I thought of the idea to make a handful of capes for my friends for free and give you guys business cards that I would very much appreciate if you could hand out to questioning friends and individuals. No hard pressure though. I don't want or expect anyone to be some hard core salesman.
The only people in NY I know would rep my cape relativity frequently would be you, Geoff and Marz. So if you have anyone close to you that you think would love one, look good in one and it would be truly beneficial for me to make them one let me know!
I just need your/their height and choice of 2 specific colors.

I will probably set my limit for now at 8 free capes (includes you two).

Hun that's super sweet, but that may not be the most efficient way of going about it...

If capes is what you're aiming for you  might want to target particular costuming communities with a stronger focus.

You'd probably want to go a more cos-play route, set up an Etsy page, then find some online forums/communities/discussion boards where people talk about dressing up in particular styles and about making things, and find a natural way of joining the conversation. Sure, you can go the "hey guys, I'm new and I make these capes that are each unique and quality made etc etc" and people may show interest or have other advise to offer you.

Also, in these discussions you could identify the right events to attend, these are not necessarily or even not likely to be burner events - these could be more of the pretend-sword fighting clubs the Ren-faire junkies, etc. That's where you should send people in capes to  hand out business cards! ...though first you'd have to check with the event's rules on solicitation.

oook so these are my thoughts for now xoxox

Thanks marzie for your input very helpful : )
