Want to learn the five reasons why people aren't buying your Christian t- shirts? Well sis, if you got a Christian t- shirt business and you are having trouble moving that product, stay tuned to the end of this video because I'm going to share with you my five top reasons people may not be buying your Christian t- shirt business online.

Hey, it's your girl Stephanie Rodnez; Founder and CEO of Godlywoodgirl, Creator of the Godlywoodgirl School of Business. My purpose in life is to connect you with the resources you need to achieve your purpose in life. So if God has purposed you to be a Christian entrepreneur and you are looking for free resources to help you get started, make sure you hit the subscribe button to the Godlywoodgirl YouTube channel because that's what we do here sis! If you're ready to learn the top five reasons why people may not be buying your Christian t- shirts online. Grab your pen and paper and let's dive right in.

  1. They Don’t Understand the Purpose of Your Shirt

People may not be buying your Christian t- shirts because people don't understand the purpose of your t- shirt business. Listen sis, every single business needs to be a solution to a problem, including your t- shirt business. So if you are not communicating the problem that you solve in your business aka, the purpose of your business, the mission of your business, the vision of your business, then it's not going to inspire somebody to take their hard earned coins out of their pocket and give them to you for a Christian t- shirt. Remember, t- shirts are a commodity item, it's just something that we put on to wear. It's not a luxury Louis Vuitton bag or Louis Vuitton shoes. It's just a t- shirt that we wear to get through the day. So if you want people to be looking at your t- shirt business and wanting your shirts, you need to communicate to that person why your t- shirt is not just another commodity item and why it's something that's valuable to them and their mission that they can stand by and believe in.

Here at Godlywoodgirl, the shirts that I create are all here to help you live your purpose. I'm here to remind you that Godlywoodgirl Rise! That you are a purpose-preneur, and that Romans 8: 28 says you are purposed, destined, and that you are chosen. That is the purpose of my shirts. They're not just a regular shirt for you to throw on. I want you to remember that you are purposed, chosen, destined, and that you can do the thing God purposed you to do when you put on a Godlywoodgirl shirt. That, is communicating a mission. It is showing that the t- shirts that I have solve a specific problem. So you want to get really, really clear on the problem that you solve with your t- shirt business. And you need to communicate that purpose to those who you want to buy your shirts. 

  1. Too Similar to the Competition

The fourth reason why people may not be buying your Christian t- shirts is that well, you are just too similar to the competition. Now there is nothing wrong with being inspired by other Christian brands online. And I see this all the time in the fashion industry. That's why you'll see like 15 different collections come out and they're all similar. This is because everybody's being inspired by everybody else. And there's nothing wrong with finding inspiration from other businesses because there's no new ideas. Let's be real here. There's really no new ideas. So everybody takes inspiration from everybody. However, there is a huge difference between inspiration and ripping somebody’s ideas off. A lot of the time, because it's so easy to launch a t- shirt business, people will see a brand take off and then say: “I can do that but you know my own version”, and literally cheat and take that person's designs and images and style and aesthetic, and put it on their own shirts and lower the price by $1. And then try to compete that way.

But here's the problem, sis, if you are a cheater brand and you're taking from somebody else, God can't bless that you're not operating in integrity, you're not operating ethically. And if we're Christian entrepreneurs, we ought to do the right thing, even when nobody's looking, do not cheat and take somebody else's designs and ideas, then you're just going to be just like the competition and there's no reason for you to stand out. You need to create your own identity online. It's okay to be inspired. But come up with your own ideas and your own designs. And if you're not a graphic designer, that's okay. There are so many websites available that will help you bring your ideas to life like fiverr.com, upwork.com, indeed.com and 99designs.com. You can communicate with your vision with its purpose with them, and they can show you designs that are original that you can now use for your own brand. Do not copy the competition, it's not going to allow you to grow.

  1. Too Expensive

The third reason why people may not be buying your Christian t- shirt Business Online is that well, your shirts are too expensive. Now, I completely understand. I used to price my shirts at like $55 it was crazy. And here's what I like to say this is like, let's say that you are used to going to McDonald's and getting a $5 Big Mac, right? You go on vacation, you're in a new city. You go into McDonald's and you go up to the register. You say: “can I please have a Big Mac”? And the lady behind the register says: “Sure, that'll be $50” and you almost choke and you say: “excuse me, what? I said a Big Mac”. And she says: “uh huh $50” are you going to take $50 out of your pocket and pay $50 for a $5 Big Mac? No, you're going to call her a scammer. You're going to call her reporting or walk out and go and find another McDonald's.

It's the same instincts people have when they are shopping online. If people are used to buying a certain type of item for a certain price and you try to overprice them, they instinctively think in their spirit, this is a rip-off, and they will walk away. That's why when you are launching a Christian t- shirt business, you always want to do product research and see what other people in your industry are charging for your type of shirts. Different niches charge different types of amounts. Okay? So you have to do your own product research for your own niche. In my niche, a lot of times the self- development shirts and things like that are usually $25 to $30. So if I come out here, which I did in the past, and try to charge $55 for shirt, which I tried in the past, people aren't going to look at that shirt and be like: “Nah sis, it is too expensive”. That is what happened to me. Once I learned about product research, I realized that if people are used to paying a certain amount of money for a certain type of item, I need to be priced competitively. Otherwise there were signals in that person's brain saying the same right now there's an exception to this if you are bundling your T shirt with something For example, you're offering your T shirt plus a digital e- book that shows you how to live your purpose. That's different and you can if you're doing a bundle item, then yes, you can price accordingly. I'm only talking about comparing apples to apples. If you are selling t shirts in a certain industry and other people are doing the same, people are used to paying a certain amount of money, make sure you're pricing your shirts accordingly.

  1. No Branding

The second reason why people may not be buying your Christian t- shirts is that your shirts are not branded sis. Now brand name is one of those things that a lot of new entrepreneurs think about last, really up top, when you start launching, you're just thinking about: “oh my gosh, I need to sign! I need to sell!! I need to sell”. Here's the problem, if you don't have a clear brand identity online, then it's really easy for you to be replaced and for people to go someplace else. Now what is a brand, right? A brand is just like the physical characteristics of a regular person. So if you're looking at me, and you've been watching my YouTube videos for a while, when you see my YouTube thumbnail on your timeline, you recognize the hair, glasses, you probably recognize the difference. Light my glasses. You recognize the Godlywoodgirl shirt, you know that I'm probably wearing black, white, pink or gray. I do not deviate from this image. You know why? Because you have grown to recognize that brand image.

So you are more likely to click that YouTube video because you recognize the branding. This is what you want to do with your Christian t- shirts sis. When somebody's searching for that shirt online and yours pops up among all the other search results. Your brand stands out so quickly that she instinctively clicks yours because she knows you likes you trust you and recognizes you amongst all the other search results. That's why Nike has such a powerful brand. I can put a Nike shirt with 15 other black shirts, you are always going to be able to pick up the Nike shirt because yep, they have their little logo. You want to create the same thing for your t- shirts online. You want to be recognizable from everybody else in the competition.

I remember there was one Christian t- shirt business curator who DM me on Instagram and was like: “Hey, can you take a look at my t- shirts and see what you think I'm doing wrong because nobody's really buying my stuff”. And I usually don't do this, but for some reason, I decided to click through and take a look at his collection. And he had shirts in every color under the sun, every font under the sun, every style under the sun. And I was like: “there's no way for you to create a brand personality because you have literally created every type of t- shirt imaginable. So there's no way for somebody to be able to recognize you online amongst all the other competition”. And I don't want the same for you. I want you to get a really, really clear brand identity for your t- shirt business so that people can recognize you amongst everybody else.

  1. No Marketing

And the biggest, most likely the number one reason why people are not buying your Christian t- shirt Business Online is you don’t tell them you have a Christian t- shirt. Now, marketing is putting the right message in front of the right person at the right time that they're looking for it. That's all marketing is, communicating to people who will want the problem that you solve in your business solves, you just tell them how to solve the problem. That's what marketing is. And the same thing happens with your t- shirt business. But a lot of times as Christian entrepreneurs, we avoid marketing like the plague. We don't like to tell people that we have a business we don't like to tell people about our products. We don't like to do marketing. We just like to create new products, which is great. And I understand as entrepreneurs, a lot of us are creatives and praise God, this is one of our spiritual gifts we're able to create and come up with ideas. However, remember with Genesis 3:16 - 18 says, because of sin it is by the sweat of our brow we shall eat. Now before sin happened, we could just reach up into that tree, get that fruit and eat. But now, because of sin, we have to get the seed, dig the hole, plant the seed, water the seed, and here is where Jesus does his part.

If he allows that seed to take root and grow into a plant and bear fruit, now we have to go back to that tree and harvest the fruit. The Lord is not going to take the fruit down and feed it into your mouth, okay? Because of sin, we have to give God something to bless. It is by the sweat of our brow that we shall eat. And in your business, you have to give God something to bless. To sell your t- shirt business online, you need to do marketing sis. You have to do marketing. Marketing is putting the right message in front of the right person at the right time that they're looking for it.  All Glory to Jesus, being a Christian entrepreneur in 2019 means you can do this for free. We've got Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and we've got Tick Tock coming up. There are so many different platforms to do marketing on that. Listen, I know you're going to want to avoid it. I know you're listening to me say this. I need to do marketing. Yes, you need to do marketing now. You ought to do marketing in order to sell your shirts in your t- shirt business. This there is no shortcut. There's no getting around it.

If you are a Christian entrepreneur you need to make marketing a priority in your business. And if you want to help doing this, make sure you get into the Godlywoodgirl School of Business, where I show you how to master marketing so you can tell people about your business.

ABOUT GODLYWOOD GIRL

Hey sis! It's your girl Stephanie Rodnez, founder & CEO of Godlywood Girl, and I want to welcome you to the Godlywood Girl sisterhood. If you're a woman who loves the Lord and wants to live His greatest purpose for your life as a Christian entrepreneur, then I created this website especially for you.

I started Godlywood Girl in 2013 as a way to help myself heal from the heartache and trauma of failing at my first business. You see, I was a filmmaker creating movies for Christian youth groups, but a series of bad decisions and mismanagement led to me almost having to declare bankruptcy on my first business.

For two years I sat in depression from the failure of that business, until one day, a video by Dr. ET Thomas inspired me to get back up and step into my purpose again. As a result, I got back to my God-given purpose as a Christian entrepreneur, and Godlywood Girl was born. My goal with Godlywood Girl is to connect you with the resources you need to achieve your greatest purpose for Christ as a Christian entrepreneur.

Whether you're just getting started on your journey, or you're a seasoned purposepreneur in the biz, I want to welcome you to the Godlywood Girl sisterhood. You are my sister, and I can't wait to connect with you online.

xox,

Stephanie (Godlywood Girl) Rodnez
