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.
Thanks for your posts. I'm really trying to get someone to help get my line into stores. We're already in a few, but obviously the more the better. Thanks a lot guys!
Try to do a search for "apparel sales representatives" by state. Sometimes you can find reps listed on competitors sites. I believe there is even a book you can purchase to get a list of apparel-specific reps by state. Put a huge list of contacts together, start calling and ask if they are taking on new clients. Some may reject you because they have a similar brand they are selling, but most should be receptive to taking on new lines.
You may also want to consider raising commisions from the standard 10% to 12-14% to give a bit more eccentive.

You could try rephunter. Also, if you search the forums for sales rep, you'll find some great older posts that talk about finding a sales rep.
