[Njwells]

Our company, Vital Clothing Company is looking for ways to get the name out there. Between me and my partner we know a lot of people but we want to touch others we do not know and more. We want to find ways without breaking the bank. Let me know your ideas everyone.

I think it would be great for you guys to go viral. Use social media - facebook, twitter, start blogging and bookmarking (digg, reddit, etc) your articles. If you have the time and could do it yourself you could potentially save some money.

Good luck!

The successful points that I actually receive today is brought about by outsourcing ideas. Before, I have been struggling all day because I lack strategies in managing time wisely because I work by my business alone and been a little broke for sometime. Thankfully a blogger once shared this resource and I would also want to share this with everyone.

This website How To Outsource Your Internet Business - Why You Should Outsource Your Work | Mass Outsource has free videos which talks about why you should really outsource your business in an easy way. It got me inspired the way these videos are also about this Australian guy's life who also made successful results in internet marketing the way he outsourced his work. I found this effective and until now, I am continuing to get to know my business very well with my staff.

Lots of ways to advertise . Put a poster in the back window of your car. Shop windows and newspapers.

Twitter can help you a lot in this but you can use other social networking sites too to get more traffic. Don`t forget to submit your site to many directories

We may be able to help! We just launched our new service, ads to a T(shirt). We’re going to wear a different company's shirts each day during 2010. We'll wear the shirts from the moment we wake up to the minute we go to bed, and will market your company everywhere we go that day.

Plus, we're going to post videos, pictures, blogs, and updates on social networking sites about the shirts we wear each day.

January 1st, 2010 only costs $1, and the price will go up $1 each day after (so Jan. 17th is $17, Dec. 31 is $365). Each day during 2010 is on sale now, so if you're interested in an innovative way to attract customers through viral marketing and social media, visit our website!

ads to a T(shirt)

If I see another random popup for t-shirts online, my head is going to explode. The internet is absolutely not the place to build buzz for a product market as saturated as t-shirts.

Give away free shirts to bands, DJs, etc- pretty much anyone local who has exposure. It worked for every small clothing company that I knew of when I managed bands. Up and coming bands love to feel "sponsored" and whether they like it or not, they're walking advertisements for your business. As long as you make sure that you're making the product accessible for purchase (through consignment at Merch Stands, agreements with local music shops, etc), you should be able to move the product as well.

I definitely suggest you find a local scene, market within it, and build your brand that way. You're in MD, and I'm in MD, and I know theres a big music scene here, so I'm confident you'll be able to build it up.

Your business is YOU, so grab all the chances and opportunities you have to promote your product. Nothing can change online advertising. With this method, you can capture wider market and it is not limited by time.

Try something viral

I'm a fan of SEO
I have a say if you aren't in the SE you don't exist

[Ryan Heatherson]

You can market your web-sites in different forums,blogs, business directories and you can use the powerful tools of S.M.O (social media optimization).There are many sites of (S.M.O) social media optimization which includes Stumble-upon, digg, mixx, propeller, face-book,orkut,twitter and product your website on S.E.M to put advertisement of your website on search engines as well...

Do you already know the demographics of your customers? If they are teens, I would recommend you to check out some of the teens forum out there. Participate, especially in the fashion section.

Also, there are a lot of bloggers out there that would love to have a look at your shirts. If it's nice, I'm sure that they won't mind showcasing it on the blog together with a blog post about it.

Others have mentioned using Twitter but I think it really depends on whether your target market is on the platform or not. Facebook will be a better place because you can target your marketing to certain Facebook groups. For example, if you have a line of t-shirts that are for "emo" teens, then you should have a presence on Facebook groups with a bunch of emo teenagers.

I have more ideas for you on how to get your clothing line out there online. If you are interested, you can always contact me and we can talk about it.

Before we go to how to get the word out....
We might have to look at these questions:
