Hello everyone, I first would like to thank everyone here with all your posts that I have learned so much from. I have not posted alot but I have read alot.
My clothing line is Pinkneck Unlimited. We are targeting teenage and young adult girls. The girls here in town absolutely love them and many have bought shirts from me personally.
My downfall however is marketing. I have no idea how to market and was wondering do you guys have any tips or information that would help me out.
I do have a website pinkneckunlimited.com that I have started. It is not completely finished, and the shopping cart is not working properly, but I am still trying to figure all this out, because it is all new to me, especially figuring out the website. I am looking for information on how to contact stores and selling wholesale so I can get them to the public better. I have built a little stand and they sell quite well, so I know that they will sell pretty good.
Another question I have, is there companies that offer marketing help if they thought the product would sell good?
I have several designs but I just used 3 to start out with. The P/n is going to be one of the main symbols of pinkneck. You can click on products and see the 3 designs that I am using.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Shanne

Cute shirts. A couple of non-helpful questions from me. I see you are using the Bella brand shirts. I like the colors and cuts I've seen, so how do they run size wise? Do they seem to run big or small?
As to marketing, I'm not a marketing person, but have found a few good sites that have helped us get our site going. First try psychotactics.com a good site for general marketing info. Then try marketingprofs.com, read first before posting on their forums, you'll get better answers if they can see you are working on learning and not just trying to get them to create your site.
Also check highrankings.com and read some of their articles.
This should get you started.

Congratulations on the shirts, I wish I could give you some help in the marketing area, but we are practically in the same boat. I was wondering if you tried just word to mouth, because I get people everyday asking me about my shirts. All I every did was just tell a couple people about my shirts, I gave a couple out for free. Also you should join forums that people in your target market use and do some word of mouth over there. That will allow you to reach people you couldn't reach normally. That is what I plan to do once I get everything off the ground and it's FREE! Something I definitely need a lot of since I hardly have any money.

If you want to pay a marketing company, they will help you. Marketing firms usually cost a lot of money though.
