Hi folks, I'm the co-founder of Ramp. I'll be on-hand all day to answer any questions. The two main pain points we're addressing are: 1 - Time - our research shows it takes an average of 4 days, and 8 emails/phonecalls, to get a quote and your t-shirt order agreed. Ramp allows you to do that in 2 mins. 2 - Sizing - people never know what sizes to buy - we operate a few other merch/swag sites, so collect data that allows us to suggest what you should buy. More data tools coming soon (size and colour differences by event or startup type, or music genre, for example). - if you know exaclty who you're buying for, but it's a pain in the butt to go collect all the sizes, we're about to launch a tool that will do that for you! Oh, and we're offering all Product Hunters 10% off, as you'll see on the site. Let me know what you think, Neil

@neilcocker other than ease of ordering... how else do you differ (understood that is a massive part of it haha). Are there other things other than T-shirts available or in the pipeline (hoodies)? Awesome to see someone from the Startup Community in Cardiff :)

@bentossell Hey Ben! Yes, ease of getting your price, sizing then checkout, saving yourself days of back and forth, is the main thing we're focused on nailing. But we can do pretty much do any printed garment right now (email me on neil@ramp.fm for a specific quote), and hoodies will pretty much be the next thing available. After that, it's whatever people want from us: stickers, notepads, pens.... I think the best people in this space right now are the likes of Teespring, who are awesome! Theirs is a campaign model, primarily. Whereas ours is all about making it very quick and easy for a central purchaser.

@neilcocker Oi, you said you were avoiding the email process to get a quote 😉

@bentossell Hahah! Yes! We do that now for t-shirts. And soon will be able to do it for everything. ;-)

@neilcocker cool. Do you hold inventory or use drop shipping? What brands of t-shirts do you use for each different quality? Where is the printing done?

Nice work, love the UX and the research you did... but, hey! that's very expansive T-shirts...

@itsikalfon Hey @itsikalfon - thanks for that! We offer three different budgets of t-shirts, but I'd genuinely be interested to know where you can get the same quality shirts for much cheaper? Always happy to see if we can improve on our pricing!

@itsikalfon Actually it's cheap :) 100 t-shirts for ~500 GBP is okay (+ free delivery)

@bogomep @itsikalfon Hahah, thanks @Bogomep! I suppose it depends where you are, and what quality you purchase. Plus, as you notice, we're free shipping to UK, EU and USA!

@bogomep @neilcocker Hey :), i'm from israel and local printed t-shirt will cost 7-9 GBP, but i think you right, it's all about the quality...

@itsikalfon @bogomep Cool! Israel is one of our next places that we want to provide shirts to, as there's such a great startup scene there. 100 x one-colour printed t-shirts through us are £3 / £4 / £8 each, depending on which quality you choose. So I think we're pretty cheap in comparison! :-) Don't forget that the number of colours in your logo will affect the price reaosnably significantly.

Looks good. The quoting system bit intrigues me. How quick is it and what are you doing there to differentiate?

@thedimmick Hi Steve! Thanks for asking. We believe it to be the fastest t-shirt quoting system in the world! In short, pricing up a bulk order of t-shirts is pretty complicated. There are screens, inks, different types of t-shirt (or whatever) all to be considered. You'll notice that it's almost impossible to get a quote online anywhere, and those that do provide online quotes make you jump through so many hoops to get it that you're exhausted by the options! We worked really hard to distill it to its essence, so that we could give people a clear, transparent quote, in a matter of seconds.

@neilcocker Neat. So, where / what next and why / how for you guys?

@thedimmick Thanks! What next? - more products. We've started with t-shirts because it's the main thing that people want first. There's plenty more stuff on the horizon, though. - more data tools. This is the stuff that gets us really excited. We've got some great data, and we're dreaming of a world where everyone totally maximises their sales, or minimises their wastage, through getting *exactly* what they need. We're currently in the final stages of a startup accelerator, so we'll be thinking about potential investment very soon, in order to grow this thing! ;-)
