Who buys in Athi River and what sells with caps

Planning your caps order for Athi River
A caps order for Athi River should be planned backwards from the selling season. Two rainy seasons and a mild climate allow year-round sales, with hoodies and jackets in cooler months. Demand peaks at back-to-school in January, May and August, plus Easter, Christmas and wedding seasons. For caps specifically, caps sell strongly in summer, at sports events and in promotional campaigns; winter beanies are ordered by July for the northern autumn. Our lead time is 25–40 days, plus sea transit of about 12–22 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of caps in Athi River include promotional-merchandise companies, sports and event organisers, school and uniform suppliers and retail chains and wholesalers. In Athi River, they usually order 1,000–3,000 pieces per design; 500 pieces for stock colours with simple embroidery and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Athi River
Athi River is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of caps towards the lighter end of the range: Cotton twill 240–280 GSM or polyester micro-twill and mesh. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.
Sizes: Adjustable with strap, snap or buckle closures; fitted sizes S–XL; kids' sizes. Colours: Over 30 stock colours; contrast peaks, panels and under-peak colours.
