Tell us about your upstart business:
Ministry Monkey is a custom apparel company geared towards churches and ministries. We are the ministry division of My T-shirt Guys. There is also Coed Monkey, which is focused on colleges, and student groups. Coed Monkey has been in business for 5 years. Ministry Monkey was started as a response to a need for fun, helpful, and easy to work with custom printers in the church and ministry arena. We tithe 10% of our profits back to ministries and churches because we feel strongly about giving back to organizations that are doing good.
How are you funding your Upstart?:
Personal Savings
Upstart launch budget?:
We are piggybacking off Coedmonkey, so its pretty cheap
What do you feel is your biggest challenge?:
I think our biggest challenge will be to get the word out, that ministries have an advocate, who wants to provide great service and great products.
What do you see in the future for your upstart?:
This could be big! We have whiteboards full of fun, and cool ideas on how to grow, and other ways to get involved, and give back while doing it. We are always willing to hear other peoples ideas too!
How has the current economy affected your upstart?:
Seeing as people still wear shirts, it hasn’t hurt too much, but we are finding we need to rely on our strong relationships with clients, who are dedicated to us; as we are to them.
