Custom Poker Tables – Free Shirt Friday

by Jeremy Schoemaker on July 24, 2009 · 97 comments

Free Shirt Friday has been going for a couple years now and this is by far the best thing anyone has sent.  CustomPokerTables.com sent us a ShoeMoney branded custom table.  This is a really sturdy table — it took 3 guys to get it off the truck and into the office.  They were not messing around, and instead of sending a crappy CafePress printed t-shirt, they went all out.

So if you are in the market for a poker table, I highly recommend checking out CustomPokerTables.com.  They have a good selection of tables, and like I said before, these are very high quality and will last a long time.

Thanks CustomPokerTables.com for the awesome FSF submission.

Here is a pic of the future… me dragging monster pots with my nut flush!

Nope this is a brand gift and they send it because they deal in this.

This is really a better way to expand your business name and brand.

They certainly knows that you love your brand name and hence instead of giving their own logo they have added your ones.

That’s really nice of them. So this one is furniture poker table or professional poker table.

63 Jacques Snyman | 3 Quotes July 26, 2009 at 4:44 am

Definitely a cut above the average friday fare, but a gift like this sure has given Custom Poker Tables a good review and a punt from The Shoe, so a clever marketing tactic all in all. At this rate we’ll start seeing all kinds of funky branded gifts and toys showing up instead of T-Shirts. Diversity sure does work for me.
