t-shirt Monologue 2: If you don't know Joey, you better ask somebody!

If you don't know JOEY, you better ask somebody. As cold as he is with the clippers, its almost disrespectful to refer to him as "just" a barber. Mr. Joseph Thomas is certainly living his dreams and touching tons of lives along the way. You don't want to miss the upcoming Black Tie Gala.

What's your favorite childhood t-shirt?

My favorite shirt as a kid wasn't a T-shirt. It was a button-up denim shirt that I LOVED!!! I had it until I literally grew out of it. I'm talking bout, can't even button it up anymore type of growing out. I also remember my most hated shirt. I actually threw it on top of our stairway lightbulb just to try to catch it on fire! Lol! I absolutely hated that shirt!

What is your t-shirt style?

My T-shirt style..? That's a good question. Considering the fact that I believe Man makes the clothes and clothes never makes the Man, I would say the style would be relaxed and simple. Our basic JoeyCuts.com shirts has really been favored amongst family, friends and supporters with high request for newer styles, colors and also kid sizes. In 2014, we plan to answer with an all new stlye, colors and options on design. We are also working on an online store - JoeyCuts.com will serve as the home for JoeyCuts Merchandise.

How do you employ t-shirts in your business?

Mainly for Unity. It always a great look when your involved in something and you have 15, 20, 50 people all uniformed! It's also a good way to advertise and Brand whatever it is your wanting to promote. We've also used them to give away for raffles and/or diffenrent games as well as selling them to genrate capital to support our Foundation - The Know Joey? Foundation.

How has T-Shirt King, Inc. helped bring your t-shirt vision to life?

T-Shirt King has helped my business tremendously! Advertising is always key. Staying relevant in a saturated market is not the least bit easy. So you always have to be the "elephant in the room". T-Shirt King's high level of professinalism as well as quality work allows us to become that with high confidence! Not only do they produce our T-Shirts, but Chirs and his lovely wife LeyShon go beyond just being the disributor to a real customer relationship. these guys have helped sponsor some of our community events, supported our Grooming For Success Camp as well as Chirs coaches, mentors and sponsors youth Baseball, allowing other kids to have an outlet rather than sitting around with nothing to do. Connecting and tapping into a vision with like-minded people is always a blessing!
