience
Track what sells and double down on winners — no wasted inventory when something doesn't move
Join the affiliate program — earn 10% recurring + $1/unit on every vendor you refer
Consider upgrading to Self-Service VIP ($59/mo) for lower base prices — save $4-11 per item. Or go hands-free with Done-For-You VIP ($109/mo) — we build your entire shop, set optimal pricing, and curate seasonal collections monthly
Launch seasonal drops and limited editions — Bear Grips adds new catalog items regularly to keep your club lacrosse shop current
