Impressions and T-shirtforums.com Form Alliance

Sept 24, 2007

Impressions magazine and T-shirtforums.com have joined to provide Impressions readers and Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS) and Promotional Apparel Expo (PAE) attendees an online community for decorated apparel discussion. Impressions is redirecting former Impressions Forum subscribers and visitors to T-shirtforums.com instead.

Subscribers who previously used the Impressions Forum to locate hard-to-find apparel items and promotional products can now subscribe free to T-shirtforums.com to get the same product location help in the "Wholesale T-shirts and Other Products" discussion group.

T-shirtforums.com was launched in 2004 by Rodney Blackwell, who describes himself as “a T-shirt enthusiast and Web site developer.” His background includes about 11 years of selling his own line of T-shirts online and about six years of selling screen printing services online. He also co-founded PrintMojo.com, an online printing and fulfillment
service.

Now numbering more than 23,000 members, T-shirtforums.com is an online gathering place for T-shirt enthusiasts of all types, from producers to users. While its main focus is T-shirts, the site’s various discussion groups also provide opportunity for questions and answers over a wide range of decorated apparel products and processes.

Impressions readers and ISS and PAE attendees can link to T-shirtforums.com from any of the aforementioned Web sites.
