Discuss the fun task of marketing a t-shirt shop. Where to advertise, local marketing tips, word of mouth, press releases, search engine marketing, keyword advertising, magazines, etc.
Okay, I mentioned a while back about sponsoring my friend that's a comedian in order to gain some exposure. Well that has turned into a whole new business!
I have started an entertainment company that will be the major marketing arm for my clothing line.
I am starting with a comedy show in my hometown with national acts, and plan on doing it monthly. All of the comedians will be wearing custom gear from my line that I will provide.
It's been a long, hard road, but things are FINALLY about to take off (hopefully!).
If there are any T-shirtforums members in the area (I know there are a couple of you around) and would like to come to the show, just send me a PM and I'll get you taken care of.
Tickets will go on sale in a couple of days.
Any feedback, positive or negative, would be great!!!
Here's a pic of the "current" flyer (I've changed it 3 times today, already!)

Congrats are definitely in order, I'm excited for ya!
One question I have about the flyer - do you have any pics of your friend or one of the comedians in an article of your clothing that you can add to the flyer?
If so, put that picture square center where the 3 small pics of Damon are, enough to see your custom shirt. Just a suggestion.
My friend is the host "Just Will". I've got pics of him in my stuff, but I don't really want to stick it on the flyer. It's kind of a "you'll see it when you get there" thing.
We've already got some pretty good response on people coming to the show, so those that haven't seen my stuff will see it when they get there.
I think that's a nice expansion of your brand. I also like how your brand has meaning on its own (makes it easier to promote).
It sounds like a very cool way of marketing your line. I'm a big fan of comedy. It's right up there with t-shirts, music, movies, photography. If I was anywhere close to the show, I'd be there Maybe I can get a flight out there for my birthday.
