Re: 75 Clothing (My Company) is almost live...

CREDO:
We are a small clothing boutique working in Columbus Ohio. We design clothing for a new breed of fashion conscious maven who likes to feel that the clothing he/she wears has a personal attachment with themselves. Clothing that feels to them as if it were personally made just for them. We are looking for those on the cutting edge of fashion, who would rather be a trend-setter instead of a trendroid.
As you can tell, our sense of self branding is about inverting all of life. Turning it on it's edge and making something new from that. Our brand is about exclusivity that only a select amount of people will be able to enjoy the world over. We look forward to building a family out of you who make our company what it is. We want you to know that when you purchase one of our shirts, you can rest assured that there is a good chance that you will be the only one within a fifty mile radius that will be wearing one of these shirts.
Our company has built a different breed of clothing line that demands a new breed of wearer. Our shirts are built in very limited amounts that will sell out very quickly.
Everything you see designed onto our shirts will be printed inverted...which becomes a new way of looking at fashion, you will quickly become the one people look at when they see you, which may take some time getting used to it. We will let you know when the new lines of shirts will be up for sale so you may purchase one for yourself.
We have already risen the bar of fashions to new and uncharted heights. We hope you will enjoy the ride...and remember to.....LIVE INVERTED!!!!!!![/quote]
The best of luck man, but I gotta agree with geoff. If you want to hit the market, do it with a bang instead of a dry run. Hanes shirts are just Hanes shirts no matter what technique you use to print.
Yup, sounds harsh, but I'm playing a bit advocate of the devil.
First of all, I think you need to work on your corporate image. For example: you tell the world about your new hot line on MySpace? :shock: Dude, do yourself a favour and pm Kamal for some basic webhosting. A decent website isn't that expensive and it makes a world of difference compared to a spot on SlutCity.com. A friend of mine started to design lingerie from her own atelier and sold it at her house. Yup, she's on MySpace as well, but just check out [url]http://www.lafilledo.com/index2.html[/url] and find the 7 differences... Anyway, thanks to that image and design, Murielle is kicking ass with her line.
Right, design... That's another thing. Tell me why I should spend $40 on a standard shirt with an inverted print which no one in town/50 mile radius will have? I just got back from Macedonia and I got me this local whatever brand shirt you see in the pic.

For half the price I have a shirt no one in the EU has... (radius 1.500 mile) Ok, production might be cheaper there, but they also cut on costs by recycling cloth into a new design which you won't find in the shops. I think you create more exclusivity by designing something unique in near unique numbers than by offering 100 brandname shirts. Bottom line: if you want to position yourself as designing "a different breed of clothing line that demands a new breed of wearer", you will find yourself at the exact same spot as today after you've sold your stock. Imo that would be a damn waste of enthousiasm which you abundantly have...
