Default Where next????

We just started a t-shirt business using some original artwork and had it silk screened onto shirts. So far we have been using the internet to our advantage but it isn't going the way we had expected. At the moment our theme is mostly motorcycles and we have spent alot of time contacting and e-mailing pictures of our shirts to shops across the United States. Given we have invested a great deal of money in these shirts, and I have the stock to prove it, would anyone be able to suggest any other avenues that we should look into with little or no money? Just want to get our product out there anyway I can. Thanks for any advice or suggestions you may have to offer.

Well perhaps it'd be best if you start locally. Instead of emailing people, go into a retail location, speak to a real person. Get the tees into their hands. You and your product both make a better impression that way. Also perhaps there are issues with your site that are not turning into sales. This community provides pretty good reviews if you're interested. No other advice. Marketing is trial and error, something working for X may not produce for Y. Goodluck!

You could try contacting retail shops, or you could invest your money in advertising (magazines, banner ads, etc...) If your designs are good, you just need to get people to your site.
