That's generally something you need to come up with on your own.

If you can't write it yourself, then you may want to outsource the "copy writing" (not to be confused with copyright) to someone that specializes in that type thing.

You can find places that will write text for you in Google or on freelance websites like guru.com, elance.com, odesk.com, etc.

Here's an article that should get you going in the right direction: creativematch: How to write good copy – and to know it when you see it

Thanks,

Norm

I agree with Rodney on this one. I'm in the same boat as you. I can do my own writting, but I always have a Friend ( who was a english major) and my cousin ( who is a proof read for the US Govt.) read over my work and make in corrections I may need. Plus they will make it sound nicer than I can. But, I'd have to say, I still have to put my own ideas on paper first. You should be able to write what you are doing down. Just act like you are telling someone or better yet, talk into a recorder and then write it down after you finish or pass the recorder along for someone else to write it for you.

hey thats a good idea, thanks i will use that

e_kalman · January 17th, 2008

if you decide to write it yourself, just be honest and true to the brand. you should use strong and powerful adjectives. You should say not just how your company came together, but why. by explaing why, you show how you are special and different from anyone else who sells t-shirts. It really shows what you stand for, and that is extremly important in brand identity. trust me on this one, I do a lot of writing like this. if you need some help with editing it to make it stronger PM me, and I'll be more than happy to lend a hand.

It is always good to make contacts in the industry.

one more thing keep in mind the importance of wording, take your time.

wording plays a major part in marketing. It doesnt matter how good of a designer you are, or how talented you are, or how amazing you designs are, it all boils down to how good you can market your t-shirts.

you can sell the ugliest designs in the world, if you market it properly people will buy it, and you can charge whatever you choose.

ask yourself "what is the difference between some "Joe" selling an AA design for 20 bucks and Quicksilver selling it for 60?"

it is all about ow you word your information.

sorry to make it look like it is the most important thing in the world, and put pressure on you.

I am just passionate.
