Did someone say that t-shirts were boring and not hugely versatile and exciting as branding tools? Certainly not while on our watch!
At our latest count, we found 50 ways to brand a T-shirt and maximise the visibility of your brand.
In our opinion, the humble t-shirt is one of the most versatile, re-usable and practical merchandising product you can brand.
And we can prove it!
- A t-shirt is highly visible and an easy win for any networking, meeting, marketing event or activity.
- It is low cost, effective and immediately creates a group of brand ambassadors.
- It is a relatively small investment for a long-term endorsement and brand gain.
There are many ways to brand a t-shirt. Embroidered or printed logos, embedded images, embellishments, use of brand colours in the material, appliqued, etc…the list is very long.
