Free Custom T-Shirts

[smoterh.livejournal.com]

Would you like a free custom t-shirt? You can get one if you'd like...

My company puts on a annual event called the T-Shirt Day and as part of the celebration we throw a big party and give away free custom t-shirts. Although our company is located in downtown Boston and this event has nothing to do with Davis Square I thought I'd share this with you if you're interested in getting a free custom t-shirt.

Basically all you have to do is go to t-shirtday.spreadshirt.com and design your own tee before June 14 (instructions are on the site).   You will have to pick it up at our T-Shirt Day Party, at the Alibi Bar and Lounge at the Liberty Hotel, on June 21, between 4-7.  We're going to have a big hoopla that's going to include t-shirts (of course), complimentary cupcakes from Kickass Cupcakes and beverages (no open bar). There is no credit card required, you don't even need to enter your real address and there is no "catch".  If you don't feel like hanging out at our party you can just grab your shirt and go home.

The only reason I'm sharing this here is because I want to share the love with my Somerville neighbors.

Just FYI.
This is where you can create your own free shirt:

And this is the general page for the event:

Thanks! I have designed a great one, but i never came to the field where I was to enter the coupon code. I'm reluctant to add my credit card info ... do you have to in order to see that field?

Re: cool idea!

[winterhill.livejournal.com]

Never mind. Blew right by that field. Thanks.

Cool.
I'm glad you found it. Yep. No credit card info needed. I'll see you on June 21.

FYI for others.
The coupon field is in the first checkout page after you're done designing your shirt. It's right below the image of the shirt that you designed.

I remember this from last year's event. Thanks so much -- I had fun creating my shirt today!

If this is too much Q&A for a free t-shirt that's totally cool, but what are the limitations here? For example, can I have words printed on top of a design? I apologize if this is a stupid question.

[smoterh.livejournal.com]

There are some limitations. You can have words printed on the design in most cases as long as the design you choose is vector based (you know if the desig is vector based if you're able to change the colors in the design after you place it on a shirt). Typically if the interactive designer allows you to design it, it's ok (not always). If we have some production problems with it we'll contact you. If you have additional questions feel free to PM me.

You can also place designs both on the front, back and both sleeves.

Wow, thank you so much for the detailed message -- this is awesome. I do have text on top of a vector-based design, and I think I'll submit it that way and see how it comes out. Hey, it IS free! :)

Thanks again!!!!

We typically produce these in 24-48 hours so that customer service usually gets back to you within that time period. But we're using a different method for this promotion and the t-shirts won't get made until shortly before the event. if you PM me your name i can double check with customer service in the next couple of hours.

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

OK, PM'ed you. Also shared this on FB and with my office. Folks are excited. It's so funny -- I actually just found this site a few weeks ago, and was planning to make something anyway, so it totally works out. Thanks again!

[smoterh.livejournal.com]

Great. Thanks for sharing.
I checked out your order and it looks great. No problems. At all.

[busylilbear.livejournal.com]

You're my new best friend. :)

[smoterh.livejournal.com]

awesome!

Wait, Kickass Cupcakes is from Davis Square, right? That makes this post totally relevant to Davis. Free Kickass cupcakes is something many Davis Squares are happy to travel a bit for... :-)

If I design a shirt and spreadshirt prints it, who owns the rights to the design after that?

[gilana]

It seems to be mostly moot, since from what I can tell you can't actually upload a design of your own -- you have to use their clip art and fonts.

(Of course, I discovered this *after* spending an hour or two working on a design for myself...)

[smoterh.livejournal.com]

Yes that's true. For this free t-shirt promotion we don't allow people upload their own designs. It's a logistical thing and only limited to this promotion. This promotion also allows you to choose only from 3 or so shirts.

However, if you would just go to Spreadshirt.com, you can upload your own image and then buy the shirt (or any of our 150 products). Designers own all rights to the designs they upload. We even have a system where you can make money on your designs if you wish.
