Promotional clothing is so successful as an advertising medium that everyone is using them. In fact, the recession has forced many businesses to find ways to advertise inexpensively as part of their expense cutting plans, and printed t-shirts have proven to be a good choice. People enjoy promoting products and services they have spent money on and that turns the logo bearing shirts into walking advertisements.

Now the consignment shops are discovering that brand new t-shirts are selling like hotcakes when they are printed with the consignment theme. Consignment shops are taking on a new life as a result of the recession. In the United States, consignment shops have gone upscale often selling designer handbags and designer fashions for hundreds of dollars. Of course, the stores still offer plenty of reduced price gently used clothing, but the stores are now viewed as good sources of current fashions at reasonable prices. It is no wonder they are now selling new promotional clothing as a way to advertise.

A place named Collage located in Birmingham, Alabama is a great example of the use of promotional clothing. The owner of a chain of consignment stores decided to offer Consignment Diva t-shirts. The classy shirt come in a variety of colors and several different sayings and logos. In fact, shoppers can choose from among five different shirts, but one of the most popular shirts has been the one that simply says Consignment Diva.

For some consignment shoppers, the allure is the thrill of the hunt, so to speak. Finding the designer fashion that looks new but at one-third of the price is all part of the fun. So don’t be surprised when you see someone proudly wearing a t-shirt that proclaims she is a Consignment Diva.
