Default Re: How Long Did It Take Your First Batch Of Designs To Pick Up Sales?

Honestly we haven't done much. We started our business while both of us were still in college and didn't have the time or the money to do much advertising. We relied mostly on word of mouth, flyers, myspace, and facebook to promote our stuff. We both just graduated so we are going to really start hitting up the free posts online (bulletin boards, forums, myspace, etc). We are going to try to get booths in different fairs and community festivals, help with fundraisers, and possibly do a raffle of some sort.

We have a VERY limited budget and don't want to borrow a lot of money so we are not able to print many of our designs, so we are trying to find ways to earn money without spending a lot of money. We do other design work outside of t-shirts (web design, logos, brochures, etc) so we are hoping to really build up that part of the business to gain some income so we can start really working the T-shirt side of the business.

What route(s) are you planning on taking with your website and how are you going to promote it?
