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.
First post and I don't know if I'm in the right forum. But I was wondering if I give free stickers to customers, would I be held responsible, like getting in trouble for them being put on private property. example street signs and buildings because they have my name/logo on them thanks.
Unless you're telling them to put them there, you can't be held liable for what they do with their property, which is what it will be when you give it to them!
Now, can a local municipality try to come after you for it. Yes they can.
I know .. if someone put stickers on my building or windows of my shop.. i would persue the city going after what ever company.. the stickers were from..
There is alot of defacing of others property that goes on.. matter of fact my city has a crew that only job is to repaint where graffitti has been put and take down and clean up after sticker attacks and yes they do go after people
Now im more talking about loads and loads of stickers being put places.. not just one ..
The odds of a ''paid employee'' who is putting up stickers, getting caught by someone of authority is pretty slim, but if it did happen and they tell them that they work for you, then yes you can be held liable. Probably something along the lines of defacing public property. You would most likely get a fine of some sorts. You just have the weigh the risk vs. rewards of it. Personally, I wouldn't do it. Not because of getting a fine, but because I wouldn't feel right paying someone to break the law. I know it's not up there with murder or armed robbery, but I wouldn't want it done to my property, so why do it to someone else's. Even if it is so-called ''public property''.
Along those lines though, I think giving out stickers with on-line shirt orders is a great idea. We give out a goody-bag with each order. It includes a pre-printed thank you note ,2 business cards (one to keep, one to give away), a ''Vanguard'' sticker, a removable tattoo of our VA logo, a few random baseball cards and 3 jolly ranchers. Total cost - 20 cents. We often have people who call us just to thank us for the goody-bag and once you get happy customers on the phone, you can always sell them more stuff. It works everytime.
I use my stickers for tagging my garments.
One hole punch, a few inches of twine and a tiny safety pin.
we get quite a few comments on the tags and the kids love 'em cause they are stickers. Good advertising.
On them is Co. Logo, website, etc...
We designed our business card in a vertical layout so we could punch a hole in it and use it as a garment tag. It really looks like a tag and gives a professional look. We attach it with a standard garment gun.
I like your idea of the sticker, though. Anything like that shows you are there for the customer. Not just the other way around. Good job!
So, if we hire people to paste the stickers in toilets etc., will we also get into trouble?
Because that's what I'm planning to do soon.
I dont think this is a good idea! You are going onto private property to put your stickers on someone elses walls. Not cool!! Do you really want to be known as the company that doesnt have any respect for public or private property?
Unless they are some sort of sticky note, that can be pulled off easily I wouldnt do it.
I'm taking a guess that Xeon was kidding... but that's just me...
Once, I had a Black Grand Am and I purposely did not put bumper stickers on it because I knew one day I would sell it... (I love bumper stickers!) I planned to sell it in June and wouldn't you know, I came out of the grocery store in May to find someone put a round "Limp Bizkit" sticker the size of a saucer on my Passenger side window, and it was the hardest sticker I ever tried to remove in my whole life, I think it was on there with cement...
I was very disappointed in whoever did that, and steamed I had not put stickers on for 8 years, only to have someone else take the honors for me...
It didn't occur to me to go to Limp Bizkit, or the town, with my complaint... I didn't realize folks would/could go to the town... interesting thought...
I do have a question tho: How could you prove you didn't do it (to get your name visible), and that a customer did? When did things get this complicated? Lol...
rof.. Ive never bought anything from urinal advertising either.. .. laffin
I guess becuse im a business owner that has to deal with this type of stuff all the time.. Its one of my pet peeves..
We actually have had people scratch words etc into our front windows..
