honestly i would go to one or more of my friends who are well fashion oriented and give them a promo.so others would look at it as they walk around wearing it.

It can work, but there will be a very low success rate. If you do it, make sure the flyers are interesting and worth looking at - and that it's legal in your area. Good Luck!

That will be a good idea. I was captain of the football and baseball team my senior year in highschool, and know the coaches very well. We were all very close no less than 2 years ago. Im sure they would help me out a bit with sales.

Also, you might want to print up some of your shirts and wear one yourself almost every place you go (not probably church, a wedding or a funeral). If some of your friends will do the same thing, have them do it too. On the back I would print something like "Like this Tee Shirt? Exclusively available at teeshirt.com
That way you have walking billboards. You might also get some bumper stickers printed up (they are really cheap). Make as large as possible and with as large letters as possible. Put them on everyone's car that will let you. Also, when you sell tee shirts, include several stickers in the package. (As well as business cards of course).
I would definitely recommend that you also purchase any of the guerilla marketing books and see if they don't stimulate more ideas.

Re: is posting flyers a corny way of advertising a screen printing business?
It really depends on the area, the mix of people, how you word the flyer. I've had people report good luck with bulleting boards in grocery stores, laundramats, etc. Some use the little tear-off gimmick which turn out to be little business cards printed on plain paper.
How you word it, whether you give a "discount", etc. all paly a part in the returns, but don't worry about corny, worry about sales versus cost and time to distribute.
Re: is posting flyers a corny way of advertising a screen printing business?
dud just go all out and post the flyers any where u can and get stickers and post them every where u go. It may be risky but u have to take chances in order to succeed. Its like if u go to 100 women and ask them if they want to have sex with you, some will slap you or tell their bf to kick your *** but 10 or so out of those 100 women will want to have sex so you. see where im going with this
Re: is posting flyers a corny way of advertising a screen printing business?
you just cant post them everywere. you have to pick good spots. would you rather buy something from a flier posted on a bathroom stall or a flyier giving to you by hand.
good places to hand them out at is at schools. coaches order thousands of dollars in apperal. also you could go to the head of the boosters. they also order thousands of dallors in apperal. companies that hold lots of onventions are also good people to hand fliers out to. thats just acouple good places at a school. you can find good places that will have a higher return rate than just posting them everywere.
