SES San Jose Best Marketing Shirts

by Jeremy Schoemaker on August 27, 2008 · 84 comments

Its no secret I am a fan of shirts… especially ones that turn heads. Here were some of my favorites from SES San Jose 2008

Adgooroo had all their people wearing shirts that said:

I’m a tool:

Use Me:

Kate Morris aka Long Horn Kate came in with this classic:

And last but not least the searchme girls with their “Search Me” on the front:

and “You’ll know it when you see it” on the back:

Special mention goes to Affiliate Manager Britney from CPA Empire:

With her pendant that says “I Love Nerds”

We take IT seriously when you show off such poor TShirts. Where are the nekkid ladies?

I guess the best way to promote your website is by having ladies imprinting your url on their T-Shirts..
I wonder if you’d get a lot of traffic this way :-)

Kate’s shirt has to be the best. Although, any pretty girl who proudly says she loves nerds is cool in my book too.

The only one remotely clever is the 2nd one. The other shirts remind me of those lame “Big Johnson” shirts from the mid-90′s. Or the concrete contractor that thinks it’s hilarious to have a cmpany slogan that says “Get em wet” or something lame like that. Anybody can think of a slogan that has some kind of double meaning. Just like I can say “That’s what she said” after about anything.
