Quote (eboyd) Just set up a boombox and bump the album and ask people if they want to buy it lol. It's not hard. If the music is dope it will speak for itself. Print some t-shirts and some RHHF business cards, hand them a business card and ask them to buy an album and tell them if they buy an album they get a t-shirt for half price. How much should shirts go for? And what should be on the bussiness cards?
Life's a bitch and I'm just along for the ride.

How much does it cost for you to buy shirts? How many shirts can you make with the paint that you have? How much does paint cost? What you do is determine your total costs and decide whether or not you want to skim (sell above market price) or gouge (sell below market price. Seeing as this will be a new product in an industry where we don't have a large demographic of people who are going to buy, I'd go with gouging. He's what you do; determine your total costs and sell to break even (make back exactly enough money to recoup the cost of making the shirts) for a week and tell everyone it will only be at that price for a week. The next week you raise the price a dollar, and the week after a dollar more. Determine at the end how much shirts you sold at each price so we can determine demand and decide exactly how much we should sell the shirts for (aka the market equilibrium).

I'm not sure how much supplies I have now. My mom said we have ALOT of old white shirts, but it will have to be black shirts unless ya'll redesign a new shirt. I honestly think it would be a better idea to redesign one. I might try something....

As for the business cards, just put the symbol, Real Hip Hop Forever, the site address, some info on what we do, etc. Btw, by all means, do NOT TELL ANYONE how easy it is for you to make t-shirts.

Quote (eboyd) What do you mean? Why would we redesign a shirt? Because I just think if we were to only put that on a shirt (the star and whatnot), it would leave alot of empty space on the shirt. I had an idea, but Idk how hard it would be to do. There could be a wall of some sort running though the middle, with graffiti on it, and a bboy doing one of those moves where there is one hand holding the person up, and one hand out to the side, like this In the hand that is out, there could be a spraycan. The spray can would look like it has a small amount of paint spraying out of it, and on the wall towards where the paint is being directed, it would read "Real Hip Hop Forever" in some sort of graffiti lettering. Idk. It's one of those things that would only look good in my head, or if you could see it exactly how I see it. But yeah, I think the current design is good, but I feel like it would leave ALOT of empty space, and if you blow it up larger, it would just make it look weird. But I'm down for whatever. Quote (eboyd) Btw, by all means, do NOT TELL ANYONE how easy it is for you to make t-shirts. Why not?

Lol dude just make the star bigger. Quote (ilikebacon3000) Why not? I'm just thinking that if they know how easy it is, demand will go down and people will be asking you to make all kinds of t-shirts.

Dude, bacon, make it 8 inches. It's easy. And Mark, you need to send him the design.
