Free Advertising Means Free T-shirts for All

Corporate Casuals, a manufacturer of printed and embroidered shirts, located in Concord, Massachusetts, USA has decided it will offer anyone who visits their web site the opportunity to create their own t-shirt using templates available or by uploading images. A small shipping and handling fee is all that will be required.

When asked why Corporate Casuals would offer free T-Shirts to the public, Andrew Callen, CEO of the company said, “There are a lot of T-shirt makers with trendy Websites and funky slogans. These sites are great for gag gifts, but when it comes to creating decorated apparel for business or special occasions, we think a customer wants to do business with a company that offers years of experience, the lowest prices, great online design tools and great service. This is precisely why we are offering a free-T -- we're giving away custom printed T-Shirts in order to earn customers' future business, and we are confident that customers will come back for more.”

For many, creating a t-shirt and not having to pay for it seems like a marketing campaign with a catch. But as many people are discovering, they can create their t-shirt, complete an order form, pay shipping and handling costs, and not have to worry about pop-up ads, or other marketing tactics. “I was skeptical when I first heard about the free-T offer from Corporate Casuals, because I don't believe that anything is free without a catch. There really is no catch -- I wasn't hit up for advertising or bombarded by upsells in the check-out process. I simply received a high-quality T-shirt that looked fabulous, and the service throughout the process was impeccable, said Caitlin Kuhe, a graphic designer who tried the free service.
