T-shirts are often times categorized under novelty item, a nice to do or a fun added element to an event or special occasion. But a well branded t-shirt is so much more than that.

 We all have one, a favorite t-shirt that we just can’t bear to part with. And when wearing it we are instantly transported back in time to the exact moment we first laid our hands on it. Bon Jovi circa 1987, Nike Just Do It circa 1988, Providence College circa 1995 and no matter how worn, tattered and faded, they are the t-shirts we will wear right to the bitter end. That’s the thing about a well branded t-shirt, it’s actually an incredibly clever marketing tool that can merchandise and leverage any brand, event or special occasion in a way that takes the t-shirt beyond just an everyday novelty item and turns it into a badge of honor and pride….a walking billboard.

What’s your favorite tee?

Working out and eating right are two things that have moved beyond just being the right thing to do, it’s moved into more of a nation’s obsession. Everyday items have quickly turned into hot ticket promotional items and giveaways, creating a greater appreciation for the incredible impact that reusable bottles (health conscious and environmentally conscious), pedometers (healthy technology on the go), custom bottled water (perfect for outdoor events!) and towels (wipe the brow or the gym equipment) can have on an audience.  Maximizing every day, practical items as your platform for communicating a key company message or slogan, now what can be more healthier than that?
