Customer Profile

Our customer profile has a very wide range. We can have so many customers from different ages and different styles. Our customer’s age starts from 17 to 32. We have both man and women t-shirts. Because of they are all white we do not make a classification between ccustomers who like specific colors. It is also an opportunity for us that every people can wear a white t-shirt. Wearing a white t-shirt does not make person to have any specific style. It is a very specific garment which everyone can have and must have. That is why we have a very changable customer profile. Chic, rock, punk, classic, gothic, elegant styles can all be suitable to our customer profile because it depends to the print design on our products. However our most important customers are chic customers who follow celebrities and change what they wear according to fashion.(Because our prints are also changing according to seasons and important social events.)
The most common property of our customers is comfort. They want to be comfortable in their daily lives but also fashionable and chic. Even if they wear designer clothes they mix this style with their WHIT-SHIRT&CO’s. Economic status of the customer is middle-upper and upper class. For a white t-shirt group as a company we know that ot customer can afford the prices between 25-45 £. Unfortunatelly when we sell our products in different countries our prices rise according to the change of money but this does not effect our sales.
Lastly we have big amount of university students as customers. Especially from design departments we have so many creative customer profiles. They know how to design and they draw their own prints. As a result we can say creative educated fashionable comfortable customer profile is our company’s aim.

Why we are niche?

Firstly all t-shirt companies are generally working from the Internet. Hovewer we have both internet and concept stores all around the world.Celebrities are also like our tshirts very much. Secondly there is just one company in London which produces just t-shirts. On the other hand in the countries that we sell our products, especially in Asia, t-shirts are not coming from a specific company which has its own concept and style. So many textile companies are producing but ours is the one that makes our customer feel special because of wearing a special brand and conceptual t-shirt.As a fabric style our competitors does not use organic cotton.
