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.
I am just in the launching stages of my t-shirt business, which is geared toward college kids. My company will strictly be online. Can anyone offer any good tips for marketing quickly and getting my business noticed on the internet.

No problem at all There is a lot of great information here to digest. Sometime it helps just to know what to search for or where to look.
For example, if you use our search tags page, it will show you some of the popular topic keywords that are used here. Each keyword takes you to dozens of topics on that keyword. Like marketing or articles or even start
Our regular search page can help you find very specific things like international shipping or USPS packaging.
If you don't find your answers in a search, feel free to post your question and we'll be happy to help
Just like Rodney, always helping! I want to be Rodney when I grow up!
Well then we have something in common, I want to be you when I grow up The only problem is, I'm a year older, looks like I need to go back in time and learn some of the stuff you did.
hey Melinda,
Why not try putting an ad at facebook.com. It's basically where most college kids post their photo and info, as well as seeing who's who at each campus. They Have a promo called facebook flyers which you can target selected campuses and such. It cost only $5 per 2500 students!! It basically generates an electronic picture ad of your product or service to them. A great price for a targeted effect.
That is awesome! Love the idea....As a matter of fact, I just created a facebook last night and a myspace URL. I didn't know about the flyers at facebook though! YOu rock and have made my day! That is exactly the kind of marketing I need -- perfect. Let me know if I can come up with any ideas for you...

Now that's funny!
I just wish I had learned it a lot sooner. But, better late than never, right?
I guess it's a good thing you created the forums. At least we can share!
Marketing help!
