My project called sour tshirts is already up and running, ive been active since i graduated last summer, BA Hons illustration and design.
So far i have been letting people know about the designs and shop via facebook but so far that has only yeilded a small amount of sales and following on facebook fanpage.
I need £ 600 to pay for a highly focused ad and marketing campaign so more people and importantly the right people can see the shop and designs i out there and where they can go to get it.
My dsigns are not the norm, im trying to create something new and unusual, not to follow the trends but to blow them away, art you can wear on your chest.
Hello there, my name is Jim Sour and I am a designer and illustrator. After graduating a BA Hon's degree in Visual Communications Illustration in 2010 I decided to go into business for my self, designing and selling t-shirts with the aim of creating something different from the usual t-shirts available out there. To be bold and daring, cute yet creepy or cool yet thought provoking. The end result was http://www.sourtshirts.com , take a look for your self and even if you not contributing let me know what you think as all feedback is greatly welcomed. I've been designing and selling since graduation and using social networking to spread the word and market myself.
My designs are becoming popular and I'm developing a following. Had some great sales and reached many different places in the world, already released two sets of designs with another two already in the making. I need contributions to pay for an advertising and marketing campaign because I need to reach more people before I can start generating the type of revenue where the profit margin will effectively pay for the marketing itself. Basically used all my capitol creating the products, website etc with none left over for major advertising.
I need £600 to pay for an ad campaign that’s ready to run via facebook advertising solutions. The reason I've chosen this method is because it can be highly focused and targeted to the precise audience, people who meet the age, spending, trends and likes criteria so not one penny is wasted on advert impressions going in front of people who wont be interested.
One case study example of its effectiveness is when Facebook Adverts provided CM Photographic with the ability to target its exact demographic — 24-30-year-old women whose relationship status on Facebook indicated that they were engaged. Over 12 months, CM Photographic generated nearly $40,000 in revenue directly from a $600 advertising investment on Facebook. Of the Facebook users who were directed to CM Photographic’ website from the adverts, 60% became qualified leads and actively expressed interest in more information.
Help me to get Sour T-Shirts known to all and in return you will have some great benefits made available to you that no one else ever will get. In the long run I want to grow Sour T-Shirts and make into a local business to be proud off and generate jobs, and grow it whilst keeping the ethics. The ethics being to produce the best quality product possible with passion and attention and to sell at a fair price, none of this making an artistic screen print t-shirt and selling it for £40, that’s greedy and I don’t believe in it. Make an honest product and sell for an honest price.
I like to think inside the box, outside the box, then destroy the box and play with the remains, I approach everything differently and radically, better to stand out and lead the new way instead of following the crowd, this I will always stay true to.
