Influencer Pre-Sale Program — Launch a Clothing Drop Without Risk
You already have what most brands wish for — a real audience who trusts you. Now turn that trust into a clothing line that sells out. Our Influencer Pre-Sale Program helps you launch drops with zero inventory risk, 100% cotton quality, and local Los Angeles production.
Why the Pre-Sale Model Works
Pre-sale means you sell first and produce after. Your audience funds the drop, so you only make what’s already sold. No guesswork. No leftover boxes.
- Build hype with limited drops.
- See what your followers love before you spend.
- Run 3–4 drops a year instead of one big release.
- Get paid upfront — not months later.
How It Works — Your Pre-Sale Roadmap
This is where your influence becomes your brand. You bring the audience. We build the product.
- Pick your essentials — hoodies, tees, sweatpants, or sets. All 100% cotton, cut, sewn, and garment-dyed in Los Angeles. Not blanks — your own custom pieces. If you want the highest conversion + best AOV, sets are the move: Garment-Dyed Sets Manufacturer in Los Angeles & USA.
- Get your sample — one garment-dyed sample in your color, fit, and fabric (Pantone TCX target). Real, premium, and perfect to show your audience.
- Launch your pre-sale — post real photos, tell your story, and leverage your audience. You create the buzz; we handle production.
- Collect payments upfront — revenue comes first, production follows. No inventory, no waste, no stress.
- We make what sells — made-to-order in Los Angeles with full quality checks. Most drops finish in about 4–5 weeks once production starts.
- Plan your next drops early — hit key dates: Valentine’s Day, 4th of July, Halloween, Black Friday, Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day. Smart creators plan months ahead (for example: July drop in March; Halloween capsule in August) to keep momentum and profit all year.
Why Creators Choose Essentials Made
- 100% cotton essentials — hoodies, sweats, tees, garment-dyed to any Pantone TCX.
- Made in Los Angeles — pattern, sample, dye, and sew under one network.
- Simple MOQs — 300 pieces per style, or ~150 each when styles share the same fabric. For the full explanation (and how to plan it correctly), see our Minimum Order Quantities guide.
- Retail-ready finishing — labels, trims, and packaging that make your line feel premium from day one.
- Ethical & compliant — SB62-aligned Los Angeles production.
Collabs & Capsule Ideas
- Co-branded drops with cafés, gyms, or wellness studios.
- Limited editions tied to music, podcasts, or product launches.
- Pop-up collections for events or festivals.
- Lifestyle collabs with coffee shops, barbershops, or art collectives.
- Seasonal or charity-based releases that connect with your community.
This isn’t merch. It’s your brand — real, premium, and made in LA. And if you care about reorders (you should), it starts with consistent fabric sourcing — here’s how we structure it: Fabric Programs for Garment-Dyed Production.

FAQ — Influencer Pre-Sale Program in Los Angeles
An influencer pre-sale program is a structured model that allows creators to validate demand before investing in production. Your audience places orders first, providing the capital for manufacturing. Each piece is then made-to-order, eliminating overstock and financial risk.
Essentials Made manages the entire pre-sale cycle. You approve a custom, garment-dyed sample; promote it to your audience using authentic content; collect payments in advance; and we produce exactly what has been sold — locally, efficiently, and on-time.
We specialize in premium essentials — hoodies, sweatshirts, tees, and sweatpants — all crafted from 100% cotton and garment-dyed in any Pantone TCX shade. These categories align with current market demand and deliver the best balance between cost, comfort, and brand identity.
Our minimum is 300 units per style. However, when two or three styles share the same fabric, we can begin around 150 units per style. This structure keeps production efficient while maintaining professional-grade quality and consistency.
Development typically takes two weeks for sampling, followed by approximately four to five weeks of production once pre-orders close. Because all manufacturing occurs in Los Angeles, communication and delivery remain direct, transparent, and dependable.

Absolutely. While production is based in Los Angeles, our client base spans the U.S. and Canada. Remote collaboration is standard; prototypes and production samples can be shipped anywhere for approval.
Creators achieve the best results by aligning collections with high-engagement moments — Valentine’s Day, 4th of July, Halloween, Black Friday, Christmas, and St. Patrick’s Day. Planning drops several months in advance allows multiple capsule releases per year.
Because we combine boutique-level craftsmanship with a modern, digital-first approach. Our process is transparent, efficient, and designed for creators who treat their brand as a long-term business, not a one-off collaboration.
