Are You T-shirt Worthy??

by Liz Fuller on July 25th, 2008

(www.businessanblogging.com) Susan Gunelius of Brandcurve is getting ready to run a contest next week - and the prize is a t-shirt from CNN.com with one of their headlines emblazoned across the front!

I found this idea so intriguing - What a great offline way to advertise your online blog - by putting it on a t-shirt!

CNN also sells the t-shirts for $15.00 a piece which they say is at cost - no profit to them - they just get the free advertising.

With businesses like cafepress, any blog (or any business) can afford to sell custom t-shirts that advertise their blog.

As an experiment, I took a look at some of our recent headlines at Business and Blogging to see whether any of them would be good t-shirt material.

I came up with a few from recent weeks that are contenders, but not really up there with “Life is a Beach”:

Coffee Break 

Blog is a Verb

Blog on the Run

and my favorite (written by Laura)

Does Your Teenager Twitter and Plurk?

What do you think? Would printing a quote from your blog increase readership, or at the very least give you a reason to start up a conversation?

What blog headline of yours would look good on a t-shirt????

Be sure to stop by Susan’s blog  on the 28th to get a chance to win a CNN t-shirt, and while you’re waiting, read her interview with Andy Mitchell, VP of Interactive Marketing, CNN Worldwide.
