[continued] Press releases for your clothing line are a must. Do not depend on others to write for you for free. I’ve had this tossed at me numerous times and to be honest, its the quickest way for a successful person to ignore you.

Asking for freebies from a person who is successful makes no sense because it benefits them probably nothing and they already have a stressful lifestyle maintaining their own business and bills. Why would they add to that stress trying to work for you? Writing a press release for your clothing line is not hard and the only excuse to not create them for yourself is laziness.

A press release for your clothing line should be interesting to readers and publications that might pick it up. You want to write about things important to your clothing line and use keywords throughout the release that your target audience might Google search or browse for on a news site.

The launch of your clothing line, new milestones, announcement of new collections and events, are a few things you should easily be able to develop a press release for. Remember to mention your brand name throughout the press release as well because it’s important to beat your brand name into the reader?s head.

Getting advertisement space for your clothing line in publications on-line or off-line will not be cheap. Again, expecting something like this free will be pointless. If a web site webmaster is a fan of your clothing line they may trade off ad space for some clothing, but this will rarely happen today. Most web sites ask for a flat rate per 1,000 impressions (better known as CPM) of your banner advertisement or give a monthly rate. Monthly rates are better in my eyes typically because you have room for negotiation. If you purchase 2 quarters of ads in advance, those sites will usually give you a lower cost per month for paying up front.
