New mask promotion on costume renting website

Finally I have started promoting foam latex masks on my costume renting website. When somebody searches for something and gets no results, then the following image with some text appears:

The photo took a few minutes to make which included putting on the mask and holding up another while setting up the tripod.
The main purpose of this is to see how many people are actually interested.

Costume renting website updates

My costume renting website was in urgent need of an update. Last night I finally rewired the menu system a bit as well as split the contact details section into three pages. There was a problem with the menu in Internet Explorer and using lower screen resolutions cut off some text.

The website is also in the process of getting new sections and a shift from ADODB to PDO. Part of the update was the preparation ofr this.

Ideas needed for costume shop promotion

The weekend of 4 and 5 October 2009, I am going to be promoting my costume renting business at a sale in Campsbay. I still need to design and print something for that, but have no idea what, other than business cards.

Part of the promotion is to be there in costume and possibly switch between several throughout the hours being there. Ideas for that are some of my superhero costumes, maybe Darth Vader (which will get hot), possibly a purple dinosaur and maybe my new lion costume.

If possible, I am also looking for someone else to stand there with me but to also be in costume. I will pay for these services if someone volunteers.

Ideas and volunteers are welcome.

Costume rental website navigation update

Last night I updated the costumes section main navigation of my costume renting website. The change was long overdue because the top of the page was too crowded. The navigation is currently floating on the left, but that is not fully ideal.
