There’s something about wearing your logo on a piece of clothing that makes you feel more legit.
Business cards and stickers are great, but a t-shirt or jacket makes a statement. Am I right?
You’re saying, “Hey you! I’m bold enough to advertise my business across my chest.”
Or something to that effect.
I always thought that people who had t-shirts made with their logos on them had lots of money to spend on printing.
Well, I was apparently wrong. It’s totally easy to get a shirt with your business or blog logo on the front (or back) of it.
I recently made my very own another jennifer long-sleeved t-shirt on DressUnited.com.
I went with a long-sleeved shirt because I live in Maine, and you can pretty much wear a long-sleeved shirt year round. (Also, how comfy are long-sleeved t-shirts?)
There were several colors and styles of shirts to choose from on the website. I ended up with a white shirt for something different. I always seem to have dark shirts on. Plus, I figure it’ll match pretty much anything. I suspect I’ll be throwing it over short-sleeved shirts on summer nights.
Since I’m not one for overly decorated shirts, I kept it simple with my logo and my tagline, be bold. be heard. give back. eat bacon.
Let’s hope my kids stay away from the white shirt with their dirty paws.
The cool thing is that you can order one shirt at a time. Now that I’ve tried out the long-sleeved t-shirt, and the quality is good, I’m eying a hoody. (Hoodies are arguably more comfy than long-sleeved shirts.)
What do you think? Is the shirt a good conversation starter? Or at you just staring at my chest?
What would your t-shirt look like if you designed one on DressUnited.com?

Random fact about me: I worked in advertising/marketing for 15 years and a large part of our business was print and promotional items. In the last few years I was there, the technology advanced in ways that made printing very low quantities very cost effective. I would totally wear a Fierce Diva shirt – if I ever have a”real” logo designed! You look great in your shirt by the way!
Ha. Thanks, Ilene. Maybe one of these days I’ll hire a graphic designer to take the logo to the next level. I’m happy with simple for now. There are so many great options for printing out there now!
I love your logo! As for me, I don’t have one at all!
I have lots of graphic designer friends if you ever need a referral. 🙂 (And I wasn’t thinking you were saying anything bad about my logo. I just never put a whole lot of time into my design. 🙂 )
Man, I SO need to get one of these. I have been meaning to get on the ball: I need to create a way to buy my work on my website, get going with the website Zazzle again, and yes, design a t-shirt. Thanks for this awesome marketing idea. 🙂 And thank you, too, for your sweet comment over at my blog…all the sweet words I have been getting have made this whole ordeal a bit easier to bear. <3
Cyndi, I would love to see your work on shirts and all kinds of things….like my wall. 🙂
And you’re welcome. My oldest dog is 12 and starting to show his age. I can’t imagine what it will be like when he is gone.
Looking great, Jen! I would definitely get the hoody, but not in white.
Linda
Yeah. A hoody in white doesn’t seem like a great idea, particularly the way I wear hoodies!
Now I want a shirt!!! I am going to check this out!!! I want to make all my friends (who don’t even read my blog) wear them if I get like ten or so!! LOL Love this idea Jennifer!!
Go for it, Chris! It’s certainly a conversation starter, right?
I definitely would! I’m proud of my blog and ministry! I will have to check this site out!
Awesome, Jamee. I think t-shirts are a great way to show a blog off.
Hmmm…you have me thinking. I just had a logo designed and I love it!
Cool. Show it off! The prices are great.
Ssshhh! Don’t tell Lisa, but it looks like I have found our joint Christmas gifts to each other! 🙂 Love this idea so much and your is FABULOUS!-Ashley
I promise, I won’t tell Lisa. Although Christmas is a long time to wait! You’ll have to pose with your t-shirts when you get them!
