Discuss the fun task of marketing a t-shirt shop. Where to advertise, local marketing tips, word of mouth, press releases, search engine marketing, keyword advertising, magazines, etc.
does anyone know of any other marketplace websites similar to Etsy? i'm also interested in t-shirt promotion sites/blogs that promote t-shirts. any info would be appreciated. thanks.
Ive never used etsy so Im a lil bias towards Bigcartel, i would def. check them out and look at the upgraded plans, 10 or 20 bucks a month and nothing else no listing fees or commisions.

Yeah Etsy is not the answer, its not really for the start up company. Make sure to find a company that does not charge anything for you to list images.
artfire.com is offering a $7.00 a month flat rate for life right now (you can cancel at anytime) for the next 1500ish people who sign up. I made my first sale on the third day after signing up.

Artfire seemed pretty cool, and its not very saturated right now, so if you get your items up soon you should get great exposure. I looked at the hoodies section under clothing and only 15 listed items. @2dye4 $7 a month is a steal nice link

yeah, I agree. it's good for people that are genuinely selling arts/crafts stuff but selling your own tees probably isn't a good idea. plus, after going through pages and pages of t-shirts that looked pretty crappy I decided I didn't want my stuff getting buried under a mountain of other stuff. think i'll stick with big cartel
other marketplace sites like Etsy
