What is the best way to get sponsored t-shirts for an event?
The best way to get sponsored t-shirts for an event is by soliciting the local businesses around that event. They know that the t-shirts will be worn by potential customers within their area making a donation for t-shirts a logical idea for advertising. In return they should be allowed to put their logo on the t-shirts and sometimes even get the opportunity to market at the event as well. This makes sponsoring t-shirts a win-win situation for everyone involved.
It's very natural early on in the process to have the inclination to solicit the t-shirt printer for a donation. The hardest part about this as a screen printer is having to say no because we get this offer almost daily. This certainly isn't because we don't believe in the cause or the importance of having printed t-shirts for an event. If anything, we know the importance of the t-shirts more than most. The problem is that if we donated t-shirts each time we were asked, we would no longer be in business.
What we like to do to show our sincerity is offer a free feature for the print job. This could include one of the following - free artwork, free shipping, a free a rush where viable or a discount on the whole job. We do this and don't expect anything in return such as logo placement or marketing at the event. We try to help where we can because we want to be your t-shirt printer.
