Buffalo T-shirts label

I received the samples of the front hem label yesterday. I ordered two samples with different sized web addresses and I prefer the smaller of the two. The front of the label shows the Buffalo T-shirts buffalo. When you flip the hem over, the web address,bflotees.com is displayed. They look absolutely fantastic so Im placing the order. It will take 12-18 days to ship here. That gives me 2 weeks to get shirts printed for the first run. Time to start laying out the website!

Buffalo T-shirts viral/word-of-mouth Marketing idea

I just thought of an idea to get the word out about my t-shirts in the Buffalo, NY center core that might create some unique buzz. It'll combine word-of-mouth advertising with a viral marketing aspect.
Ill share it when its time, but it'll be fun--with prizes to boot.

Buffalo T-shirt Labels

I received scans of the t-shirt labels this morning. These will be stitched on front bottom hem. The front will be the buffalo image, the back (or inside) will have the web address. Im starting with just Black on White, but if things go well, Ill get other color combinations that will compliment different shirt colors. They are sending me the samples to approve. If all goes well I should have them in hand in 2 weeks. That sounds kinds like a deadline to me.

Widget, Mini Site Maker

Here's an interesting new app to create mini-sites, widgets,etc. called Sprouts. I havent looked into it too much but plan on testing it out this week (to create a twitter widget) and see what it can do.

Thanks to libraronin for the twitter on this.

The Steak Place

A little salt, some pepper and a couple shakes of Worcestershire Sauce. Let em sit for an hour, then on the grill. Serve fur on one side, milk coming out of the other. Thats all there is to it.

And then you see the ultimate mark of corporation life and you cower in fear of the mass superior concept ride of joyous mastery of text, graphics of design and font establishments.

I gotta say, its kinda fun trying like hell to write badder and worster than evil clamato.
Give it a try. Go on.

Younger Furniture

Just put down some cash on a new chair at The Stock Exchange on Hertel Avenue from Younger Furniture
Nice lines. I adjusted the color to reflect what were going with-kind of a creme/off white. Legs are straight-up 70s but the body is classic 50s mod. Love it.
Heres a quick read about The Stock Exchange from Buffalo Rising here.

Google AdWords and Spiders

Picked up a couple books this week and have been hunkered down reading, making adjustments to my sites and drafting some ads until SCORE gets back to me. Both books have steps you can implement nearly immediately. Not the most entertaining reading as of late, but I learnt a thing or two.
