It&#8217;s my favorite<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-proven-ways-to-advertise-your-t-shirts-online\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Proven_Ways_to_Advertise_Your_T-shirts_Online\"><\/span>8 Proven Ways to Advertise Your T-shirts Online<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, technology, regardless of our age, has basically taken over our lives. We rarely pay attention to ads placed on billboards. We mainly discover businesses online. According to Statista, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/470617\/apparel-and-accessory-stores-industry-ad-spend-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the apparel industry spent over $700 million on ads in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, effective online advertising is essential for all businesses. Let us look into 8 creative ways you can advertise t-shirts online starting today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-engage-with-customers-online-and-be-active-on-social-media\">1. Engage With Customers Online and Be Active On Social Media&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to this tip is the word <strong><em>Engage<\/em><\/strong>. It&#8217;s not simply starting an account and following some people, then you will get some sales and have a brand. You have the opportunity &#8211; especially on Instagram &#8211; to deeply engage with your followers. This builds relationships and a loyal following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay active with potential customer accounts. A simple response to the comments they left on your recent posts will gain their attention and trust.&nbsp;<strong><em>Like and share their content as well<\/em><\/strong>. This goes a LONG way in building your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post new content frequently to keep things interesting. Give users a sneak peek of what you have to offer and create polls to find out what products potential customers would be willing to buy from you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-recruit-t-shirt-brand-ambassadors-influential-people\">2. Recruit T-shirt Brand Ambassadors (Influential People)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding <strong>brand ambassadors<\/strong> to represent your business is easy. Many online influencers are willing to promote your brand to their followers on social media, especially when they learn they can earn a small percentage of each sale they bring in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/s_core_fitness_brand_ambassador.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-337\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/s_core_fitness_brand_ambassador.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/s_core_fitness_brand_ambassador-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/s_core_fitness_brand_ambassador-768x465.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/s_corefitness_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> S Core Fitness Instagram <\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not a quick, today strategy. But start today, and in 6 months you will see huge benefits paying off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create online applications to make it easier to recruit and reach influencers who know they can advertise your products to the appropriate target audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-create-an-awesome-destination-for-your-t-shirts\">3. Create An Awesome Destination for Your T-shirts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I find it frustrating when it is difficult to determine what products and services online stores sell. Or what the brand is about. Be clear about your brand. Advertising your t-shirt brand has a lot to do with the <strong>destination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to get complex. Keep it simple, but <em>awesome<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make it so that when customers type in your brand or click your website link from social media platforms, they will be pleased, excited, and even inspired by what they see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/johnnycupcakescom.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-336\" width=\"672\" height=\"330\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/johnnycupcakescom.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/johnnycupcakescom-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/johnnycupcakescom-768x377.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/johnnycupcakes.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JohnnyCupcakes.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Showcase reviews on your store<\/strong>. This is SO important to advertising your apparel brand online. Showcase reviews with photos, and comments that are unique to your designs. This is a critical part that can&#8217;t be overlooked. I personally love the <a href=\"https:\/\/loox.app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LOOX reviews plugin on Shopify<\/a>. It has really built our brand, and it&#8217;s simple and intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-post-customer-feedback-on-your-social-media-accounts\">4. Post Customer Feedback On Your Social Media Accounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask customers to review the products they purchased from your business. Often new customers read feedback to check if your business is <strong>trustworthy<\/strong> and the products and services are worth the money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again feedback and reviews on your social platforms just amplify the reviews that live on your eCommerce store, or Etsy store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-give-t-shirts-away-in-competitions-my-favorite\">5. Give T-shirts Away in Competitions (my favorite)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>This is something you can do right now<\/em><\/strong>. Go to Instagram, create a post with one of your shirts. If you want to add a ribbon and the word &#8220;T-shirt Giveaway&#8221; in Canva, go for it. Then add a few rules: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Follow our IG profile @yourtshirtbrand<\/li><li>Like this post<\/li><li>Everyone you tag is 1 entry to win this t-shirt<\/li><li>Winner(s) will be announce on XX\/XX\/XXXX<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>But that&#8217;s not it. Here&#8217;s a <strong>PRO TIP<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below those rules, add in a discount code (that you create) and say something like, &#8220;To get this t-shirt (or any of our gear) right now for 15% off, use this coupon code: COUPON which is good until we announce the contest winner!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Then promote it<\/em><\/strong>. Boost this post for the duration of your contest. This is the best and easiest way to get a ton of engagement with your brand, and get more followers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/instagramgiveaway.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-335\" width=\"739\" height=\"406\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/instagramgiveaway.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/instagramgiveaway-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/instagramgiveaway-768x422.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/316tees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">316Tees<\/a> on Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are saying to yourself, &#8220;But I can&#8217;t afford to give away free merch&#8221;, then you are not ready to grow the brand. That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Pew Research, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2021\/04\/07\/social-media-use-in-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">59% of U.S. Adults use Instagram daily.<\/a> Competitions get your brand in front of people with more reach than any regular post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-give-a-shout-out-to-your-loyal-customers\">6. Give A Shout-Out To Your Loyal Customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Create socials posts and tag all your loyal customers, thanking them for their regular purchases and supporting your new business. More people will see your effort in delivering satisfying services and products to your customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This should be a given for all <a href=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/most-expensive-t-shirt-brands-in-the-world\/\">T-shirt brands.<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would have felt very special if online stores thanked me for my numerous support and purchases!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-create-unique-apparel-videos\">7. Create Unique Apparel Videos&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiktok is the most favored social media platform right now. With over 1 billion monthly active users, your business can grow in no time. Short and unique apparel videos on Tiktok are a great idea to let future customers know what your business is all about. Tiktok also offers sponsored ads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a friend who is having huge success growing his t-shirt brand by filming<strong> &#8220;behind the scenes&#8221; videos <\/strong>of his t-shirt business. Whether he&#8217;s printing a t-shirt, packaging one up, or filming a stack of packages that are ready to ship, his videos are getting tons of views (over 100k on several). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can share the promotional videos on any social media platform but if you are going to make videos, make sure you share them on Tiktok too!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-create-apparel-stories-on-instagram\">8.  Create Apparel Stories on Instagram <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnicoreagency.com\/instagram-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">50% of people say they have made a purchase after seeing a brand in a story.<\/a> Those are big numbers. And stories are so easy to make. Create stories from every regular post you create on Instagram. But also create unique stories with a story creation tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/instagramstory-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-341\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/instagramstory-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/instagramstory-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/instagramstory-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/instagramstory.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zikwj-R5P_I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Youtube Video | How to Design an Instagram Story for Fashion<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Use stories more than regular feed posts to showcase your apparel. Unlike your regular feed, stories won&#8217;t negatively affect your engagement if people don&#8217;t like the amount of &#8220;product&#8221; posts they see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use coupon codes and use your brand logo in stories.
