Discuss the fun task of marketing a t-shirt shop. Where to advertise, link building, word of mouth, press releases, search engine marketing, keyword advertising, magazines, etc.
hey frustone, those pics are great! They feel very real
Hello withinindustries,
Thanks and if it happens to you to take a look at frustone.com, please note that we thought our pics felt real, but not real enough, so we thought to set them in the streets, where we are, just asking real people that we were meeting to try one of our tees and have a random photoshoot.
In a month we came up with a new look. please tell us what you think of that.
your pics are great looking! just one note, I don't know if the readers of this post would agree. i think you have good cards to spend, a talent in graphic compositions and beatiful models and a good photographer with a nice studio.... so why don't you try to balance all this with some humour? I tell you this because otherwise I think you're going to achieve the same look you see on glamour or other magazines like that, and because you're a online store and not a mulltinational I guess you want to distinguish a bit yourself from those big guys... I think you have all the cards to set a witty funny contrasting look.... killer
kind going for the jonny cupcake/american apparel feel
Hi withinindustries,
I like your name and the sontaneity of the people you chose to do your photoshoot: one tip: once you organize your photoshooot, choose different backgrounds, you might even want to try outdoor (if real if what you want to achieve)... All these little differencies will be noticed from your viewers... and appreciated...
I really like the concept, styling and models here. the only thing that could be improved is that the lighting hitting the background is not even and their are wrinkles in the background
These are some of my first Tees for my maternity and breastfeeding on-line store. All the models are my friends and the pictures we taken in my conservatory. I really wanted to get over a funky, fresh , funny approach. Last picture makes me laugh because my friend Sheri looks really moody but she is like the nicest person ever.
Nice photos! I really like the theawardtour photo. We photo a lot of our print jobs. They're not done professionally. I take them with a Canon Digital Rebel XTI and then tweak exposure, colors, and such in photoshop.
I'd really like to start getting the photos done professionally but haven't looking into it yet. Is it pricey??

For T-shirt photo shoots I charge around $700 and that includes three pro models and a makeup/hair stylist. Im in hollywood so I have access to really great models.
If you do want to shoot it yourself, just use natural light, right at before sunset. If you can, hire some pro models. It is DEFINITELY worth it, because a pro model will know how to "turn it on" in front of the camera and not have the deer in headlights look.
Sure if you stick your t-shirt on a random hot girl, people will probably look at the pic. But if you really want to create a BRAND then you are selling more than just one shirt--you're selling an emotion, a feeling, a style. And once you have a brand, you will make more money in the long run.
That said the best models for this type of thing, specialize in "lifestyle modeling" and getting just a swimsuit model or something won't give you as good results because they are used to trying to make their body look hot for the camera and they usually forget that, "No, it's not about you, it's about the shirt" Lifestyle models understand the concept of selling an emotion and a product.
Sorry about the long reply, but I hope this helps out some of you guys, coming from a photographer's/outsider's point of view.
