Memorial Day Hero WODs Event Shirts – 7-Day Preorder & 2-Week Turnaround

Short version: We design your event tee, open a private webstore for 7 days, collect payment (with no credit-card fees to you), print exactly what sold, and deliver in about 2 weeks—bagged and sorted for easy pickup. Minimum 24 pieces (mix tees/tanks under the same design). Webstores are free for every client.

Why Murph & Hero WOD shirts sell (and how to avoid leftovers)

Event tees convert because they combine pride, participation, and a deadline. When you run a short preorder, you concentrate attention into one week and eliminate guesswork on sizes. The result is a clean sell-through, no dead stock, and a memorable launch day when members pick up their shirts.

What kills momentum: long windows, too many SKUs, and designs people won’t wear outside the gym. Our system solves all three.

What you get with Forever Fierce (since 2008)

• Custom design included (clean, wearable art members reach for year-round)

• Free private webstore for every client (no setup fees)

• No credit-card fees taken from your margin

• 7-day preorder (we won’t exceed 10 days—longer hurts conversion)

• Order minimum: 24 pieces (mix garments under one design)

• Delivery: ~2 weeks post-close, bagged/sorted by member

• Marketing kit: launch email/captions, daily in-class mention scripts, QR posters

• Realistic profit: $1–2K per drop for 100–300-member gyms when you follow the play

• Scale you can trust: 30,000+ gym orders, millions of shirts printed, millions returned to owners

How our event preorder works (simple 4-step flow)

1. Design
   We create a hero workout design in your voice—clean wordmark or icon on the chest, optional small back mark with event/date. Two tasteful colorways max. We keep it wearable beyond the event.

2. Private Link
   We spin up a private webstore with only your products. It includes a countdown timer, size charts, Apple/Google/PayPal payments, and cart-recovery emails.

3. Promote for 7 Days
   You use our kit: Email #1 (Mon launch), Email #2 (Wed reminder), Email #3 (Fri last chance); daily in-class mentions (15-second scripts); QR posters at check-in. We do not exceed a 10-day window.

4. Print, Sort, Deliver
   We print exactly what sold, then bag/sort by member for quick pickup. You get paid the Tuesday after the store closes (or instant PayPal on request).

Minimum: 24 pieces (mix allowed—e.g., 10 tees + 14 tanks with the same design).
If you end under 24: order the difference to reach 24 or print under-min at +$6 per item. Many gyms add a few extras for stragglers/misprints.

Timeline to be ready for Memorial Day

• T-5–6 weeks: Kickoff + design approvals

• T-3 weeks: Sample rack arrives; schedule your preorder week

• T-2 weeks: 7-day webstore opens (Mon–Sun or Mon–Fri)

• T-0: Store closes → production

• T+2 weeks: Pickup day hype—hand out labeled bags, grab photos for the next launch

This cadence ensures your members are wearing the tee during the event, not a week after it.

Design that members actually wear (outside the gym)

Event shirts should read like real streetwear, not a poster. Stick to designs people feel comfortable wearing to brunch, school pickup, or a casual office.

Skip: skulls, gore, barbed wire, weaponized barbells/kettlebells, illegible “metal band” type.
Use: clean wordmarks, icon badges, tasteful heritage stamps, minimal event/date line, one–two inks, and a small chest mark with an optional tidy back print.

Color strategy: run one hero neutral (charcoal/black/navy heather) and—if you want—a single secondary. Neutrals win the most wears over time.

SKU & sizing strategy (conversion > choice)

• 2–4 total SKUs (e.g., tee + tank, plus women’s cut if you know it sells)

• One design across garments to hit minimums faster

• Sample rack (XS–XL core; add extended sizes you carry) at check-in with a sign: “Try Your Size Here”

• Fit note on the store: “Soft hand, slightly tailored; between sizes, size up.”

Less choice = faster decisions and higher take rate.

Pricing & profit (transparent math)

Example: Tee at $29.99 retail. Your cost at 35 items is $15.99 → ~$14–$15 profit per tee.

Mix in a seasonal fleece (cool-weather events) and many 100–300-member gyms land in the $1–2K net range for a one-week push when they run the play (samples + in-class mentions + final-day urgency).

We provide your exact pricing before the link goes live. We do not deduct credit-card fees from your payout.

Shipping & pickup options

• Local pickup (fast and free): great if you have a staffed desk or set pickup hours.

• Direct shipping: perfect if members are remote or you lack a physical pickup spot.
  If you don’t have a location, encourage shipping at checkout. Incorrect selections are the customer’s responsibility.

Policies that keep launches smooth

• All sales are final. We replace items damaged or lost in transit; we can’t exchange sizes after ordering.

• W9 required before we issue your link (quick form; we’ll send the guide).

• Payout: Paper check mailed the Tuesday after close (usually arrives within a week) or instant PayPal upon reconciliation.

What owners need to do (the tiny list)

1. Approve the design and SKUs (2–4 total).

2. Put out the sample rack.

3. Have coaches read our 15-second before/after-class script all week.

4. Send three emails (we’ll hand you the copy).
   We’ll do the rest.

FAQs

How fast can we turn this around?
Design to delivery typically 4–6 weeks with a 7-day preorder in the middle and ~2-week production after close.

What if we don’t hit 24 pieces?
Order the difference to reach 24 or print under-min at +$6 per item. Many gyms add a few extras to cover stragglers.

Can we mix tees and tanks?
Yes—as long as it’s the same design, mixes like 10 tees + 14 tanks count toward the 24-piece minimum.

Do you charge credit-card fees or store fees?
No. Webstores are free for every client, and we don’t take CC fees out of your payout.

Can members change sizes after ordering?
No—all sales are final. That’s why we push the sample rack and include size charts on every product page.

What about shipping vs pickup?
Offer either or both. If you don’t have a pickup location, encourage shipping at checkout.

What designs sell best for Hero WODs?
Clean chest mark + tasteful event/date line. Keep it wearable—members will keep wearing it long after the workout.
