Quik - Thank you Brandable, it's nice to hear that sometimes! I think, the reason is this...I've got no $$$ backing, and quite honestly, this is my only business experience. I'm a graphic designer at a sign company for my day job, with a wife who goes to school full time and two little girls. Since I'm the only earner in our family, (and graphic designers don't make that much) 90% of the profit from Six Deuce goes into household stuff like groceries, bills and clothing for my kids. It's absolutely vital for our family, and I truly appreciate every single order. Unfortunately, that money should go back in to advertising and marketing to grow the business, so it's kind of a "treading water" problem.

You gotta fix that before it puts the nail in the coffin. There's got to be someone out there who believes in your product enough to help with pro bono marketing and such. in reality, it doesnt require much nowadays, every major social media outlet is intertwined.

Good thinking...Facebook, Twitter and Myspace (back in the day) have all been invaluable for getting the word out. Nothing even comes close to the UG though, in our case. No UG = No Six Deuce. A lot of people have been very charitable with helping us too. We do just need to get to that next level!! I wish we could get picked up by one of the bigger companies, like Affliction picked up American Fighter, Tapout bought Hitman, and Badboy got bought by Revgear (I think). That would be optimum, but so far, no luck!!

Nothing comes close to the UG because you spend most of your time and efforts here ;). also people lend credibility to the red name, so im sure that helps.

imagine if you spent half that time marketing to the social media consumers out there?

i do it for my small picking business, and have racked up around 6 thousand sales on Etsy, and 5 thousand on ebay within the last year and a half. i have a degree in forensic pathology, so it's not like this is something that comes naturally to me.

no homo, but i believe you can do it if you put your mind to it.
