Commercial Usage of Customize T-shirts

There are many uses for custom T-shirts in today’s world. From polo shirts emblazoned with a company name to personalized tees with team names on the front and names and numbers on the back, custom T-shirts are at home practically anywhere.

Businesses use custom T-shirts as a casual “uniform” for their employees, especially those that deal with the public. A specific logo and color will help to build a solid brand image with the business’s customers, and also serve as additional advertising when the employees wear the shirts outside of the business. Many businesses also offer an additional style of custom T-shirts to their customers, perhaps just a little different from the employee’s tees, and offer them in special promotions.
Sports teams from tee ball leagues filled with five year olds to adult leagues use custom T-shirts as their uniforms of choice. There are almost limitless design possibilities, depending on what the team is looking for. Names and numbers are fairly common on the backs of the shirts, as well as any sponsor names for the teams. The team name is generally on the front of the shirt in sports team shirts, but again, whatever the team asks for can be accommodated.

Charity functions often have custom T-shirts designed specifically for the event. This gives the volunteer team a cohesive look and helps bond people who many times have never met before that day. Many often use the tees as giveaways for donations as well. These T-shirts are worn all year long by volunteers and attendees alike, helping to build awareness for the function and the cause that it supports.

Foot races and cycling events are another place where a wide variety of customize T-shirts are utilized. Depending upon the event, the sponsors might opt for the name of the event and all of the sponsors on the back of the shirt, or even personalize it with each participant’s name.
Bars and night clubs have been very quick to catch the custom T-shirt fever, as they realize how much additional business and traffic it drives when people run about town taking care of errands with the name of the club on their back. Inevitably, conversations are struck up and the wearer will most often give the club rave reviews. After all, if they didn’t love the place, why would they wear their shirt? These shirts can be basic, with just the information about the club, or special ones can be designed around certain events. The designs themselves can also be basic, or quite detailed and artistic, depending upon the image the club is after.

In all cases, custom T-shirts can be ordered from companies who do the majority of their business online, thereby saving their customers the added costs incurred by brick and mortar operations. One of the very best Custom T-shirt companies is Under the Influence Tees. You can check out their website at http://www.utitees.com and design the shirts you need for any occasion.

Custom T-Shirts For Radio Stations’ Prize Giveaways is Becoming a Staple of Indianapolis Company’s Business

Listenership is critical to advertising revenue and profit for radio stations, and building that audience is a challenge. On air personalities are a big part, but building a brand identity for the station is critical. One quick and easy way to do that is to design and print customized t-shirts with the station’s call letters, logo, and nickname. These shirts can have pictures of on-air personalities, or cartoon characters that serve as ‘mascots’ for the station and build brand identity.

For a real life example of a mascot building a brand for a station, look at Cleveland, OH, home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rock station WMMS was THE station for hundreds of miles around in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Its logo was based upon a cartoon caricature of a buzzard, of all things! It became a national phenomenon when the slogan “WMMS-Home of the Buzzard” and the cool buzzard logo was emblazoned on t-shirts that made their way around the country with young people going off to college, on vacation, or starting careers.

Capitalizing on the success of the Buzzard was easy for WMMS. They promptly ordered scores of promotional t-shirts to be given away at live remotes at venues as diverse as the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and amazingly popular “Coffee Break Concerts” series, in which they showcased for listeners new and upcoming musical acts (among them Bruce Springsteen, Todd Rundgren, John Mellencamp, and Peter Frampton.) The Buzzard became so big that now the t-shirts were commercially viable on their own. Everyone wanted a Buzzard shirt and would pay to have one, becoming a profit center for the station, even while providing completely free advertising.

Building a strong, very identifiable brand is key, and putting a mascot on thousands of custom t-shirts that are cool enough for teens and young adults to want to wear is very smart business!

Under the Influence Tees has been making t-shirts for many years, and their new specialty is customized t-shirts for promotional giveaways. Check out their website at http://www.utitees.com, where you can get design assistance, quality t-shirts, and quick fulfillment of your orders, all with free shipping available.

Custom T-Shirts For Special Events are a New Specialty for Company

Anytime you are in charge of setting up a casual function such as a family reunion, there are a lot of decisions to be made. One thing that should always be a ‘no-brainer’ is getting t-shirts made for the event. Having great customized t-shirts emblazoned with the family name on them with thrill everybody that comes to the party! When you run into each other later, around town or around the world, there will be no mistaking that you are family by the cool t-shirts you took home with you to wear proudly.

In 5K races and marathons, and even community parades, often people come in all different types of shirts. Giving them all a personalized shirt with the name of the race or parade is an unexpected perk that they will enjoy and keep them coming back in the future.

Street festivals and community fairs alike would be wise to pass out
promotional t-shirts. People will wear them all year, freely advertising your event for the following year, and telling other people what a great time they had at the event when they are asked about their shirt. Pick a great color and design a personalized logo to use consistently from year to year for even more impact!

Charity event staff that arrives to find comfy personalized t-shirts will be thrilled, and will really feel they are part of the group, increasing loyalty among volunteers. Customized t-shirts work very well to bring people together as a team, and they will also be worn frequently throughout the year as people will be proud that they were part of a group that helped with a very worthwhile project. Custom logo and promotional t-shirts are an inexpensive perk for your volunteers that also serve as a “uniform” or sorts for the event, so that all of the people who come know which are event helpers.

Under the Influence Tees has been making t-shirts for many years, including their very popular comical beaver t-shirts, but their new specialty is customized t-shirts for special events.
