I have been fortunate enough to find an excellent marketing avenue for my clothing line!
In my regular day job, I have found out that one of my co-workers is a comedian. Because he works in a different department, I never knew this and he never knew about my clothing line.
He happened to see some of my shirts on my desk and wanted to know what they were. He loved them and said that he would love to wear them on stage while doing his act.
Come to find out that he is pretty well-known in comedy circles and knows a lot of the bigger names in stand up.
The best part is that he WANTS to wear my stuff while on stage and that it was his idea, not mine. But of course I’m not going to argue!
Okay, maybe that’s not the best part. The best part is that he has been signed by BET to be a part of a new comedy series that they will be airing starting in 2007. I’m sure most of you are familiar with “Comic View” where they have some well-known comedy acts on the show.
Well, the new show will feature up-and-coming comedians poised to break through to stardom and he will be appearing on at least 3 different shows during the season.
So he will be wearing “Conquer” on BET!
If I had found out that he was going to be on BET I would have paid him to wear my stuff, but what’s really cool is that he likes enough that he had the idea himself to wear it.
I’m so excited that I just had to let you guys know about it! Hopefully this exposure will give me some needed publicity and help vault me to the next level.
