Default Re: What do you believe is the best form of marketing for your tshirt shop

word of mouth, web & the yellow pages. I have found that all other forms of advertising doesn't return what it should if any. Pretty much advertising needs to be in the face of the audience on a repeated basis in order to work properly. If you only place an add here and there your likelihood of getting lots of hits is very thin. Unless the person looking at the add or hearing it is looking for shirts at that time they will most likely forget about the add when they are looking for shirts.

We have a larger size add in the yellow pages and get many calls. Our website gets on around 5-20 quote requests on average per week. I have pushed my site as much as possible over the many years on free sites, etc. It has helped quite a bit. I also use FLUID in everything I do online as people over the years have become to associate FLUID with my business and art.
