One of the most popular and best known promotional items that companies use to promote their businesses are shirts. Companies use promotional shirts because they know that they are a very effective way to promote a business. There are a few things that a company needs to think about when they are choosing the types of promotional shirts that they are going to use.

What are they being used for

The first thing that companies need to think about when they are choosing promotional shirts is what they are going to be used for. Are the promotional shirts going to be given out to customers and clients, or are they going to be worn by the employees while they are at work?

The second thing that companies need to think in regards to promotional shirts is the season of the year when they are purchasing the promotional shirts. Is it during the warm weather when t-shirts would be best, or is it during the cooler weather when sweatshirts or other long sleeved shirts would be more appropriate?

Once the company has figured out the purpose of the promotional shirts and what type of promotional shirts would be best for the time of year, here are some suggestions that companies can use to get them ready to use the promotional shirts.

Variety

No matter what type of promotional shirts a company is ordering, they should order a variety of sizes and colours of shirts. The company never knows who they may want to give the promotional shirts to or what size they might wear, so it's always a good idea to be prepared.

Wear them at events

Another good suggestion for using promotional shirts is for the employees to wear the shirts at events. Whether the event is a multiple company event such as a trade show or expo, or it's a company event, wearing the shirts that represent the company is always a good idea. The shirts will promote the company and let everyone know what company the person is with, making them visible.

Give them to clients

Another thing that companies can do to promote their business with the promotional shirts is to give them to clients, especially if they are new to the company. They make a good welcome to the company gift.

Fund raising donation

The last way that a company can promote their business with promotional shirts is to offer them to an organization that is trying to raise money for a good cause. They are something that people are going to buy and will help the organization get the money that it needs, as well as giving the company some advertising.

Promotional shirts are something that companies have used for decades to promote their businesses. They are something that companies know is a tried and true method of advertising, because they are always advertising the company, and there are a lot of options when the company uses shirts to promote their business. Promotional shirts are something that everyone can wear and advertise the company while they are wearing them.

Great! Now what?

The question I'm asked most from new ezine/newsletter publishers is how to get more subscribers on their list.

Here are 7 simple ways for you to grow your ezine list - - with integrity and authenticity!

1. Make it easy.

It's amazing to me how many people have only one sign-up spot on their website or don't include an invitation to sign up for their newsletter in their email signature.

You need to make it glaringly obvious to EVERYONE that you would like to share your newsletter with them: put a sign-up box on *every* page of your website, include an invitation in your Resource Box and on your email signature. Include a note on the back of your business card and any brochures or flyers you send out.

2. Coregistration.

Speak with ezine publishers who offer products or services which are complementary to yours.

When someone signs up for your newsletter, you refer your colleague's newsletter and vice versa. Coregistration has the benefit of adding subscribers to both your and your colleague's newsletter with no real effort.

3. Squeeze Page.

A squeeze page consists of either a simple one page website where the sole goal is to collect email addresses for your ezine OR it's a "front page" over your actual website where visitors can either choose to enter their information, click away or, in most cases, click to "enter site".

4. Ezine Directories.

You can submit your ezine to online directories such at Charlie Page's Directory of Ezines (www.directoryofezines.com). The Directory allows people to search ezines by topic and decide if they wish to subscribe. It also allows other ezine publishers to contact you about using one of your articles in their newsletter.

5. Advertising.

Take a good look at other websites/newsletters which cater to your target market and advertise either on their sites or in their ezines.

By focusing only on those sites/ezines which cater to your niche, you will have a higher chance of getting interested prospects as subscribers.

6. Direct Mail.

Send a postcard to members of your target audience where you do nothing aside from inform them about your ezine and invite them to sign up.

If you are a virtual assistant who works with real estate agents, you could send a postcard to all the local (and not-so-local) real estate agents and invite them to become a subscriber.

7. Speaking.

One of the fastest ways to get sign-ups for your newsletter is to speak at public events and offer a susbscription to your ezine. You can speak at your local chamber of commerce, BNI Chapter, real estate company, or any civic groups such as the Rotary Club or Lions.

You can also offer a drawing where you give something away in exchange for names and email addresses. Just remember to let your audience know that everyone *wins* a subscription to your newsletter!

There are dozens of additional strategies to get people to sign up for your newsletter. Do some research and choose those which most resonate with you. Remember the old adage: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" -- the same is true in obtaining a thousand subscribers!
