Wholesale Ladies & Kids Shirts and Apparel
Ladies-Kids-Toddlers Tees-Polo's & Apparel
Buy ladies fleece/outerwear, polo shirts, tanks/sleeveless and Tee Shirts at wholesale prices.
Capwholesalers now carries ladies tee shirts, ladies polo shirts and ladies tanks; we are not just caps, as our name suggests. T-shirts are a good choice for giveaways and promotional items; having a logo screen printed on a tee shirt is much more economical than having a logo embroidered on a polo shirt. For a nicer giveaway or corporate event, a ladies polo shirt with an embroidered logo is a nice choice. Advertising with embroidered or screen printed shirts is a great way to get your name out there and promote your company.
You can type into our search box, "ladies t-shirts" to pull up all the tee shirts we have available for woman. A few of the brand tee shirts we carry are Gildan, Hanes T-Shirts, Jerzees T-Shirts, Fruit of the Loom T-Shirts, Comfort Colors T-Shirts, and American Apparel.
To find our ladies polo shirts, type in the search box "ladies polo shirts" to view our stock. A few of the more popular brand polo shirts are Devon & Jones, North End, Harriton, Gildan, Jerzees and Holloway. If you don't see what you are looking for, please call us at 877-984-2277. We might have the polo shirt you need; it might not yet be on our website.

The Importance of a Unique web-page-address
IMPORTANT: The web-page-address is used to navigate to pages on the website. Each category and item web-page-address needs to be unique, or the link will not work correctly.
99.99% of the time, when a link doesn't work, or goes to the wrong page, it's because the web-page-address is set up incorrectly. Avoid navigation errors by learning how to set a unique web-page-address.
Site Organization: Categories and Items/Products
Generally, categories are used as a container for items/products. Each item/product is added to the appropriate category. If a category has lots of items, you may want to add subcategories, then add the items/products to the appropriate subcategory.
Before you start adding content to your Site Manager, take a few minutes to think about how you want to organize your site.
The category and item/product structure will look something like this:
- Category 1
- Item/Product 1
- Item/Product 2
- Item/Product 3
- Category 2
- Subcategory 1
- Item/Product 1
- Item/Product 2
- Item/Product 3
- Subcategory 2
- Item/Product 1
- Item/Product 2
- Item/Product 3
- Subcategory 1
NOTE: Don't over-categorize. The more subcategories, the more clicks it takes for the site visitor to access the information he or she is looking for.
Managing Your Main Categories
Your MightyMerchant website includes a number of preset main categories that include features and layouts based on the type of content. Each category or item/product will includes fields used for its functionality and layout.
For most categories, you will add your content as items in the category. For others, you will only edit categories.
