From apple to obama, what are the secrets of the next business generation? How do they bring together all the "cool new stuff" to shape markets and engage people in new ways. Leadership is no longer about being the biggest but the best. Connecting the new approaches of design and sustainability, co-creation and social networking, virtual and physical, to survive and thrive in a fast and connected.I am waiting for other review and suggestions.

You've probably already come across http://www.tshirthell.com/ but if not check it out. They have a 'whores' bit where they post photos of hot chicks that have bought t-shirts. They also mail monthly with a newsletter which does tempt me back to the site most times I get it. I think things like that are going to get people back...not so sure on the actual marketing though.

Just a thought, there's quite a few fashion type blogs... hypebeast.com is one I've visited a few times... you could find a few of those and send mails telling them about your new product launch, could end up with a few positive posts that way.

Start an affiliate program.

your product has the advantage of allowing you to create incentive for people to link to you, make widgets that people can post on their own site to link back to your shirts/girl galleries. "think this shirt is funny? link it to your friends <code></code>"
