30/11/2009 - Using T-shirts as Advertising

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:43:42 GMT

In the last year or so, there have been websites springing up in which people offer to advertise something through their t-shirt such as this guy. What happens is that they spread the word that they will advertise something in this way with the hope that advertisers will come on board and sign up. Most of them advertise one business/product/service per day and the price goes up throughout the year. I would assume the benefit in this pricing structure is that the expensive days later in the year benefit from the increased amount of marketing that happens over time.

The main question that has to be asked is does this form of outdoor advertising work? Is it a form of outdoor advertising or does most of the marketing come via other means than the actual t-shirt such as the person running this advertising scheme such as their website, Twitter account and various other social media portals.

What do you all think of this form of t-shirt advertising?

06/04/2009 - Help us Get Empire Magazine to Run a Contest!

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:14:11 GMT

We're currently a campaign via Twitter to have the great Empire Magazine run a design contest with us in a similar way to that which Scooter & Jinx have done.

What we would like to do is have them come up with a theme for the design entries which is in someway related to what they do (in their case probably movies or some specific type of movie!).

Through our competition and the army of people that come to our site everyday, we would then be able to inform more people about the excellent magazine which is Empire and so more of them would know about that and it's accompanying website! Plus, of course, an amazing Empire magazine inspired t-shirt design would come out of it which they can then promote them too!

If you want to help us convince Empire Magazine to run a competition on here, then please do contact them via Twitter!

24/03/2009 - New Design Contest - Scooter & Jinx!

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 20:06:35 GMT

We have created a new t-shirt design contest based around our buddies, Scooter & Jinx. Here is what they say about the contest:

"The remit is basic, the design has to be Scooter & Jinx branded, though not necessarily with our logo (which we will make available upon request)- just our name. The creative vision is yours to run with in terms of type face and graphics, but we want you to do what you do best and slap your individual flavor all over it and leave the rest to us. The only influence we want to have over your design is to emphasize who we are, what we do, and what inspires us. Let these few things be your guide:

Who are we and what do we do?

Well… Scooter & Jinx is a retailer and gallery that specializes in vinyl and custom art toys, graphic / urban art, apparel and all manner of eclectic artist-designed collectibles. We’re going to be selling and exhibiting the most unique and desirable goodies that we can get our mitts on.

What inspires us?

In a word, Fun! We’re a lil’ bit gangsta, a lil’ bit geek. We love robots. We also dig ninjas, grafitti, spaceships, video games, crazy/miniature golf, pinball, most things about the 80’s and we think that 12? records and casio beats are pretty awesome. We’ll never say no to a good cup of tea and we think that puppies RULE. Oh yeh, and it might be worth knowing that our words to live by are, 'We don't play'.

Number of winners: 1

Prize(s): 5 T's, and Prize pack of Stickers, Vinyl Toys and Accessories."

We know that you'll come up some amazing designs and make it very difficult for Scooter & Jinx to make a decision. Good luck!

Check out the entries!
