Please don't let the boo birds discourage you.  We want products like yours to be available because we also love the lake and lake living, and are proud to wear lake-themed apparel.  We also value the lakes online web site and all it has to offer, but that Bruce doesn't do it out of the goodness of his heart.  Please look into what it might take to become an advertiser and the benefits that come along with it.  I do know that Bruce highlights new members and their services on the home page, and on occasion after that initial assignment.

As to my comment about Mike's Merchandise, they also sell lake-themed shirts, but at a significantly lower price.  Mind you, the quality of shirts and their graphics are probably well below what you are selling, but there also is about a twenty dollar difference in price. As you market your wares you might want to provide a little rationale as to why one would pay the difference, be it the quality of the shirt, the uniqueness of your graphics, and/or your limited production numbers.

Whether you decide to become an advertiser or not, I wish you luck with your venture.  And again, please don't let the negativity of a few deter you from offering your wares to the great majority of us who admire your entrepreneurial spirit.
