+288 When you think about it, it's pretty silly that you have to pay for T-shirts. I mean, 90% of the time you're giving a place/thing free advertising, amirite?

If you didn't have to pay for them then what would you be advertising? Their free t-shirts?

Ha, very true. AND what about pants, shoes, hats, shades, cars. They ALL have the companies logos.

Yeah but there's no point in advertising for them if everyone's just gonna get free T-Shirts anyway. Advertising is an attempt to bring in more customers and make more money.

I personally don't understand why people would want to buy something with the name of the store in huge letters across the front. Like with Hollister, Abercrombie, and stores like that, 90% of the shirts have the store's name on them. To me it just says, "HEY, I'M A DOUCHE WHO WEARS (insert slutty clothing store's name here) SHIRTS AND I'M PROUD!!!!"

Haha true, but what about shirts for Relay for Life or UNICEF?

I think shirts that are for a good cause are fine!! I just don't like it when I see some girls wearing skin-tight shirts that an anorexic person could hardly fit into with HOLLISTER written all over it.

My Relay for Life shirts were always free. As were my blood donor shirts (unless you count my blood as payment) and some others.

Seriously? They charged us for ours, but I got mine for free because I stayed until the end, and they started giving them away because they said "2010" on them.

Yeah. Maybe I got it for free because my JROTC was hosting the event at my high school, and our instructors didn't want to charge us for the shirts after working for 18+ hours.

That's not advertising, its support/awareness.

Did you know about 90% of sales are influenced by word of mouth rather than advertisement? If you have a good quality product and good reputation, you don't need much advertising.
