Some of you know I am starting out my own clothing shop featuring my designs and illustrations. The shop is called "19" and will feature clothing with aggressive or humorous designs on top quality merchandise. Each shirt will feature original artwork that has been created from scratch, and follows a hardcore, testosterone fueled ethos. I'm not trying to become the next Affliction, but I would like to make money off things I like to draw and design (since, you know,I went to school for that sort of thing). Here is what I want to do to promote it:
Of course I am going to advertise through social media, but a big thing to me is word of mouth. I want real people telling other real people about the quality of the artwork and how the designs, printing and shirts are store quality. I have created teaser cards that look like this:
I want to take these cards and give them to people...leave them at stores, restaurants, bars, etc....anywhere where people might see them. Hell, leave one with your tip when you go out to eat...be creative. I left them intentionally vague thinking that if I actually branded them as "clothing shop" people may or may not go there and check it out. But, people's natural curiosity should lead them to at least check it out. That alone is incredibly helpful.
Now, here's where you all could help out. If you PM me your address, I will mail you some of the cards and you can spread them around wherever you live. So, not only am I promoting it where I live and the surrounding area, but you guys can reach all kinds of places I can't! I will try and figure out a way to create a discount code or something for you all for your trouble, but I would greatly appreciate you helping my business venture become successful.
Thank you all!
