Startup Tee Shirts: Wear the Gear of Your Favorite Startup or Founder
- demandred 15y ago"From the blog: http://bit.ly/startuptees http://bit.ly/startuptees This started as an idea to save money on laundry. We've visited the offices of Dropbox, Twilio, PB Works; even new startup Piazza, and we always accepted free t-shirts because it means more to wear and less to wash. Our ambitious goal: Sell 25 startup tee shirts for $25 each from 25 of our favorite startups. "
- oneschool 15y agoEr...we've barely had to wear the same startup tee twice!
- atarian 15y ago"25 startup tee shirts for $25 each from 25 of our favorite startups." I can't tell if you're selling a T-shirt for $25 or 25 T-shirts for $25.
- corin_ 15y agoThe key word is "each", meaning $25 per tshirt.
- swanson 15y agoReminds me of (the now defunct) Startup Schwag (http://www.startupschwag.com/ http://www.startupschwag.com/). I'm a sucker for stickers and tshirts with a cool company logo so it sounds awesome. I would take a look at what Startup Schwag was doing - if I recall you got a 'goodie bag' each month that had a shirt and some stickers, buttons, pens, etc.
- oneschool 15y agoThanks for the link. We'd check it out. For now, we're just looking to do a limited-time offer from 25 startups (already have 5+ great startups committed) as a scrappy way to keep on bootstrapping our startup.
- rrival 15y agoOr feel free to email me, I ran StartupSchwag - I'd be happy to answer any questions.
- draz 15y agohmm, are there no copyright issues involved with using another company's logo (I suppose I'm assuming a trademark was filed)?
- swanson 15y agoI think the idea is to work with the companies involved, they get some money from selling the shirts and the startups get brand exposure.
- oneschool 15y agoExactly. This is our version of "Obama O's" (AirBNB); we really did get the idea form wearing startup tee shirts to save money on laundry.
- Dramatize 15y agoFeel free to submit the tees to my startup: http://rumplo.com http://rumplo.com :)
- joshuahays 15y agoWould love to add our shirt to this. :)
- oneschool 15y agoSend me an email; it's in our profile.
- walexander 15y agoWhy does everyone's ecommerce site need a "daily deals" email sign up form now? What works for a coupon site is not likely to work for a T-Shirt site. Show me some products and there's a slim chance I might buy something. Show me nothing but a form to REQUEST spam every single day for a product i'm not even sure if I want? Ctrl+W.
- rexf 15y agoAgreed What's even worse is the model that asks for additional friend e-mails after you provide yours to get an invite.
