my favourite company t-shirt I own is from this place : http://www.samtherecordman.com/content.xml?cid=about_sams

Not only this Icon sells music from a street retail store they sell a few t-shirts too.... can you imagine having your t-shirt designs next to the top selling music rack...

does anyone here sell their shirts in clubs, surf shops etc... ? i think maybe we are all into the web sales too much and ignoring the sales potential of local " Companies "..., better yet, some companies own other companies and your designs may end up in a bunch of retail stores... may be i'm dreaming a little.

any thoughts on that ?

Yup, sometimes we should change our usual mind. i appreciate your advice, and thinking of maybe we could sell our garments into our local market, i think our designs and price will be attractive.

yeah, that makes sense.
Why not take it to the " Companies ", there is probably less competition in your local market then on the web.

Does that make sense ?

There's a lot of dicussion here about getting your product into stores, shops, etc. It's not all just web stuff

Tradeshows can help with that, pounding the pavement can help with that as well. There's some good information here about getting your t-shirts in shops.

I agree with everyone those are great ideas. Even the local paper advertisement section wil allow at least word of mouth which we all know spreads like germs.

yeah, cheap too .... and thats the best part.

word of mouth is best and thats what keeps you in business.

Beware of lipservice tho, that spreads like wild fire. Not good for business.
