Free T-Shirts

When designing a T-Shirt to be given away free, check on the following:
1) Invest in a 100% cotton material. You don’t like to wear it, what makes you think others will?
2) Get the right thickness. Too thin, the girls won’t wear it, too thick, might be too hot for the summer.
3) Make lots of X-large and XX-large sizes. The population is growing in body size unlike the undernourished days.
4) Tell you boss it is not the number you have reached handing out the shirts. It is the number than wears it after you have handed it out. Some bosses just don’t get the difference between what’s ‘perceived results’ and ‘actual result’. And since the latter is usually not measurable unlike the former, they are happy to hide behind the pretence of the former. After all, they too have bossess to report to. Job done. Go home. ;-) Shirt as cleaning cloth.
