eBay – Free Shirt Friday!

by Jeremy Schoemaker on May 18, 2007 · 52 comments

Earlier this week I was thinking I was not going to be able to do free shirt friday =(. I had not gotten any free shirts for a while… Well low and behold this week I got a box from my awesome friends at eBay!!! When I opened it up it had a sweet black “Whatever it is” shirt, a gray shirt (which looks great with muscles – see below) , a nice blue spring jacket and some pens and even a deck of cards!!!

Sorry … Just completed 3 weeks of some pretty intense training thanks to these guys and showing off my guns.

Thanks to my good friends at eBay you guys rock! (eBay US affilaite team below)

nah I train for health reasons not for vanity ;)

I’ve heard that getting that extra stuff removed is healthier for you because it’s weight you aren’t really “supposed” to have now that you’ve shrunk. So it wouldn’t just be a vanity thing… though this has been debated on your other post.

I’ve got a friend who’s recently dropped about 125 lbs. When one of his friends saw him for the first time in 6 months (after the initial shock of course) he says “You may have lost a mess of weight, but you’ve still got a big man’s head.”

Sweet shirts/jacket, and nice gun show. ;)

You need to get ‘Auction’ and ‘Ads’ tatooed on each gun.

ebay needs to come up with something better then “Whatever IT is, you can get it on ebay”. Either way it must be nice to get free gear.

I’m not sure they’re EXACTLY the same. I think I might get a bit more pleasure from WOW than Jeremy’s FSF. (No offense).

Nice GUNS Jeremy … if you aren’t doing it already, you might start taking some before/after pictures for your fitness program – maybe you can end up like the guy at http://www.johnstonefitness.com/ – awesome job there by a network engineer with incredible dedication.

Seems you have a bit of a model inside you

You could make some special Blog just about free T-shirts. It would be nice project. You could but there t-shirt affiliate links and make some bucks.

Nice shirts, your wardrobe is probably filled with merchandise like this huh! Do you ever shop?

What’s the weirdest shirt you ever received?

30 Robert Melton May 19, 2007 at 7:14 am

If a free t-shirt is all it takes to get some publicity – then I might just have to make some up and pass them around :-)

Me and the shoe are tight from back in our pizza days.

The eBay folks are probably looking for friends right now. After the have been pushing the crap out of direct link PPC to them for years, they banned it. I suppose that and the fact that they are raising commissions otherwise only helps AuctionAds though.

33 Joey May 19, 2007 at 4:49 pm

Huh. This free shirt Friday thing just clicked with me. Great way to get swag and give some love. You get free stuff and traffic. The T-shirt giver gets added exposure. If you figure the cost of the T-shirts with the page views of the post I bet it is a great deal for the giver.

Man, I wished I had thought of this idea.

I got a free Yahoo tshirt about 8 years ago when I did a job for them in London. No I loved that tshirt and the muppet decided to throw it over the balcony of our apartment in Spain. I was going to throw here over to get it :)

Yeah, i was going to suggest doing a fitness site if you aren’t already. Of course, it’s not like you don’t have one or two other things on your plate at the moment though.

Is that part of where that thing came from? ;)

Reply

37 Brian Mark May 20, 2007 at 10:33 am

I sent him the shirt last week for branding, but the link was nice, too. Not that we’ve really noticed much of an upturn in traffic, but marketing is all about continually doing something to increase awareness and build your brand.

Do it… you’ll be amazed at the results. ;)
