D.O.B: 1st Feb 1989
The idea which came into your mind before starting this amazing adventure of tees :
Well I was sitting idle , was thinking how do people make pages on Facebook,. Straight away logged in Facebook and checked how to make page. As I learned how to make it, it asked me to name the page. Thought for a while what kind of page should I make, and then t-shirts came into my mind. I named it ‘Tailor your t-shirts’’ first, as I was completely going towards customizing. After like two weeks I changed the named to ‘’TOONEY TEEZ’’ as I wanted to make it a complete brand and launched Angry bird hoodies which were a mega hit allover Pakistan.
Were you doing this just for the sake of money:
At first was doing just for fun, but as I got positive response from people I took it seriously. Yes was doing it for money but only to cover my expenses.
Does any bit of it go to charity?
Yes around 10% of profit always goes to charity.
You are the owner of it? Or anyone else keeps the share too?
I am the one and only owner
You do custom orders:
yes TooneyTeez does custom orders , mostly depends on order quantity.
If anyone from outside Pakistan wants to order :
yes we have got services to deliver all over world. In fact we have shipped our products to Toronto, Austria and Dubai few times.
Did any customer at any point irritate you:
Well I don’t think they irritate or disturb, it’s there right to ask questions regarding the product some do ask a lot
of questions but as we say ‘’ customer is always right’’
Are you calm most of the times :
yes too calm
Moving on, in real life, do friends take you as the TEES' owner? Or they look at you as you were before introducing the tees?
Yes they call me TOONEY, ‘’ Tooneykesa’’ .
Does this job require hardwork?
Yes you have to give time, as you know online shopping is a new concept in Pakistan. One has to make customers learn how to order and how we deliver etc. So yes it takes a lot of nerves.
Can people post up their ideas too related to how tees can be?
Yes we are always open to ideas. In fact before launching any new design we do inbox designs to customers randomly and take suggestions.
Where can they really contact you?
Currently we are on facebook.com/tooneyteez, we have plans of launching website but you know Facebook is a new big thing making lives easier and will be taking replacement of World Wide Web in near future.
Where do you look at yourself in 5 years and then 10 years’ time frame?Outlets all over Pakistan
If you got a contract from abroad, would you go for it?
Yes obviously, why not.
What do you do besides doing this?Play cricket, watch cricket, movies, current affairs.
Should one be emotional or should one just chill
in the upcoming life?Depends on issues you are facing.
What do you say about Pakistans' current situation overall?Pakistan current situation is crystal clear, we only need electricity to solve our problems and move the wheels of industry,and you will see how quickly we become Asian Tigers. No comments on security issues.
Do you think Tees would make a business in Pakistan?
Yes, it is already
What do you have to say about Islotimes?
A creative idea to target Islooites , very self-sacrificing venture. I hope you guys move along to other cities.
