How to Use Branded T-Shirts to Promote Your Business

When done right, branded T-shirts can be an excellent way of marketing your business and expanding your brand visibility to new customers. If done correctly, you can turn your loyal customers and employees into walking billboards for your company by getting promotional t-shirts onto the backs of as many people as possible.

Everyone loves free stuff, and many people will be more than willing to wear the free t-shirts they receive, especially if they already love your brand. There are several different ways you can go about giving away t-shirts.

You might also consider giving away free t-shirts to people who visit your booth at marketing events. People are always on the lookout for freebies at event booths, and will gladly accept a t-shirt featuring your company’s logo. Most people love freebies, and will wear your branded t-shirt. While business cards will likely be thrown away as soon as they leave your booth, potential customers will hold onto your t-shirt. They will be reminded of your company every time they see the shirt. If you’re lucky, they will wear it often, advertising your brand everywhere they go.

Another excellent way of getting your branded t-shirt onto more people is to give away t-shirts as exclusive prizes for contests and giveaways.

Winners will be glad to wear their t-shirt prizes and advertise your business for you.

If you’re lucky, some of your employees might even wear their logo tees outside of work on weekends or after hours. Depending on your industry, it could also be beneficial to provide branded work wear for employees to wear during their shifts. Polo shirts and jackets may be able to be branded via custom embroidery options.
