You are in the thick of it. Maybe you are planning the coming campaign. Maybe it’s in full swing. Let us tell you how custom t-shirts can make a difference. There are several reasons to purchase a bunch of custom tees for staff, volunteers, and those simply looking to wear them in support of your campaign. Custom shirts are a very affordable way to spread your message, and you can get them very quickly. Why wait…you want to win the election, right?
Custom T-Shirt Cost:
The cost of a TV or radio ad can be high, especially in a prime-time slot. And your message is gone in 30 seconds into the ether of nevermore. But you can get a printed shirt cheap. Generally, you can snag one for just a few bucks per garment. And to let you know, we will provide our union bug free of charge (Good Guys Signs employees have been proud members of the Tampa Bay Typographical Union No. 299 since 2010). How about the social media route? That is dicey. A couple posts can get bypassed after an hour, or are never seen at all. If you’re not well known, who’s really following you on Facebook or Twitter to see any of your posts? T-shirts will be worn all day every day, and will be seen by thousands upon thousands of people. The cost per impression is significantly lower than it is with other mediums.
Kick-Off Events and T-Shirts:
How fantastic would it be to hold a kick-off event with all your staff and volunteers, and to see them adorning your name and a message on an eye-catching t-shirt? You made the decision to run for office. You are all in. You want to run on a platform for the people. You want to enact policy to help the lives of your potential constituents. The visual of those in a custom garment ready to launch your campaign and be there with you every step of the way must feel invigorating. That spirit of excitement doesn’t reside solely in you. They’ll put on their shirts and look around at each other. It will be a sea of sameness. A camaraderie has now been set in motion. Seemingly innocuous t-shirts will bring about a team unity which will result in a great campaign effort.
Knocking on Doors in Campaign T-Shirts:
Your volunteers have hit the pavement. They are canvassing neighborhoods and businesses in hopes of convincing the community that a vote for you is in their best interest. They are doing so wearing your custom political t-shirts. They knock on a door. When it’s opened, your name is right there, front and center. It’s the very first impression the resident sees, and it’s burned into their brain instantly. The volunteers go through their spiel, answer questions, and leave for the next house. As they walk away, you may have ordered a printed shirt that has your name and message front and back. Now, that’s the final image the resident sees. You will linger in their mind. You may have earned their vote. They may talk to neighbors, friends, and family about you, and what it was that made their decision to punch your name on the ballot.
At this point, you’ve long since kicked off your campaign. This article serves a hopeful memory of what transpired when you did decide to enter the political foray.
