"Tshirts?"


          

Hi All,

I do a side business with Computer Support ? Web Hosting and was thinking about getting some T-shirts made to maybe help get the word out about my services. Does this seem to help out any? I am in a Smaller Coast town here in Oregon.

I know business cards really help just was not sure if I should try getting some T-shirts made. Or even how much that does cost.

Thanks
James

I can't speak for the quality but Cafe Press seems quite popular... http://www.cafepress.com/ They do tshirts, hats, mugs, etc.

I've ordered some stuff with cafepress...I actually just ordered something today from there. The quality is pretty good, but I feel like there might be some other bulk company out there that would be a better way to go if you wanted to do the t-shirt thing. I personally don't know how effective it would be to have people walking around with t-shirts of your company. You would probably only get a very small return on it.

Business cards are pretty essential to having your own business. I would highly recommend investing in some business cards. One good online printing company is http://www.vistaprint.com/ .

Cool deal. That is a pretty cool service. I like Hats I can use them for when I make computer House calls.

Prices are pretty good at that site. Even for a small order. It seems to be.

Thanks for the tip

James
