finding new ways to sell

We are always looking for ways other than hitting up our friends, to sell our shirts. We ran an ad on Google and after having 340 views of our site we still did not get a sale. We are currently displaying our "Cosmopoli-tan" shirts and bags in the lobby of all T-Bones and Cactus Jack restaurants. They are also featuring the image on their "Summerfest" menu, and it's a drink you can order and enjoy. The menus came out on June 1st, the display went up on June 10th, and we still have not had a sale. We just printed out 1000 recipe cards that tell you how to make the drink and also our web address. We are hoping to have 100 of these in each of the seven locations. The promotion ends at the end of July- we are keeping our fingers crossed that we will get some sales when people catch on to what exactly we do. Yesterday, a very happy client of ours, Tracey, took a size run of all of our shirts and bags to the New England velodrome in Londonderry, NH. They normally don't sell things there, but are trying this out. 20% of the sales will go back to the programs they run there for the cyclists. She sold one shirt yesterday and had some good feedback about our latest shirt that is due out in a few weeks - "Draft Beer" - which features a cyclist drafting another cyclist while drinking a big foamy beer. You can see a sneak preview of her on the "Meet the Girls" page on our website. Tracey will continue to offer the shirts at the velodrome, on a weekly basis, as long as they are getting noticed.
