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.
Hi everyone --
In previous threads, I have read about websites on where a company can post/register their t-shirts. I do not remember what these 2 sites are that everyone refers to...can someone help me out?
Also, if anyone has any good ideas for targeting college kids (young adults) can you please let me know. I want to go to forums for teenagers, but my searching capabilities are not the best. I never seem to find exactly what I need.
Also, if someone has good ideas about international forums that would be great too. ( I know I am asking for a lot today )

Have you ever heard of Myspace? It's a very popular site for teens/college age people. Search the forums for "myspace" to get some marketing tips for that site, there have been a few threads on that topic.
Yes, thanks -- I have a "myspace" URL -- I am not sure what the best way to approach it is though. Do you know of any members here that have a cool (effective) "myspace" URL. I would love to see it to get ideas.
friendster is for suckers. no offense if you're still on there, but essentially everyone has stopped using it or caring about it.
myspace is a mixed bag because most people aren't on there to buy things, but it can help you out. I'd say overall doing MySpace is worth it; I have networked with some cool people and gotten some more hits from it.
I'd also suggest submitting to t-shirt blogs, depending on your audience. just look up "t-shirt blog" in google and you'll find a number of them. contact the authors of ones who seem to be into your style of shirt.
good luck!

Thanks! Good info...
I think I am on track with what people have been saying -- I thought the whole blogging thing would be easier though?? Do you hav any good tips -- like is there a search engine that rates blogs (I've tried this but never seem to find exactly what I want).
Got any tricks of the trade on "blogging?"
facebook is all college kids, and somewhere on here (cant find it) Someone said you can advertise to a specific 1000 people for a price on Facebook. Similar to sending someone a message on myspace, is what i was told.
Yes, thanks -- the cost is like $5 per 2500 people or something like that -- it's really cheap! I am going to try it and let everyone know how it goes....
Marketing Help!
