I have a start up company that I'm trying to generate buzz for through tshirts, cups, towels, balls, koozies... you know small shite that I can hand out during a tail gate or other event.
Any website suggestions that I can use to get my logo on some of these items for cheap? Anyone have experience with zazzle or any other website?
I've budgeted about $3,000 for promotional stuff to start off.

I didn't see any thread with this topic.

I would try to find a local printer. In my experience, they've been the lowest prices and great quality.

I've also used TotallyKoozies.com and TotallyPromotional.com with success.

I used customink for my kid's shirts that he sells with his martial arts logo. Their website is easy to use to configure your logo, and their crew will do any touchup work or correction needed. They have a LOT of different shirt brands and styles available. I was pleased with their service, though they aren't cheap.

Car decals. A friend of mine has several for his company and he has all of his friends and family sporting one. Plus it looks cool and is free marketing driving around.

Best of luck in your new business

Ive heard good things about customink and I'm thinking about it. I just don't want to break bank at this point. At this point, quantity is probably more important than quality.
I'm betting on more revenue in the future and then I might focus on quality.

Your entrepreneurial vision is absolutely deplorable. Come up with your own ideas, do your own research.

I'm not sure I've ever wanted to see someone fail as much as you.

Before you spend any money on junk that gets your name out to a bunch of people that would never be a lead for your business, google "inbound marketing". Is it a SaaS Company?

Your criticism is very rich.

I'm sure everyone that ever started a business knew everything and didn't need any help

Yes, I think they need to rethink their strategy here...

Yes and No. We primarily focus on mobile app development and depending on the demand and success, we might branch into other software services.

Inbound sounds like the approach we need. We are small and getting business from a college or huge company might take a while.
