Getting the word out is key to any endeavor. Whether you're promoting an event, a business or an entire town if folks don't know then the response is "nil".

I came up with (what I think is) an ingenious idea to promote Tarboro and all businesses in Tarboro without costing a penny.  I've set up a  shop on Cafe Press that will offer T-shirts and other merchandise to promote the town, town events and businesses in the town.  To be included, all a business has to do is provide me with a logo and I'll upload it to the online store.

A customized tote bag like the one shown here sells for $13.99 (+S & H) and a basic T-shirt goes for $14.99 (+S & H).   There are many items to choose from including hooded sweatshirts , baby clothes and coffee mugs.   It's not a money-making opportunity. The money goes to Cafe Press, but the good thing is that folks can buy your advertising "stuff" at no cost to you.  You don't need to hire a printer and pay for the stuff up front hoping to cover your costs.  There is no cost.   Ingenious , huh?

A similar idea could be used to actually raise money for an event.  We simply up the price of the merchandise and the profits from each sale will go to the event fund.

So far, the only items in the Tarboro Tees store are those that I've added, but as more people know, more people will go.  To shop now visit: www.cafepress.com/tarboro
