A City DIvided

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:22:00 -0500

So Ive been working on Endorsements lately with some of the local bands here in st.pete it turns out I know 2 guys from my middle school that are now in a band that's getting pretty big on the local scene. So we made a deal and I sent them some shirts. I worked hard to buy the shirts and make them and lets just say we had some complications and while they were supposed to all wear them on stage only one of them ended up wearing one. But all in all it was a great night here's some Pictures.

I'm Back in Business!

Hello Again!

Im so happy to have a computer again, my computer broke down for like 2 or 3 months and I haven't been able to do anything to further BTC because no computer=no business, well anyways last night I went to the animal collective show at the state theatre in downtown st.pete,Fl and had fun besides the fact that I got there at 5:30 waited in line, stood in the "forever hopeful" line because I didnt buy tickets in advance to a sold out show and didnt get in the door until 9 someting. Black Dice played their set and animal collective didnt come on until 10:30! and I didnt even get to stay for the whole show due to some complications but Im glad I went. Downtown I feel so at home, I also got a new marketing Idea. My target audience are the people who goes to those shows so I figured why not pass out promo cards down there before the shows sometimes Im thinking of doing the DDG show and whatever else comes up also skate parks and malls its gonna be good for business...I hope it works out

until the next one

So Last week I went to a fashion show. The Dresses were beautiful. I wore Black Glasses with no lenses and my Saks Leapord print Fur Coat for the first time (Can't wear that thing alot in Florida with out some one asking you if you have a hundred dollars they could borrow, so I take Every Opp I can get :D) Under a black mini Shift dress It was amazing. I've been going to few fashion shows recently to get some Ideas for the BTC Apparel Spring/Summer Show. Im so Excited and scared at the same time. Money is an issue in these times especially when you're trying to build a business. Plus...Im only __ so you know...Im thinking of showing 35 shirts, Not to much not to little and I have about 25 models (Crazy Right!) But Now Im just focusing on getting a date for the building and and the invitation design and posters and marketing tactics. But I suppose I'll update you later

Until Then...

For those of you who don't know me personally, I Decided to put up a picture of myself on here. I didn't wanna draw to much attention to that so I only put a half face pic...Maybe I'll show you my whole face later...You won't be dissapointed...at least I hope not.

Anywho...hahah I'm currently in the process of creating the BTC Apparel 2009 Ad campaign, we're doing a photoshoot with some of my model buds. And soon you'll see new faces on the site...It's gonna be great...I've been thinking about it for a good month now and the perfect Idea just came to me in an almost breathtaking second...We'll See how it goes...

Until Next Time.....

So the sites been up now about a month and a half. And as Im promoting the site and the people are talking they're all like remember me when you go big" or "has anyone bought anything yet" and I have to say "no" but you know living in america people expect success to come quickly and easily because thats how everything else is. We can watch a movie anytime we want just by clicking a button, we can get food anytime of the night in less than 30 minutes. If we want to watch some viral we don't have to wait till we get home to watch it we can watch it on our cell phones! We're all about Instant gratification but then you have to realize some of the best companies in the world right now took Y E A R S to take off. But it's okay the world might not be around long enough to see BTC become the NBT(NexT Big Thing, just in case you didn't get that :)) but anyhow I guess we'll just have to wait to see what happens next...

Waiting Outloud,

so Ive been passing out cards at school and putting them up certain places and writing the website on some of my teachers boards at school too. I wish someone would buy something People keep saying they will...I can't wait...I found a teacher at school to sponsor the fashion show and theyre actually happy about doing it Ive asked other teachers but they weren't the right fit I guess. Ive been feeling a bit nostalgic lately I don't know why exactly but I'll figure it out well thats about it...

waiting and wishing

Getting There.

Hi Guys,
Its been a pretty good week the models I picked to wear the shirts wore the shirts this week, like for 4 days in row and 2 on the same day. I hope my strategy of picking people who know alot of other people to wear my shirts works.
Its so cool to see a kid walking around wearing something youve designed. The economys slow but Im gonna keep on keeping on.
You never know what could happen...
Until next time Cyclebreakers
Sincerely
Joan.

So I just set up our myspace solely for business purposes I used a website called love my flash.com its cool today was pretty okay a few kids at school saw my site today for the first time and they loved it. I know people say this all the time but when designing the site I have you the customer in mind, without you guys I wouldnt get anywhere I used to hear music stars on awards shows say stuff like that and now I know what they really mean
until the next time cycle breaker,
