Give away free stuff! People love free T-Shirts and sponsorship goes a long way. It’s also your duty, being in business and generating wealth, to share that with society in some way (Example: Old stock goes in recycle clothing bins, etc.).

All of their shirts are printed on American Apparel tees–the guys like that they’re made in the US and I agree that they have a nicer feel/drape than other options. Of course, they also source other items from various manufacturers. The full line includes tees, hats, hoodies, jackets–even stuff for the kids.

For men, Acttee this means nice slacks and a button-down shirt – a tie is up to you. And no jacket unless you are going to interview for an agency, and then a suit is necessary. Also, be clean shaven and showered, but no heavy men’s cologne.

Maxis are trending now so browse the different styles in the beaded, printed, lace or silk dress. If you are shopping for pants, you will find linen, cargo, denim and sweat pants.

Hopefully you already have some designs created so next is to spend some time on your shop’s website. If you need to brush up on your HTML skills, check out W3Schools, for a fast, simple way to learn HTML, and how to code websites. Personally, I use Dreamweaver, from Adobe. If you have a little money to spend, pick up this website building program. It has a great Help section, and online tutorials that will give you massive amounts of web building power, more than any template can give you. By completely customizing your website, you can update it at any time, with only limited knowledge of HTML and web design.

Now you do not want to forget the t-shirts; you can try online printing Vista or you can find a local t-shirt company in the area. The t-shirt money comes in with the deposit the coordinator will collect to cover the hotel reservations.

You need to have contact with your customers. If you let someone go to your website and leave without ever getting the chance to talk to them, you’ve missed out on a huge opportunity. You’ll want to provide a way to subscribe to your newsletter or ‘special offers’ mailing list. Try offering an incentive for them to leave their email address. If you can get a small list of people who, at least at one time, were interested in your product or service, you have a great resource for drumming up business.
