Photos are big. Everyone loves to pull out their wallet and show off pictures of the new baby, the wedding photos, or snaps of their best friends or hot boyfriend. Albums are a big seller, but let's face it, most people won't sit still long enough for you talk your way through a whole photo album. What better way to show off your favorite photographs than with a T-shirt or a custom mug? They make great gifts for grandparents and distant relatives too.
People love personalized items and especially love things with pictures of their favorite people. So, why not cash in on their enthusiasm and start your own Custom Photo business?
All you need to do is print the chosen photo on a chosen item. That is not difficult to do with today's technology. If you have a printer and access to a scanner, you simply need to scan the photo in and print it out on transfer paper in order to place the photograph on any cloth surface. As for mugs, you can buy special ones with space to insert your printed picture (don't use real photos because they can change color with the heat). These are available in craft stores.
If you wish to be a bit more high tech, why not opt for screen-printing? This will cost more and unless you are a professional screen printer, you will need to send these jobs out. This is usually best for large jobs where someone orders 100 coffee mugs for Grandma
