As I was surfing around my regular sites tonight to catch up on some reading (damn, another exciting Friday night), I saw a post over at ShoeMoney where he received a free t-shirt from Technorati and it gave me an idea.
T-Shirt Whore
You’re a liar if you try and tell me that you don’t love getting free stuff. Picture the last time you were at a conference or trade show and you pretended to listen to the sales pitch just to get the stupid pen or other free crap being handed out. You know you’ve done it. When you can score something as prime as a t-shirt, no matter how stupid it looks or if it will even fit, you’re flying high for days (okay maybe that is just me).
So where is all of this going? Well, I thought I would throw this idea out there and see if it goes anywhere. If you send me a free t-shirt (preferably something in 2XL) I will snap a picture of myself wearing it (reserve the right to hold it if it doesn’t fit) and then write up a review of a website/business/whatever of your choice as a token of my appreciation. If you’d like to contribute to my goal of becoming a true t-shirt whore, please contact me for details on where to send the goods.
Who is going to be the first to send me a t-shirt? As an added bonus, I will add an extra link on the sidebar to whoever sends me the first t-shirt!

Lol, I’m in I’ll send you an Exit Gear shirt. What’s your chest size?
Sweet! I’ll drop you an email with the specifics.
man . . this is a great idea to get some free stuff. I’m going to start one for something . . i just can’t think of anything right now!
Thanks…when I saw the post at ShoeMoney with the free shirt he received I immediately thought it would be a cool idea to try. So are you gonna send a MrGaryLee.com t-shirt my way or what? 🙂
ha . . i wish i had the funds to buy t-shirts for my site . . . but I do have some t-shirt ideas 🙂 I’ll let you know once I get them 🙂
Cool, sounds good.
dude! im all OVER the free stuff at trade shows! haha!! they could be giving away free dirt, and i’d grab a pile…
would u wear an XL? and could i put ANYTHING on it?? 😀 this is gonna be fun…
and if anyone wants to send me a shirt, i’ll do the same. i wear a small 😉
You’re on msdanielle! I happen to have a few women’s tank tops in my Exit Gear collection. What color? White, blue or red?
Lol, I can try to wear an XL but it might not be pretty! You can put ANYTHING you want on it, I think that is part of the fun.
I’ll contact you with details.
Free stuff is always fun even if its crap that gets thrown out later.
I remember going to an AMD conference in Vancouver and getting all the free swag at the beginning, leaving during the ‘talks’ (we went on a little pub crawl), came back and talked to the vendors who gave us more free stuff.
Lol. It’s always fun too when you find a booth giving away good stuff to try and hit them multiple times to get the goods.
Ok, make me a Tshirt whore as well 🙂 Surely come in handy and cheaper than suncream when I am strolling on the beaches.
Preety, as of right now I am not pimping out whores as I am trying to be the t-shirt whore myself. 😆
Although looking at your sites I might have better luck getting t-shirts if I were to promote with some of those pictures. 😉
Ah, so u no pimp wo, just my bad day 🙂
Well, wet your tshirt n take a ic, so can feature on my site if u feature my site on yours (which is ideal at the moment I feature u ….)
Ummm, I don’t think anyone should be subjected to a picture of me in a wet t-shirt. Now if you want to supply a pic to me, I will gladly feature you here. 😉
Eh, how does my avatar ends up here???? scary!
Your avatar ends up here because I am using the MyAvatars plugin on my site. Why do you think that is scary?
O I c, didn’t know about that plugin, so me thinking u kinda wierd wizzard 🙂
Where does that plugin gets the avatars then?
And, how u get the “subscribe to comments via email”, also a plugin?
Thanks!
Try the following links for each of those plugins:

Hey you want to host a tshirt contest giveaway?
Sounds interesting!
How would that work Derrik?
That is funny “send me your shirt” hahaha!
I don’t know why everyone is laughing this is a great promotional tool if used effectively. Any company would be happy if their customers were wearing appropriate t-shirts that positively increases their brand recognition.
Whenever my clients ask me about trade show giveaways I recommend a collared golf-shirt with a little company logo. This has proved time and again to be one of the top promotional giveaways at hundreds of conventions and trade shows. Their much more useful then a pen, or a branded golf towel, that’s for sure!
So…do you have any clients that want to send a shirt my way? 😉
I’ve got two in queue that I need to post about but would be happy to add to that list.
Count me in also….. I don’t mind to have free stuff. 🙂
Asia’h Epperson’s last blog post..Shutdownday
Ha! Free stuff! Well i guess i could part with a few t-shirts. The concept sounds crazy but hey all great things sound crazy in the beginning. Now my dear friend, what size do you wear?
Do you have XXL?
Judging by how everyone loves the giveaways, I can see why exhibitors put this stuff out to get more visitors.
Hahah. This is a great idea. I love the creativity of it. Simple service, but a great way to get hundreds of t-shirts for free. Cheers. I’ll have to contact you.
Who can honestly say they are not a t shirt whore?! Everyone would be a walking billboard if the price was right (free). Tee shirts are the ultimate swag.
