The first 6 t-shirts are the worst on the site .. initial pictures should be the best ones .. to be honest their not that eye catching ..
Would go with t-shirts that just show a picture , something funny and eye catching IMO.
Think if you got pictures of the tops on some good looking people they might sell better  ;)

I cant put pictures of the t-shirts on people just the designs as they are now! thats how spreadshirt works im afraid, what i could do is create a site and put the that shop bit in one frame and create a proper site around it, what you think??

To be honest the t-shirts with just the text seem just lazy design and wouldn't interest most people IMO.But hat off to you for for what your doing ..
The only one i like is the head phone one  .. the girls vest tops seem a bit dated IMO .. but then i haven't gone to a rave in years ;)

Are you limiting yourself by calling the site club gear ? maybe another name that could help you sell a bigger range if t-shirts for  the age group of 15-35.

Not saying these are great either . but more on the line of what will sell IMO ..

Think if your going with club gear , you should be catering for the Gay Client ;)

Use you own DESIGN ...  keep a note pad with you and jot down any idea's .. have a good look at loads of sites and get a feel for what is selling ..

Doesn't seem to be  any great sites for club gear .. so if you get it right , you could make a few £££££££££

If your able ,  think i would go with your own web page .. that can show proper t-shirts on people .

Get a web address that sounds appealing and use it purely to link to that site......a glorified splash page if you want.
If you have the resources go to town with mini cards printed with the site address on it and canvas the clubbers. Look for clubbing podcasts, email the hosts and see if they will promote your site....maybe offer a t-shirt or 2 for free in competitions.

Mqay I suggerst Googlead, their web optimizings tools are excellent seeing where people jumpo off your site. It can also put up dummy pages and test for the best.

Id suggest posting on a forum site somewhere that you might frequent, that has a lot of users.

Shirts are not bad at all mate, I wouldnt wear them like because they wouldnt suit me, they shouldnt be too hard to sell. Id sell the majority of them in the dinner hour outside the college here! Its harder to sell online really I think. I just sling the boxes of fake shite I get in the van and hang around the college and normally come away a lot wealthier and without the majority of stuff I took with me!
Mirra, 7777 wake up the thread needs you!
