I know most guys do forums, magazines, websites, ect for advertising. But has anyone gone out of the norm? Commercial, add on the community tv channel, radio, or maybe decal/logo on your vehicle? Any others?
If you choose to do hats, spend the extra money and get good ones done. I have mine done on the heavy hat with the suede bill. My logo is embroidered on it with my website across the back.
I seem to sell almost as many as I give away!!
I have been in business for 5 years. Started with 30 knives and 40 dollars at a flea market. Now have a 6 x 8 trailer stacked with gear. Purvey for 4 makers , C.J. Debuel, Ellis Sloan, Charlie Rackstraw and Jim Craig. I expanded into making Rat Cutlery and Condor my biggest sellers.
I started advertising with tee shirts and car magnets. Both work very well. I made my own website and it sucked for a year. So I then signed up with Web.com and it has paid for itself easily each month.
I have learned to treat the 10.00 customer like the 100.00 one and it will all fall in place.
I just came out with my own survival pack system called G2S Survival Emergency Kit.
