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

@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.

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

@bentossell Hey Ben - we have print facilities in the UK and USA at the moment, with more coming online very shortly. We are really pleased to be able to offer free shipping throughout the UK, EU and USA at the moment, and would love to be able to roll that out worldwide. So the price you see on the first page is the price you pay. No hidden charges! We use 3 different brands, suiting every budget. From my recent time in the States I know that our Premium option, the American Apparel 50/50's are huge favourites with the US startup community. I can see why, as they're a really lovely fit, and super soft. I've long been a fan of our Standard shirt, the Softstyle, though. It's pretty much the same fit as the American Apparel, but 100% cotton.

@bentossell p.s. I didn't answer your question about inventory etc. We hold some blanks, but order them in as we need if we don't have them in stock, and then they get lovingly printed on by the print teams before being shipped to the customer.

@neilcocker Looks great! Are the shirts screened or is it transfer print? And are there any other products on the cards?

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! ;-)

I've spent far too much of my life ordering t-shirts, so this sounds very useful. One thing we always find difficult is visualising the quality of the t-shirts (need close ups showing the texture, grain and cut of the fabric). Any help you can offer here?

@paddystobbs That's something we're working really hard on at the moment. We've tried to code a a bunch of tech to make that clear, but in terms of social proof, our current thinking is that nothing ever beats real people, in real photos, wearing real tshirts! If you can see someone who is of a similar build/height to you, in exactly the shirt type and fabric that you want to purchase, you're probably much more likely to order. Check out our photos on our Twitter page - @ramptshirts - for a sneak peek!

@neilcocker This looks awesome, good job! The data side of this intrigues me. What kind of data insights can we expect in the future and in what ways will that benefit your customers?

@joetannorella Thanks Joe! Firstly we're going to be providing size distributions by country. It'll come as no surprise to you that the average sales we make through our other sites show a large difference between, say, USA and Japan. So, if you were to be going to a conference in Japan, that insight would help you get the right sizing. Or if you were a band going on tour of Japan, and you wanted to maximise your merch sales. It starts to get really interesting when you look at a couple of variables. I can;t say too much about how we do this right now, but imagine you're a jazz band from the UK, going on tour of Australia, and you could afford to only take 100 t-shirts with you. If we could give you automated guidance on the preferences in sizes, colours, and styles that the typical jazz audience has, that would be incredibly useful! Thanks for the question. The speed and transparency bit is really important to us, but the data bit is the cool, exciting stuff!

Hey Neil. Great product! My problem is thinking ahead of a conference/expo and trying to order these sort of things last minute is a nightmare. How quickly could you turn around an order of 100 shirts lets say from click to door?

@mil5om Hey Benjamin! Yeah, we've had a lot of people tell us that t-shirts is always a last minute thing for them. We save on average 4 or 5 days of back and forth with a printer, which is the usual process. Our print times are about 5-10 working days, but there are always ways in which we can speed things up for urgent orders. Just let us know!

Hi Neil - are you open to the possibility of making this an "open API" for affiliates and such? Either way, excellent product, very well done.

@patrickcoombe Hi Patrick - as it happens, it runs off our own internal API, so that's very much a possibility. We have an open API for our existing services, so could fairly easily implement this. Drop me a line on neil@ramp.fm if you'd like to chat. :-)
