Campaign Monitor t-shirts: we need your help

May 01, 2007

We've had the idea for Campaign Monitor t-shirts in the back of our minds for a while now. Trouble is, coming up with a funny shirt is kind of hard, especially when it revolves around a fairly dry topic. But hey, if communism and couches can be funny, surely email marketing stands a chance.

Basically, we'd love to dish out free t-shirts to our favourite customers, anyone who gets in the gallery and maybe even sell a few on the site. Mat, our resident funny man has come up with a couple of ideas, but we think we can do better. We've decided to pass the buck on to you, our awesome, funny and good looking customers to help us come up with some more tagline ideas. Here's an example Mat came up with that we had a good chuckle at.

I'm single - forward me to a friend

Here's a couple of others he also came up with...

For the recently rejected:

I wasn't dumped....I was soft bounced

For the adventurous:

Ask me about my open rate

Come up with a better one and win some stuff

Think you can do better? Add anything you can think of in the comments below and those that we end up going with will receive a copy of all the shirts we print along with some email credits and a few other cool prizes we'll round up.

We don't really have any rules, but it helps if it's email marketing related in one way or another. Here's an email marketing glossary to get the creative juices flowing. No idea is too weird or too dumb, so please, help us!

My favourites so far:

[To protect your security, the picture on this t-shirt was suppressed automatically. Right click here to download the image]

[This shirt has been viewed 478 times.]

Actually, both can be there, makes sense. The first one should be in the image rectangle with a red cross. Small variation of the second can be

“This shirt has been worn 478 times.”

Nice! There are some funny ideas here.

How about: “We raised our response rates, so up yours”

If you are looking for a company to supply and print the shirts, we’d be happy to help.

You guys rule! The response has been so overwhelming and we can’t wait to narrow it down to a winner (or winners). We’ll try and pick 10-15 of our favourites over the weekend and put it to you guys for a vote next week.

Jackson, thanks for suggesting Tuxedo Ranch, looks like a great service and we’ll definitely be dropping you a line.

I really like the t-shirt shown in the example; I’d buy that in a heartbeat.
