Alrightey,
So I'm in the first steps of starting a new clothing line (we're screenprinting at this very moment). I have experience in running a business, but I do not have much experience in doing a great job advertising. I live in a college town, so our cheapest and first methods of advertising will be: 1. printing out 3982364 stickers. sticking them on everything and everyone we see. 2. printing out 34234 flyers. handing them out to everyone we see and know. 3. paying for a cheap advertisement section in the local newspapers (and campus papers). Does anyone in this field have any good suggestions of what other methods, albiet cheap at this point, to do? Thanks |

Interestingly, one of my Management professors was speaking to us today about a clothing line he is starting. He has secured $20 million in investments and hired s former Liz Claiborne executive to manage the line. Starting a business is very hard and expensive. I don't want to discourage you, but you will likely fail.

Use the internet. Buy facebook advertisements. Make a MySpace profile for your line and friend everyone in the area. You better have a website.

Advertise in facebook... costs like $15 for 3 days. Your advertisments hit only the school you want... its something like 30k views for that small price.

get a group of hot chicks to wear them (maybe sell them too?) on wherever the main drag on campus is. also, sleep with the hot chicks.

Stickers is a great idea. I'm amazed sometimes when I see stickers I gave away to people stuck in random public places.
Also, you should look into wheatpasting posters. You buy a box of $3 wallpaper paste at Home Depot, it makes 2 full buckets of glue. You print out a bunch of 11x17 posters from a school laser printer and you use a brush to put them up with the glue. Tons of free advertising, but be careful of the cops. |
