Marketing is an ever-changing target for decorators. We found three rock stars who have their fingers on the pulse. Marj Easterling of Big Lick Screen Printing LLC, Deanna Smith of N the Zone Ink, and Amber Penny Massey of Tshirts for Hope Screenprinting will be joining in for our quarterly Women in Garment Decorating show. The topic will be the marketing of your business and of yourself plus a whole lot more. Listen in to hear how these successful women from our industry promote their own businesses and build their brands through the latest tools available to them.

Our regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys are all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants or lectures or selling. We are not doing this for our employers, but rather for our industry. Since February 2013, The 2 Regular Guys have been the first and the most listened to garment decorating industry podcast on this planet! We are humbled by all of you tuning in each week. We work hard to bring you information that will make your business better, and our industry better. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list and you’ll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews, and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening!
