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 have just started a Christian t-shirt line. My website is working, and I have begun to utilize word of mouth marketing, however I am looking for some tips or advice from individuals who are also marketing to this same group. I would also like to see what the monthly sales range is within the Christian sector of the market. Thanks in advance for any help
Work it. Work it. Work it. It will take a while, but it is all about word of mouth and building a foundation up. Try some marketing tactics, like seeing if you can put some shirts in the local book store(s). At church. Hand out fliers at concerts. maybe if there is a local festival or church outing, you could give away some free ones.

I have found that the Christian tees I sell at all the local events I go to have been the best sellers. I have had several people come to events just because they knew I'd be there and have some Christian tees. There is not very many places to buy shirts of this kind except in Springfield MO. which is 1 hour from where we live and operate our home based business.
Of course we do live in the Bible Belt so that helps.
Also helps that I'm an ordained Freewill Baptist Minister.....
Word of mouth will help you alot. Also like prometheus said, work it.
