Hysterical Email

blockbuster late fees!

photo madness

I have definitely taken photography classes in my day, but I must say that photographing these tshirts, especially after loosing the tripod was hard. The website has gone through three rounds of photos in 2 months, there were the photoshopped image of some random guy, which were surprisingly nice but not ours, then some pretty badly photographed pics of ourselves, but finally we managed to get together and get some decent photos outdoors.

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF A SMALL BUSINESS

So,here we are about 2 months into launching OriginalBros.com, we've learned a lot so far about business, the t shirt industry, banking, insurance, shipping, web development, you name it. Joe, Brian and I took an idea and ran with it, now here we are meeting once or twice a week, building this small business on the side of our daily lives.
Now that we have some product, and have sold some product we are beginning to look further, how to make it more memorable, who to advertise too, how do we get our tshirts on tv shows, how to brand ourselves more appropriately to the narrow market we are targeting.
Original Bros is close to ordering a second round of tshirts; this may be 2 new designs, expansion into the medium sizes or even a reorder of our current popular shirts. We are very excited about this prospect and will soon consult our customers and friends as to which direction we should go in, will that be more humorous and novelty shirts, will it be more artistic and design based, should the word BRO continue to appear on the printed part of the shirt or take a back seat for a while; how do we become more Original?
We are looking forward to offering you more fun and very quality products along with additional goodies, stickers, buttons & window clings in the very near future.

till next time: Be Real Original
