Web 2.0 Marketing - Using Widgets & Gadgets to Sell Custom T-Shirts Online

Creating your own t-shirts online is old news. Creating your own t-shirt design template that other people can then customize online is new. Especially so, when you can add your t-shirt design template to a widget that, when the design image is clicked, opens in to a fully functional online design studio.

Parker, Colorado, May 15 2007 -- CustomAvenue.com has just introduced a new angle to marketing t-shirts online - customizable t-shirt designs in widgets. Their new design studio enables people to create custom t-shirt designs and buy them, like a few other sites do. But, once you have created a design, you can then add it to a widget that will allow other people to begin with your design and customize it further. The widget can be added to just about any website.

A widget is a small application that has been developed so it can be installed on websites or blogs simply by adding one line of code, much like adding a link to a page. It's very simple to do but, once added, a widget offers advanced functionality.

Custom Avenue's widgets display pre-created t-shirt designs, or t-shirt templates, for web site or blog visitors. When a visitor clicks on the widget a full featured design studio loads with that design ready to be customized. Within minutes, the user can add their name to team t-shirts or completely transform the t-shirt design in to something fashionable, new and original. Special widgets have been developed for Joomla and Mambo users as well.

T-shirt templates can be made by just about anybody. Artists can start from scratch and load their own artwork while the non-artist can use the supplied clip art or start with a standard design template and customize it. The end product is a one of a kind t-shirt unlike anything you would find at your local mall.

Due to recent advancements in technology for textile printing, Custom Avenue can offer a custom designed t-shirt at the same price many retailers are selling mass produced shirts. The basic custom designed t-shirt is under $20. Other garment styles are available as well. These include women's t-shirt styles, sweatshirts and hoodies.

Custom Avenue has an advanced partner program that allows the creators of original t-shirt designs to make money from retail and wholesale orders. Partners can add tracking links to their widgets and/or t-shirt template designs that will track both usage and sales. It's easy to join and easy to set up.
