ok so my site officially goes live this week, i was wondering what is the 1st official step of marketing you did to put your site out there?

thanks

First step might be to have some strangers look over the site to give feedback and catch any details you might have missed when looking at the site every day during development

You don't want to start sending traffic to a site that isn't ready to engage visitors properly.

Without knowing some general details about the site (printing services, clothing line, manufacturer), it's hard to give specific details about your "first step".

One thing you can do in any niche is: figure out who your customers are and find the most appropriate ways to get your products in front of them.

That could mean you advertise on a blog, in a newsletter, submit a press release, etc.

What do you already have in your marketing plan for your business? That way we can suggest things that you haven't already thought of.

nooo my colours have gone

thanks, i plan to put my site up here for review, i'm just having some minor tweaks done to it, i wouldnt call it a clothing line, more of a snorg/busted tees sort of UK set up

i plan to do the regular stuff, seo, ppc etc, but im not sure what my first first step should be, i'd say its aimed at 16-30 year olds mostly

thanks

The first step I would suggest is to contact all the t-shirt blogs.

im from uk so tshirt blogs arent as popular here, but to be honest i have to say i never fully understood the whole tshirt blog concept, how are they a good form of marketing?

They are free and they connect you with people that buy t-shirts on the internet. It doesn't matter where you are if you ship internationally.

A spot on uncrate will land you around 3,000 hits and a lot of sales.
