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.
My original goal was to use models but they would take the focus off of the product. For these I used an Epson digital Camera and Corel to get the design and the message up close and in your face. Printed with inkJet Technology.
rangy those shirts are a riot! nice job. Mike i like your shirts display as well, but i would reccommend relabling because the label also gets a bit of attention and if i notice the brand you are using this may influence my purchase.
Just to add to my philosophy of showing the shirts not the models. I was looking at some high end fashion garment websites and noticed that almost all of them use my approach, sites like guess, abercrombie, diesel?, armanii, nicolemiller. American apparel on the other hand shows the models in many cases.

Thanks for that advise Sharp. I have the design for the label finished and I am placing the order for them soon.
really nice pictures, norm. what kind of camera are you using?
i just recently completed all the photography for our new catalog. it's the most product photography i've ever done. i was really please with the results. a little PS work, and voila, i'm almost a pro.
here's a few before and after PS. taken with my trusty rebel xt
Funny...I work for a printing/compression company in TX. I was just referring to your catalog while redesigning ours if I'm not mistaken.
Yea i knw you can't see the tee all the way ...but i took this pic in my living room i think its fire!! Plus where i'm hosted i have 5 different views of the shirt...we try to show how different people would wear the same tee
Thats just one image I wont post them all because they are large.
Heres a link to the full photoshoot.

This a great overall picture. It doesn't show off each design very well, but I don't think it was meant to do that. This picture definitely makes me want to look further into it.
Which brings me to my next question, is it important to get hot looking models to pose wearing the t's, or get more comely looking one, like american apparel does?
