Looking for a fun, effective, inexpensive way to promote your alpaca ranch? T-shirts are a great way to increase awareness of your ranch in your local area.
You can wear them to run errands and attend community events.
But not all t-shirts are created equal.
Here are 7 Helpful Tips:

1. Make it yourself for a few bucks a shirt.
   You will need white t-shirts, iron-on transfers for light colored t-shirts, and an iron.
   You can create and print a variety of attention getting designs right on your own computer.
   
2. Make sure you have your logo on the front for brand recognition.
   
3. Add an interesting picture on the back of the shirt so people can look at it for a while.
   Do not forget to add your website address on the back.
   You can use different pictures on your shirts and see which one gets the most attention.
   
4. Consider where you will be wearing the shirt and design it accordingly.
   For example, if you are attending an event for children, select a picture that will appeal to them.
   If you are going to a more professional setting, how about a logo on the front of a nice polo shirt?
5. You can pay more to have shirts embroidered or imprinted- but you lose flexibility and the ability to produce variety at a low cost, so get creative and have some fun.
   
6. Give shirts away and have your friends and family advertise your ranch for you.
   
7. Go beyond t-shirts and put your logo on your hat, apron, car magnet or anything that you can think of- and go hang out! Maybe you will meet your future customer.
   

Do T-shirts actually get attention? Yes! On our first outing, a newspaper reporter noticed our ranch shirt and we were interviewed for an article.
The more you wear it around, the better.
